It is for that, which man can do unshackled, and mind can i^each untrammelled, and thought can dare unfettered. It is for that glorious liberty, wherewith God himself has made us free ! It is for that all-pow erful principle, ^^ hich makes use of America to move Europe ^ and how- ever pressure may keep down its inward vigour, or combination arrest its onward progress, enables the friend of man, wherever his own fortune, or the anchor of his hope, may be cast, to exult like Gali- leo, rising fro...m his idle recantation, it move NEVER THE LESS !* The principle of liberty is one of prodigious force, There is a spirit in man to overcome, by its intrinsic energy, any oppresion, by which he may have been^ for a season, or for a series of seasons, overborne. It bursts, with a superhuman might, the most mas- sy piles of political establishment, imposed upon natural rights and moral sentiments, and covers the earth w ith their fearful ruins. It is a serious inquiry, why the action of this principle ended so unfavourably in the country, to which it was con- ducted from us.
