While Dwelling With Pleasing Satisfaction Upon The Superior Excellence Of Our Political Institutions, Let Us Not Be Unmindful That Liberty Is Power; That The Nation Blessed With The Largest Portion Of Liberty Must In Proportion To Its Numbers Be The Most Powerful Nation Upon Earth, And That The Tenure Of Power By Man Is, In The Moral Purposes Of His Creator, Upon Condition That It Shall Be Exercised To Ends Of Beneficence, To Improve The Condition Of Himself And His Fellow Men.
