Summary
We are not and we cannot be a ‘loyal’ people as that term is understood at the North, but better, far better, than all the loyalties that ever were spawned, we are a Constitution-loving and law-abiding people … Government has no right to prey into the heart. Political attachment is a matter of the purest supererogation.
