RIGHTS OF SOVEREIGNTY AND RIGHTS
TWO SOURCES OF POWER AGAINST THE REBELLION.
SPEECH IN THE SENATE, ON HIS BILL FOR THE CONFISCATION OF PROPERTY AND THE LIBERATION OF SLAVES BELONGING TO REBELS, MAY 19, 1862.
Wherefore he deserves to be punished, not only as an enemy, but also as a traitor, both to you and to us. And indeed treason is as much worse than war as it is harder to guard against what is secret than what is open, and as much more hateful, as with enemies men make treaties again, and put faith in them, but with one who is discovered to be a traitor nobody ever enters into covenant, or trusts him for the future. - XENOPHON, Hellenica, Book II. ch. 3, § 29.
