The Defiant One.

"...let us come out into the light of day; let us enjoy the fresh air of liberty and Union; let us cherish those hopes which belong to us; let us devote ourselves to those great objects that are fit for our consideration and our action...Never did there devolve, on any generation of men, higher trusts than now devolve upon us for the preservation of the Constitution, and the harmony and peace for all who are destined to live under it."

4th.  That those pimps and parasites who dared to advise their master to such detestable measures, be held in utter abhorrence by us and every American, and their names loaded with the curses of all succeeding generations.

5th.  That we scorn the chains of slavery; we despise every attempt to rivet them upon us; we are the sons of freedom, and resolved, that till time shall be no more, that God-like virtue shall blazon our hemisphere.
