More from Horace Mann
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.
My instincts, reason, judgment, conscience, may all mislead; but from the first time, now years ago, when I heard this subject broached, my instincts, reason, judgment, conscience, have all been in its favor.
Why, fellow-citizens, the ballot is worse than useless, if it be not FREE!
