I Consider Biennial Elections As A Security

A Large Portion Of Our Citizens, Who Will Not Believe, Even On The Evidence Of Facts, That Any Public Evils Exist, Or Are Impending. They Deride The Apprehensions Of Those Who Foresee, That Licentiousness Will Prove, As It Ever Has Proved, Fatal To Liberty.

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 ?

A Government By The Passions Of The Multitude, Or, No Less Correctly, According To The Vices, And Ambitions Of Their Leaders Is A Democracy.

The Known Propensity Of A Democracy Is To Licentiousness Which The Ambitious Call, And Ignorant Believe To Be Liberty.

Our Liberty Depends On Our Education, Our Laws, And Habits . . . It Is Founded On Morals And Religion, Whose Authority Reigns In The Heart, And On The Influence All These Produce On Public Opinion Before That Opinion Governs Rulers.
