Our People Shall Be Free

To Penetrate And Dissipate These Clouds Of Darkness, The General Mind Must Be Strengthened By Education.

I Am For Relying For Internal Defense On Our Militia Solely Till Actual Invasion, And For Such A Naval Force Only As May Protect Our Coasts And Harbors From Such Depredations As We Have Experienced; And Not For A Standing Army In Time Of Peace Which May Overawe The Public Sentiment; Nor For A Navy Which, By Its Own Expenses And The Eternal Wars In Which It Will Implicate Us, Will Grind Us With Public Burthens And Sink Us Under Them.

Money, Not Morality, Constitutes The Principle Of Commercial Nations.

I Join You Therefore In Branding As Cowardly The Idea That The Human Mind Is Incapable Of Further Advances.

No Freeman Shall Be Debarred The Use Of Arms.
