He sailed under the flag of the United States, held a commission from the United States, and attacked an enemy with whom the United States was at war.

Hence the failure is not in the principle, but in the lack of virtue on our part to apply it. The question now is, have we the wisdom and conscience, from the present upheavings of our political system to reconstruct a government on the one enduring basis which never yet has been tried Equal Rights to All?
The breath from our mouths, the steam from an engine, thrown out into cold air, become visible, and consist of water in the same state as in fog or cloud; but we do not apply those terms to these phenomena.
Under the influence of certain external conditions, elements of the body, which should have developed in due subordination to its general plan, set up for themselves and apply the nourishment which they receive to their own purposes.
And we do this for heathen writings; but the process is exactly the same and we continually apply it, also, for that very purpose with what is required to interpret the Word of God.
