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.
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.
Why, fellow-citizens, the ballot is worse than useless, if it be not FREE!
The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.
