Horace Mann: “Is there a single Whig constituency, in any free state in this country, that would return any man that would not vote…”

Men of Massachusetts! moral and religious men! lovers of freedom and of your country, were you prepared for this?

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.

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