FigkUng Despotism
Given a free press, we may
defy open or insidious enemies of
liberty. It instructs the public mind
and animates the spirit of patrio-
tism. Its loud voice suppresses
everything which would raise itself
against the public liberty, and its
blasting rebuke causes incipient
despotism to perish in the bud.—
Daniel Webster.
