The Senator from Wisconsin cannot frighten me by exclaiming, My country, right or wrong. In one sense I say so too. My country; and my country is the great American Republic. My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.
Remarks in Senate, 29 Feb. 1872 See Decatur 1; Chesterton 3; Twain 114
