What a noble sentence is this of Alexander Hamilton’s. It is from a volume of his writings just published:
‘The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for in any old parchments and inusty (?) records . They are written as with sunbeam in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the Divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.’
(Liberator, Aug 19, 1842, pg 4)
