The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts in the hour of danger.
Elevate those guns a little lower.
It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.

Fear not, the people may be deluded for a moment, but cannot be corrupted.
