The Sum Of All Is, If We

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.

For No People Will Tamely Surrender Their Liberties, Nor Can They Easily Be Subdued, Where Knowledge Is Diffusd And Virtue Preservd . On The Contrary, When People Are Universally Ignorant And Debauched In Their Manners, They Will Sink Under Their Own Weight, Without The Aid Of Foreign Invaders.

Mankind Are Governed More By Their Feelings Than By Reason.

Driven From Every Other Corner Of The Earth, Freedom Of Thought And The Right Of Private Judgment In Matters Of Conscience Direct Their Course To This Happy Country As Their Last Asylum.

The Liberties Of Our Country, The Freedom Of Our Civil Constitution, Are Worth Defending Against All Hazards: And It Is Our Duty To Defend Them Against All Attacks.
