More from Horace Mann
Better be debarred from the privilege of voting at all, than to be mocked with the form, while cheated of the substance.
Why, fellow-citizens, the ballot is worse than useless, if it be not FREE!
The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.
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.
