David Daggett: “My fellow citizens human nature is the same here as in France--Then before you give ear to the songs of enchantment…”

The freemen of Connecticut are mighty when they arise in their strength.

We see industry and integrity rewarded with competence or wealth--we see intemperance and sloth followed with disease, loss of reputation and poverty.

If no benefits will result--if much evil will probably ensue--the course of duty and interest is plain.

Before you neglect an election Count the Cost --If the loss of your Vote should prove the loss of an election of a single man, then will you not have Counted the Cost.
