FromThe American Sentinel, Vol. 7, No. 31

To govern their own spirit and deal righteously among themselves is a greater and a more difficult thing for the people of a nation than to take the cities of their enemy. Where a people do not deal righteously each man with his neighbor, civil conditions of internal dissension must soon arise more dangerous than foreign war. Those who sigh for justice and equity, and those who go about to do injustice and inequity can not live always together in peace. If the constitutional theory of a government upholds civil equity, and civil and religious freedom unalloyed, and the government in its statutes and judicial practice is false to its principles, either it will utterly fail, or revolution must purge it.
