Oh, How Wretched Should I Be At

Is The Relinquishment Of The Trial By Jury And The Liberty Of The Press Necessary For Your Liberty? Will The Abandonment Of Your Most Sacred Rights Tend To The Security Of Your Liberty? Liberty, The Greatest Of All Earlthy Blessings - Give Us That Precious Jewel, And You May Take Every Things Else! . . . Guard With Jealous Attention The Public Liberty. Suspect Every One Who Approaches That Jewel.

Guard With Jealous Attention The Public Liberty. Suspect Everyone Who Approaches That Jewel. Unfortunately, Nothing Will Preserve It But Downright Force. Whenever You Give Up That Force, You Are Inevitably Ruined.

It Is Natural To Man To Indulge In The Illusion Of Hope. We Are Apt To Shut Our Eyes Against A Painful Truth, Till She Transforms Us Into Beasts.

....i Am Sure That The Dangers Of This System (the Federal Constitution) Are Real, When Those Who Have No Similar Interest With The People Of This Country (the South) Are To Legislate For Us - When Our Dearest Rights Are To Be Left, In The Hands Of Those, Whose Advantage It Will Be To Infringe Them.

Whether This Will Prove A Blessing Or A Curse, Will Depend Upon The Use Our People Will Make Of The Blessings Which A Gracious God Hath Bestowed On Us. If They Are Wise, They Will Be Great And Happy. If They Are Of A Contrary Character, They Will Be Miserable. Righteousness Alone Can Exalt Them As A Nation. Reader! Whoever Thou Art, Remember This: And In Thy Sphere Practice Virtue Thyself, An Encourage It In Others.
