The cement of this union is in the heart blood of every American. I do not believe there is on earth a government established on so immovable a basis.

Most codes extend their definitions of treason to acts not really against one's country. They do not distinguish between acts against the government, and acts against the oppressions of the government. The latter are virtues, yet have furnished more victims to the executioner than the former. Real treasons are rare; oppressions frequent. The unsuccessful strugglers against tyranny have been the chief martyrs of treason laws in all countries.

We are now vibrating between too much and too little government, and the pendulum will rest finally in the middle.
