The Orpheus C. Kerr Papers, Series 3

by R. H. Newell

Whereas, Freedom is the normal condition of all mankind: therefore, be it

Resolved, That we will vote for no man who is not in favor of Universal Liberty, without respect to color.

Passed, unanimously.

Politics, my boy, are, in themselves, a distinct system of life and death; and when we say that a man is politically dead, we mean that even his en-graving is forgotten; and that the brick which he carries in his hat is a species of head-stone.

Yours, post obit,

Orpheus C. Kerr.
