>"It is much to be lamented, that each State, long ere this, has not hunted them down, as pests to society, and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America. I would to God, that some one of the most atrocious in each State, was hung upon a gallows, five times as high as the one prepared for Haman. No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the man who can build his greatness upon his country’s ruin."
