We have heard great deal said about
the moral courage and bravery of Loveioy
about his boldness in frightening South

contend that getting up in Congress and
making bold, vindictive speech is no eyi
dence of true courage. There is now an
opportunity for man not only to establish
his bravery, but his patriotism also. There

to be, let him shoulder his musket aud Join
