Liberty is order.Liberty is strength. Look round theworld, and admire, as you must, the instructivespectacle. You will see that liberty not only is powerand order, but that it is power and orderpredominant and invincible - that it derides allother sources of strength. And shall the preposterous imagination be fostered, that menbred in liberty - the first of humankind who assertedthe glorious distinction of formingfor themselves their social compact - can be condemnedto silence upon their rights? Is it to be conceivedthat men who have enjoyed, for such a lengthof days, the light and happiness of freedom, can be restrained, and shut up again in the gloomof ignorance and degradation? As well, sir, might you try, by a miserable dam, to shut uptheflowing of a rapid river! The rolling and impetuous tide would burst through everyimpediment that man mightthrow in its way; and the only consequence of the impotentattempt would be, that,having collected new forceby its temporary suspension, enforcingitself through new channels, it wouldspread devastation and ruin on every side. The progress ofliberty is like the progress of the stream. Kept within its bounds, it is sure to fertilize thecountry through which it runs; but no power can arrest itin its passage; and short sighted, aswell as wicked, must be the heart of the projector that would striveto divert its course.
