When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man's moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it?

Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?
