Henry Ward Beecher: “And this is the reason why a free, unobstructed Bible always works toward human rights.”

Yet, New-England, strong at home, compact, educated, right-minded; has gradually lost influence, and the whole North with her.

If the power of producing effects is the criterion of value, the few will always be the most valuable, and the mass relatively, subordinate, and the weak and lowest will be left helplessly worthless.

But the North will be an utterly dead force in the American nation.

New-England first formed those institutions which liberty requires for beneficient activity; and from her, both before and since the Revolution, they have been copied throughout the Land.
