This stupendous page of our history must be followed by one more glorious still; and the slave will finally show to the free brother a sharpened iron which belonged to the links of his chains.
You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
You have conquered, and you will conquer, because you are now trained to the tactics which decide battles.
Education gives liberty—education gives to the people the means and the power to secure and defend their own independence.
