notable phrase

Have these Democrats a morality of their own? Or have they none!
The general's conduct has been prudent and successful, and will terminate in the permanent tranquility of the people
do they really believe that lying is lawful for the public good and that political lyars have no port in the lake of sulphur and fire?
