We Are, Heart And Soul, Friends To

The Happiness Of A People, And The Good Order And Preservation Of Civil Government, Essentially Depend On Piety, Religion, And Morality.

The House Is Composed Of Very Good Men, Not Shining, But Honest And Reasonably Well-informed, And In Time Will Be Found To Improve, And Not Much Inferior In Eloquence, Science, And Dignity, To The British Commons. They Are Patriotic Enough, And I Believe There Are More Stupid (as Well As More Shining) People In The Latter, In Proportion.

Why Then, If These New Books For Children Must Be Retained, As They Will Be, Should Not The Bible Regain The Place It Once Held As A School Book ?

I Consider Biennial Elections As A Security That The Sober, Second Thought Of The People Shall Be Law.

We Are, Heart And Soul, Friends To The Freedom Of The Press...it Is A Precious Pest, And A Necessary Mischief, And There Would Be No Liberty Without It.
