SAYS.

1.

I SAY whatever tastes sweet to the most perfect person, that is finally right.

2.

I SAY nourish a great intellect, a great brain;

If I have said anything to the contrary, I hereby retract it.

3.

I SAY man shall not hold property in man ;

I say the least developed person on earth is just as important and sacred to himself or herself, as the most developed person is to himself or her- self.

4.

I SAY where liberty draws not the blood out of slavery, there slavery draws the blood out of liberty,

I say the word of the good old cause in These States, and resound it hence over the world.
