Daniel Webster said, in his speech at
the Kossuth banquet in Washington, d.
c., January 7, 1852: 1--WE may talk OF it
as we please, but there is nothing that
satisfies the mind of man, in an cnlight-
cned age, unless he is governed by his
own country and the institutions OF his
own government No matter how easy
be the yoke of foreign power, no mat
ter how lightly it sits upon the shoul-
ders, if it is not imposed by the voice OF
his own nation and of his own country,
he will not, he cannot, and he means
not to be happy under its burden"
