THE EQUAL RIGHTS OF ALL;

The Great Guarantee and Present Necessity,

For the Sake of Security, and to Maintain a Republican Government,

SPEECH

OF

HON. CHARLES. SUMNER,

OF MASSACHUSETTS,

IN THE UNITED PIATES SENATE, FEBRUARY 6 AND 7, 1866.

Taxation without representation is Tyranny.-The Revolutionary Fathere.
- The laws, the rights,
The generous plan of power delivered down
From age to age, by our renowned forefathers
So dearly bought, the price of so much blood,
Oh! let it never perish in our hands.-Addison's Cato.

But, if any among you think that Philip will maintain his power by having occupied forts and havens
and the like, this is amistake. Impossible is it-impossible, Athenians-to acquire a solid power by injustice
and perjury and falsehood. Such things last for once, or for a short period: may be, they blossom fairly
with hope; but in time they are discovered and drop away. As a house, a ship, or the like, ought to have
the lower part firmest. so in human conduct, I ween, the principle and foundation should be just and
true.-Demosthenes, 2d Olynthiac.

WASHING T ON:
PRINTED AT THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE OFFICE.
1866.
