"What is the difference, whether the right of the people to govern themselves, shall be put down by the ballots of mercenary voters, or the bullets of mercenary soldiers? And are the men who would hire a foreign voter to aid them in conquering the people by his vote, too good to hire a foreign soldier to conquer them by his arms. A mayor of Baltimore elected by voters from Philadelphia, govern by the same right, and no other, as the Bourbons, imposed on France by Russian bayonets."
