More from Horace Mann
A southern slave stands higher, politically, than a northern laborer, if the latter must vote as his employer dictates.
Why, fellow-citizens, the ballot is worse than useless, if it be not FREE!
Better be debarred from the privilege of voting at all, than to be mocked with the form, while cheated of the substance.
The liberty of voting includes all other liberties.
