Liberty Has Not Only Enemies

Moral Precepts Are Constant Through The Ages And Not Obedient To Circumstances.

I Saw In States' Rights The Only Availing Check Upon The Absolutism Of The Sovereign Will, And Secession Filled Me With Hope, Not As The Destruction But As The Redemption Of Democracy.... Therefore I Deemed That You Were Fighting The Battles Of Our Liberty, Our Progress, And Our Civilization, And I Mourn For The Stake Which Was Lost At Richmond More Deeply Than I Rejoice Over That Which Was Saved At Waterloo.

The Few Have Not Strength To Achieve Great Changes Unaided; The Many Have Not Wisdom To Be Moved By Truth Unmixed.

From The Absolute Will Of An Entire People There Is No Appeal, No Redemption, No Refuge But Treason.

There Should Be A Law To The People Besides Its Own Will.
