Since the creation of the world there has been no tyrant like Intemperance, and no slaves so cruelly treated as his.

I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.

Since the creation of the world there has been no tyrant like Intemperance, and no slaves so cruelly treated as his.

Let Southern oppressors tremble-let their secret abettors tremble-let their Northern apologists tremble-let all the enemies of the persecuted blacks tremble.

My crime is that I will not go with the multitude to do evil. My singularity is that when I say that freedom is of God and slavery is of the devil, I mean just what I say. My fanaticism is that I insist on the American people abolishing slavery, or ceasing to prate on the rights of man.

Slavery will not be overthrown without excitement, a most tremendous excitement.

Our country is the world-our countrymen are all mankind.
