Right Is Of No Sex, Truth Is

The Constitutional Framers Were Peace Men; But They Preferred Revolution To Peaceful Submission To Bondage. They Were Quiet Men; But They Did Not Shrink From Agitating Against Oppression. They Showed Forbearance; But That They Knew Its Limits. They Believed In Order; But Not In The Order Of Tyranny. With Them, Nothing Was "settled" That Was Not Right. With Them, Justice, Liberty And Humanity Were "final;" Not Slavery And Oppression.

If The Negro Knows Enough To Pay Taxes To Support The Government, He Knows Enough To Vote; Taxation And Representation Should Go Together. If He Knows Enough To Shoulder A Musket And Fight For The Flag, Fight For The Government, He Knows Enough To Vote.

Our Community Belongs To Us And Whether It Is Mean Or Majestic, Whether Arrayed In Glory Or Covered In Shame, We Cannot But Share Its Character And Destiny.

Right Is Of No Sex-truth Is Of No Color-god Is The Father Of Us All, And We Are All Brethren.
