"A well informed people, with arms in their hands, cannot be made slaves"

"The public schools of the city of Philadelphia now contain more than four thousand students. "Intelligence is the soul of liberty." A well informed people, with arms in their hands, cannot be made slaves, and will maintain the right to pursue their own happiness."--[NILES' REGISTER, JUNE 9, 1827. MISCELLANEOUS. Pg. 245]
