insist that the true patriot seeks no personal ends in acts of
patriotism. All this is true, but, Mr. Speaker, men are but men
everywhere, and you ought not to expect of those whom you daily call
by opprobrious epithets, whom you daily remind of their political

in the government you have created, to be very earnest to cooperate
with you in the work of establishing and fortifying the government set
up in hostility to the whole tone of their prejudices, their
connections,
