170 ページ - My friends, a more important question has never yet been put to the sons of men. Who can answer it? who dare answer it, but with his life in his hand ; a ready and willing victim to truth, and to the emancipation of the world from its long bondage of disunion, error, crime and misery ? Behold that victim ! On this day — in this hour — even now — shall those bonds be burst asunder, never more to reunite while the world shall last.
