The difference between this motto of the Liberator and that of the Free Press: Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country--measures the greatness of the revolution which had taken place in the young editor.

And in this moral mud there bred apace bestiality and cruelty, superstition and sensuality, tyranny and fear--the black brood of man's inhumanity to man.

It is a gangrene preying upon our vitals--an earthquake rumbling under our feet--a mine accumulating material for a national catastrophe.

But ignorance is a breeder of crime just as poverty is.
