 Translating statement from Daniel Webster, Mir. Marshall said : The patriotism of war is not com parable to the patriotism of peace Men should not govern themselves as not to create wrath and dissension in the community. I do not object tc the stranger knocking at our door but I do object to their knocking after they get in. do not like many of the laws of our country, but they are here and that is sufficient fol me. Ours Is a government of law and not of passion and ill-will- Ge about in an orderly way to discuss the laws and work to have then | changed. but while they are here, obey them.
