Tory Government

Famous quotes containing the words tory and/or government:

    The Tory camp is now in sight,
    And there he cowers within his den;
    He hears our shouts, he dreads the fight,
    He fears, and flies from Marion’s men.
    William Gilmore Simms (1806–1872)

    The tide which, after our former relaxed government, took a violent course towards the opposite extreme, and seemed ready to hang every thing round with the tassils and baubles of monarchy, is now getting back as we hope to a just mean, a government of laws addressed to the reason of the people, and not to their weaknesses.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
