The institution which oppresses you is suffering from the decrepitude of age, and is the scorn and loathing of the world.
Up--quit yourselves like men: and may Almighty God direct and bless your efforts!
You will be cheered by the approbation of your own consciences, and by the plaudits of mankind.
In the place of your present contempt, and degradation, and misery, honor, and wealth, and happiness court your acceptance.
