Why, sir, have I been so careful in bringing down with great
particularity these distinctions? Because in my judgment there are
certain logical consequences following from them as necessarily as

man here stand up and say that he is on the side of that foreign country
and not be an enemy to his country? BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BUTLER.
