Horace Mann: “Nature never made such a distinction, or established such a relation.”

Better be debarred from the privilege of voting at all, than to be mocked with the form, while cheated of the substance.

The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.

Let me read to you the disparaging and contemptuous remark of the address on that great palladium of human liberty, the trial by jury.

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.
