[H] “Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness; the people in whose heart is my law: fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation from generation to generation.” Isaiah 51: 7, 8. [I] “Ye that love the Lord, hate evil.” Ps. 97: 10. “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil.” Prov. 8: 13. [J] “Who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a man? * * * And forgettest the Lord thy Maker, * * * and hast feared continually every day, because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?” Isaiah 51: 12, 13, 14. [K] “We ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts 5: 29. [L] “The captive exile hasteth that he may be loosed,” etc. Isaiah 51: 15. [M] Haynau. [N] Editor of the Glasgow Courier. Poor Motherwell! I have it from a mutual friend that he sympathized _with_ the cause of Freedom, while paid to write against it. [O] Daniel Webster’s oration, at the laying the corner-stone of Bunker Hill Monument, 17 June 1825. [P] Daniel Webster’s speech in the Senate of the U. S. 7 March 1850. [Q] Daniel Webster’s speech at the Capron Springs, Virginia, 1851. [R] It is vain to say that rich governments cannot, and do not, offer effective temptations to clever and eloquent men, whose religious views differ from the national form, to induce them to adopt the latter. [S] Congress, the legislative department, and, of course, the judicial, its interpreter, were intended to be founded on such undoubted principles of liberty, that it would be difficult for them to use their everywhere acknowledged rights, and perform their everywhere expected duties, without first putting aside the strongest impediment to their exercise, slavery. In our judgment this has been done. There is no truth in public law more certain than that protection and allegiance are reciprocal. They must exist together or not at all. The power of the United States is adequate for the protection of all within her limits, and from all within them she expects allegiance. If she is informed in any way to be relied on, that any person is restrained of his rights under the constitution of the United States, it is her duty to see him set at liberty, if he be confined, and see that he is redressed. It is in vain for Congress to excuse itself from acting, by saying that it is a _State_ concern. Can a citizen of the _United States_, if he be a citizen, be tortured or tormented by a _State_, when there is no pretence that he has violated the law of either?
