Shame On The Men Who Can Court

In Short, It Is The Greatest Absurdity To Suppose It In The Power Of One, Or Any Number Of Men, At The Entering Into Society, To Renounce Their Essential Natural Rights, Or The Means Of Preserving Those Rights; When The Grand End Of Civil Government, From The Very Nature Of Its Institution, Is For The Support, Protection, And Defence Of Those Very Rights; The Principal Of Which, As Is Before Observed, Are Life, Liberty, And Property.

A General Dissolution Of Principles And Manners Will More Surely Overthrow The Liberties Of America Than The Whole Force Of The Common Enemy.

Rebellion Against A King May Be Pardoned, Or Lightly Punished, But The Man Who Dares To Rebel Against The Laws Of A Republic Ought To Suffer Death.

Let Us Contemplate Our Forefathers, And Posterity, And Resolve To Maintain The Rights Bequeathed To Us From The Former, For The Sake Of The Latter. The Necessity Of The Times, More Than Ever, Calls For Our Utmost Circumspection, Deliberation, Fortitude And Perseverance. Let Us Remember That "if We Suffer Tamely A Lawless Attack Upon Our Liberty, We Encourage It, And Involve Others In Our Doom," It Is A Very Serious Consideration That Millions Yet Unborn May Be The Miserable Sharers Of The Event.

If Virtue & Knowledge Are Diffused Among The People, They Will Never Be Enslav'd. This Will Be Their Great Security.
