G. W. Curtis - on W. Rights

The cause itself is only Democ-
racy carried a little farther than
ever before. But the logic is
inevitable - and if the experiment
of popular government does not
fail altogether, upon this continent
it will gradually reach that devel-
opment among many others—
Liberty only can cure the short-
comings of liberty - A Nation
goes backward, if it is not going
forward. A boy in a boat at
sea, might as well hope to re
main idly unaffected by the cur-
rents & the winds as a notion
to escape the flux & reflux of
the tides of eternal principles
