liberty, as il is called, first; and injury or
evil is an after matter.
My limits will not permit me TO pursue
this idea any farther. But let me repeat
This principle, if adopted and praeissd up
on, would overture and destroy :Rfscivil In
situations, and political ones too the earth
for while would flow with blood and
men at last would hnd no resi- or safety but
by creeping into the dens Of the mountains,
md stunning one anortsr's sighf. If any
one wishes to see such 6lessed times, and 10
enjoy such blessed privileges as these, let
him contend for Jaoobinic liberty.
Stop, Sir don't throw down the paper
| am about to say something on 'fofher side
You wish by this dine 10 hear what liberty
is. l will tell you after enumeraling q
few particulars, in which it does nor consist.
Liberty is not the power TO stab whom we
please. 1t is not the power to injure, in
any way, whom We please. |; is not the
power to disturb society when We please.
Il IS not the power of gratifying our pas.
sions and inclinaiions as We please Ii is
not the power OF disposing even Of our time
and property, as wicked disposition may
| please. In short tits not the power of do
ing any thing contrary to the habliek good
But mark well--it is The hosyer Of doing

restraints OF salu,ary laws. This is ration

possession oil any thing worth having. Thi.
only will efec,ually promote the tu5Ael
good; word most scandalously abused
and which the yilrst drmagogues are oba
ged to have continually in their mouths
No man dares ayow, that be does not aim a
the publick good. He would be absndonea

Remember one distinction--remember

this distinction is, lsok at whalI have said
