Excerpt from A Letter to the Rev. Father Ryder on His Recent Pamphlet
A zealous army is defending a beleaguered fortress. There are various outworks, most essential to the safety of the citadel; and our commander has given us strict orders to defend them securely at whatever risk. Certain soldiers, however, have either not listened to his instruction or have misapprehended it; and we see them preparing to surrender these various external positions. We cry out to them in distress and amazement, that they are disobeying our com mander, and are doing our cause an irreparable mjury. And yet our feeling towards them is quite different in hind, from our feeling towards the enemy who is assaulting our stronghold itself. Nor need there be reason 'to doubt, that these eccentric and ill disciplined combatants are as zealous as we are for the security of the fortress; and would feel it to be their highest privilege, had they the opportunity of laying down their lives in its defence.
