Page 298 - The rich man's son inherits cares ? The bank may break, the factory burn, A breath may burst his bubble shares, And soft white hands could hardly earn A living that would serve his turn ; A heritage, it seems to me, One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
Page 428 - You have been told that we are seditious, impatient of government, and desirous of independency. Be assured that these are not facts, but calumnies. Permit us to be as free as yourselves, and we shall ever esteem a union with you, to be our greatest glory, and our greatest happiness...

Page 11 - The quiet grave-yard — some lie there — And cruel Ocean has his share ; We're not all here. We are all here ! Even they, the dead — though dead, so dear, Fond Memory, to her duty true, Brings back their faded forms to view.
Page 432 - Why may not illicit combinations, for purposes of violence, be formed as well by a majority of a State, especially a small State, as by a majority of a county or a district of the same State; and if the authority of the State ought in the latter case to protect the local magistracy, ought not the Federal authority, in the former, to support the State authority?
