Lafayette In Massachusetts In 1824 – September 2 Stow

Miss Abigail Soper, the daughter of Jacob Soper the blacksmith, presented him with a bouquet, and the General, in true French style, stooped and kissed her on both cheeks. It is said, that several years later, when this fact was mentioned in the presence of the Rev. Mr. Moulton, the latter quietly remarked, “As I remember Abigail Soper, she was a very ugly old woman, and it would have taken a hero of several wars to have kissed her on even one cheek.” Miss Soper was about 16, at the time of Lafayette’s visit.

Lafayette In Massachusetts In 1824 – September 2 Concord

You, Sir, now behold the spot on which the first forcible resistance was made to a system of measures calculated to deprive the whole people of these States of the privileges of freemen.  You approved this resistance.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
