How can men be made to be honest? When our country is endangered by either foreign or domestic foe. men are willing to shoulder u musket to defend the flag: at least some of them |are.

He is shifting burdens he should justly govermental responsibility, to come forward and do their duty as honorable citizens? How can we bear upon the shoulders of his neightars.
