A Jury Of My Countrymen,

The Dependence Of One People Upon Another, Even For The Benefits Of Legislation, Is The Deepest Source Of National Weakness.

A Good Government May, Indeed, Redress The Grievances Of An Injured People; But A Strong People Can Alone Build Up A Great Nation.

The Treason Of Which I Stand Convicted Loses All Its Guilt, Has Been Sanctified As A Duty, And Will Be Ennobled As A Sacrifice.

The Prosperity Of A Nation Requires The Protection Of A Senate. Hereafter A National Senate May Require The Protection Of A National Army.

I Now Bid Farewell To The Country Of My Birth - Of My Passions - Of My Death; A Country Whose Misfortunes Have Invoked My Sympathies - Whose Factions I Sought To Quell - Whose Intelligence I Prompted To A Lofty Aim - Whose Freedom Has Been My Fatal Dream.
