"No danger is too appalling, no toil too excessive, no sacrifices too costly, where
humanity is to be benefited and the nation to be served."-LONDON TIMES.

"THE Constitution which at any time exists, until changed by an explicit and
authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all."-GEORGE
WASHINGTON.

JUSTICE is an attribute of the DEITY, and the foundation of all permanent
prosperity; it cannot be disregarded by nations, or individuals, without certain
retribution.
