Our Government is a nearer approach to a popular form, and more nearly allied to true freedom and justice than any other in existence.
The tendencies of government from earliest historic time have persistently been to universal sway.
It will only be considered as a means to other and higher ends.
Charity, with its long cloak of justice escaped, has long enough covered a multitude of sins.
