Every human government is bound to make its laws so far resemble His that they shall be uniform, certain, and unquestionable in their operation; and this it can do only by a timely show of power, and by an appeal to that authority which is of divine right, inasmuch as its office is to maintain that order which is the single attribute of the Infinite Reason that we can clearly apprehend and of which we have hourly example.
There are those of us who jubilantly burst into poetry, singing: "Here shall the press the people's rights maintain, Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain."
