[77]
If you deal thus with public affairs
and cease to neglect them entirely, perhaps, yes, perhaps even now there may be
a change for the better. If, however, you sit here, confining your zeal to cries
of dissent or approval, and drawing back from every call to duty, I see not that
any words, divorced from the necessary action on your part, can ever save the
State.
