The editor rails against Harmon's view that Americans should be neutral in word and deed, arguing such neutrality dishonors the republic and parrots oppressors. The piece recalls historic episodes—from Versailles to 1848—where public sentiment aided liberty movements and condemns any gag on sympathy for rebels.
