"STAND BY THE COUNTRY. Ave. stand
by the country. A noble sentiment, always
the heart Of the patriot. But what
is standing by the country Is it to assert the
of the Executive and to require the
passive obedience of the people, Is the Pres
idcnt the Country! Are his measures never
10 be canvassad, except for approval Is the
freedom OF thought and speech limited To the |
applause ofhis acts, while the right TO condemn

Stand by the country, say we. Stand bv il |
IN glory and gloom. Stand by it whether the
President is right or wrong. When the Pres

when he is wrong, restrain him and thus stand
by the country. It is as much the duty OF
true patriotism to Oppose the President when
wrong as IT is to sustain the cause of the coun-
try when right. That is the truest test of true
patriotism. 1t requires no moral courage to
stand by the country when she is right but i,
is proof OF moral heroism to resist the Execu-
tive in doing wrong. Is not this the duty OF
a republican patriot The doctrine that we
must stand by the President, right or wrong.

The man made the promise, and took the

" You have violated your word, pay me for
