More from Horace Mann
The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.
Better be debarred from the privilege of voting at all, than to be mocked with the form, while cheated of the substance.
Men of Massachusetts! moral and religious men! lovers of freedom and of your country, were you prepared for this?
The man of independent circumstances has this liberty; and no man’s circumstances, not even the poorest and the humblest, should be so dependent as to take it away.
