Author Description

Excerpt from Letter From John A. Dix to the War Democracy of Wisconsin In a great national struggle for existence, what is the duty of all good citizens? Manifestly, to sustain the government with all their strength. If it is weak, we should rally around it and try to make it strong. If it is guilty of errors of con duct, we should not, for that reason, rush into an opposition which may disqualify it for the great end it is laboring to accomplish; but we should still sustain it, and trust for their correction to the recurrence of the popular ordeal, through which every administration is, after a brief period, to pass.
