Elijah Parish Lovejoy Publish Quotations

I know that I have the right freely to speak and publish my sentiments, subject only to the laws of the land for the abuse of that right.

As long as I am an American citizen, and as long as American blood runs in these veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, and to publish whatever I please on any subject, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same.
