Better be debarred from the privilege of voting at all, than to be mocked with the form, while cheated of the substance.
Why, fellow-citizens, the ballot is worse than useless, if it be not FREE!
The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.
Men of Massachusetts! moral and religious men! lovers of freedom and of your country, were you prepared for this?
