The Silver Trump Of Freedom Roused In

It Was Unlawful, As Well As Unsafe, To Teach A Slave To Read.

To Drag A Man In Fetters Into The Grand Illuminated Temple Of Liberty, And Call Upon Him To Join You In Joyous Anthems, Were Inhuman Mockery And Sacrilegious Irony.

The Marriage Institution Cannot Exist Among Slaves, And One Sixth Of The Population Of Democratic America Is Denied It's Privileges By The Law Of The Land. What Is To Be Thought Of A Nation Boasting Of Its Liberty, Boasting Of It's Humanity, Boasting Of Its Christianity, Boasting Of Its Love Of Justice And Purity, And Yet Having Within Its Own Borders Three Millions Of Persons Denied By Law The Right Of Marriage?

In All The Relations Of Life And Death, We Are Met By The Color Line.

The Man Who Is Right Is A Majority. He Who Has God And Conscience On His Side, Has A Majority Against The Universe.
