The traitor to Humanity is the traitor most accursed;
Man is more than Constitutions; better rot beneath the sod,

He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.
