He Rewards Or Punishes Them According To Their General Character. The Diminution Of Public Virtue Is Usually Attended With That Of Public Happiness, And The Public Liberty Will Not Long Survive The Total Extinction Of Morals.

Let Us Convince Every Invader Of Our Freedom, That We Will Be As Free As The Constitution Our Fathers Recognized, Will Justify.
