More from Horace Mann
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.
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.
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.
