Horace Mann: “But the impious hand of man divorces these twin capacities, wherever it denies knowledge.”

A southern slave stands higher, politically, than a northern laborer, if the latter must vote as his employer dictates.

These are but specimens of what the Fugitive Slave law has already done, before the public mind has become familiarized with its brutalities, and while there is yet some sensibility to the claims of justice and mercy left among us.

The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.

I answer, that this difference which they so be-little and disparage will often be all the difference between freedom and bondage, between life and death, between honor and infamy, between happiness and perdition.
