Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus; and trial by juries impartially selected, - these principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us

Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.

I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.

To preserve the freedom of the human mind then and freedom of the press, every spirit should be ready to devote itself to martyrdom; for as long as we may think as we will, and speak as we think, the condition of man will proceed in improvement
