Public influence is the real government of the world.

It has a sound and rational circulating medium, a real and definite representative of wealth.

Liberty, then, is the SOVEREIGNTY OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

The disconnection of Church and State was a master stroke for freedom and harmony.

It has now become a very common sentiment, that there is some deep and radical wrong somewhere, and that legislators have proved themselves incapable of discovering, or, of remedying it.

The circulating medium being issued only by those who labor, they would suddenly become invested with all the wealth and all the power; and those who did not labor, be they ever so rich now, would as suddenly become poor and powerless.

Liberty, then, is the sovereignty of the individual, and never shall man know liberty until each and every individual is acknowledged to be the only legitimate sovereign of his or her person, time, and property, each living and acting at his own cost.
