John Harrison Wilson, The life of Charles Henry Dana, Chapter 8: declaration of principles (search)
n, however, it is gravely proposed as Americans, that those who have come hither from Europe to find a home blest with liberty and plenty shall be permanently excluded from political rights here, including the right to be chosen whenever a majority shall see fit to choose them, we resist the demand as eminently and profoundly un-American, as well as anti-Republican.

The campaign it was conducting for free Kansas was mainly his, and this fact also entitles him to the principal share of the praise
