This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
Tendencies of nations, as revealed in history, teach that our aims are in harmony with prevailing laws, which God, in his benevolence, has ordained for mankind.
