Working transcription: the statement is altogether objectionable. Whosoever may be plaintiff in a case or whosoever defendant in any particular instance or example, the principle is still the same and a nation professing liberty and making a boast of transmitting it to the next generation and to heaven knows how many generations afterwards to the end of time depends/is dependent for its good name on mere words if it thus conducts itself. It must be remembered that there is a wide and broad distinction between nations claiming to be free and nations avowedly slavish and devoid of liberty. In the latter case the public charged with such errors is an object of pity. In the former case one’s equanimity is disturbed by the resentment with which the mind naturally receives all false pretenses and contempt is largely blinded/blended with animus/animosity and indignation/intention.
