Henry Ward Beecher: “Old New-England, that suckled American liberty, is now suckling wolves to devour it.”

These are symptoms only, not the disease; the effects, not the causes.

All attempts at evasion, at adjourning, at concealing and compromising are in vain.

Having once given forth this spirit of liberty, now fading out of our Southern States, the North should again come forth and refill the poisoned veins that have been drinking the hemlock of Despotism with the new blood of Liberty!

An infernal Juno, envious of the destined greatness of this country, hath sent this serpent upon it!
