Lafayette In New England In 1825- Portland ME June 25

Lafayette In New England In 1825- Portland ME June 25

Thirty years ago the tyrants of Europe held you in chains in the dungeon of Olmütz; but now you hear the congratulations and receive the hearty thanks of ten millions of freemen. May the imitation of your regard to the sovereignty of the people and the authority of law, as well as of your firmness and zeal, by the youth of different nations, render your history the history of Liberty, and effect this change, that in a few years the Rights of Man, now in many countries fettered, shall hear the shouts of the whole world.

Lafayette In New England – Kennebunk ME June 24

But, General, your adopted Country trembles to trust you in the power of tyrants; would be to Heaven you could tarry among us till the summons comes to call you to the realms of celestial Liberty! God grant that your life may be prolonged to the very verge of sublunary enjoymnent; that those who survive may deposit your remains in the same soil with Washington, Greene, Lincoln, Knox, and the whole radiant galaxy of your compatriots, whose sacred memory, like your own can never perish. This, sir, is the united sentiment of every one who so cordially echoes the universal paen, “Welcome, Lafayette.”

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.
