To the States.

Part of the cluster INSCRIPTIONS.

TO THE STATES.

TO the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist  
  much, obey little, Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved, Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever after- 
 ward resumes its liberty.
