Side 14 - They will determine, too, what punishment shall be inflicted for every crime. In our States generally, we punish murder only by death, and all other crimes by solitary confinement in a prison. But when you shall have adopted laws, who are to execute them? Perhaps it may be best to permit every town, and the settlers in its neighborhood attached to it, to select some of their best men, by a majority of its voters, to be judges in all differences, and to execute the law according to their own judgment.
Side 14 - I sincerely wish you may succeed in your laudable endeavors to save the remnant of your nation, by adopting industrious occupations and a government of regular law. In this you may always rely on the counsel and assistance of the United States.1" But of what avail have been the determination of Washington and the earnest desire of Jefferson?

Side 15 - Lords now uproot the tallest pine tree and into the cavity thereby made we cast all weapons of war. Into the depths of the earth, down into the deep underearth currents of water flowing into unknown regions, we cast all weapons of strife. We bury them from sight forever and plant again the tree.

Side 12 - The one you propose appears moderate, reasonable and well defined ; we are willing to recognize those on each side of that line as distinct societies, and if our aid shall be necessary to mark it more plainly than nature has done, you shall have it. I think with you that on this reduced scale, it will be more easy for you to introduce the regular administration of laws. In proceeding to the establishment of laws, you wish to adopt them from ours, and such only for the present as suit your present...
Side 12 - I have maturely considered the speeches you have delivered me, and will now give you answers to the several matters they contain. You inform me of your anxious desires to engage in the industrious pursuits of agriculture and civilized life. That finding it impracticable to induce the nation at large to join in this, you wish a line of separation to be established between the upper and lower towns, so as to include all the waters of the...
Side 13 - ... votes. The fool has as great a right to express his opinion by vote as the wise, because he is equally free, and equally master of himself. But as it would be inconvenient for all your men to meet in one place, would it not be better for every town to do as we do, that is to say, choose by the vote of the majority of the town and of the country people nearer to that than to any other town, one, two, three, or more, according to the size of the town, of those whom each voter thinks the wisest...
Side 8 - ... miles from a town. The girl who has learned only the rudiments of reading, writing and ciphering, but knows also how to make and mend her clothing, to wash and iron, and to cook her husband's dinner will be worth vastly more as mistress of a log cabin than one who has given years of study to the ornamental branches alone.
Side 7 - ... 9. Group conferences of the administrative staff and of the medical staff to review regularly and thoroughly their respective activities in order to keep the service and the scientific work on the highest plane of efficiency.
