" All Honor to Jefferson- to the man, who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for a national independance by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that today, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling block to the very harbingers of a re-appearing tyranny and oppression."
