More from Horace Mann
Let me read to you the disparaging and contemptuous remark of the address on that great palladium of human liberty, the trial by jury.
The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.
Why, fellow-citizens, the ballot is worse than useless, if it be not FREE!
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.
