True, but history tells of dreadful stretches in human experience when wrong has been on the throne and right has been on the scaffold. Men Who have beeh altogether in the right have rotted by the thousand amid filth and vermin with^rats and serpents their only physical companions, save those who rotted t with them In the same chuse.
