the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson
in the Declaration of Independence and
sanctioned by the Consultation, which make
ours the land of liberty and the asylum Of
the oppressed Of every nation, have ever
been cardinal principles in the Democratic
faith; and every attempts to abridge the priv
ilege of becoming citizens and the owners
Of soil among US, ought to be resisted with
the same spirit which swept the alien and
sedition laws from our statute books"
