Page 154 - We wage no war — we lift no arm — we fling no torch within The fire-damps of the quaking mine beneath your soil of sin ; We leave ye with your bondmen, to wrestle, while ye can, With the strong upward tendencies and God-like soul of man ! But for us and for our children, the vow which we have given For freedom and humanity, is registered in Heaven ; No slave-hunt in our borders — no pirate on our strand!

Page 155 - Ye cannot hem the hope of being free With parallels of latitude, with mountain-range or sea. Put golden padlocks on Truth's lips, be callous as ye will, From soul to soul, o'er all the world, leaps one electric thrill. Chain down your slaves with ignorance, ye cannot keep apart, With all your craft of tyranny, the human heart from heart : When first the Pilgrims landed on the Bay State's iron shore. The word went forth that slavery should one day be no more.
Page 448 - Traverse the whole continent of Europe — ransack all the libraries belonging to the jurisprudential systems of the several political states, — add the contents all together, — you would not be able to compose a collection of cases equal in variety, in amplitude, in clearness of statement, — in a word, in all points taken together, in instruct! veness — to that which may be seen to be afforded by the collection of English Reports of adjudged cases, on adding to them the abridgments and treatises,...
Page 240 - Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven ; which things the angels desire to look into.
Page 154 - We owe allegiance to the State; but deeper, truer, more, To the sympathies that God hath set within our spirit's core; Our country claims our fealty: we grant it so, but then, Before Man made us citizens, great Nature made us men.
