I Am Commonly Opposed To Those Who Modestly Assume The Rank Of Champions Of Liberty, And Make A Very Patriotic Noise About The People. It Is The Stale Artifice Which Has Duped The World A Thousand Times, And Yet, Though Detected, It Is Still Successful. I Love Liberty As Well As Anybody. I Am Proud Of It, As The True Title Of Our People To Distinction Above Others; But . . . I Would Guard It By Making The Laws Strong Enough To Protect It.
