Excerpt from Low Value Set Upon Human Life in the United States: A Discourse Delivered on Thanksgiving-Day, November 24th, 1853
Violences would occur, and summary crimes would meet with as summary a retribution. People would vindicate their own rights. Popular convocations would arrogate the supreme judicial power injuries would be redressed with rifles and bowie-knives and signal transgressions would be honored with the form of a legal trial, and the reality of an execution, after that inflexible Draconian code, entitled Lynch Law, which never tries but to convict, and never convicts but to burn or hang.
