Book excerpt: Excerpt from Party and Patriotism, or the Degeneracy of Politics Attention, the only question worth attending to for the moment, is how they are to regain self government. Nothing stands in the way of their emancipation except party badges, long since become meaningless, superstitious sub servience to a leader who has gone over to the enemy, miserable competitions for place, and the personal jealousies which long indulgence in partisan squabbling has engendered. If the sword now hanging over this country should fall, the'disaster will be due not to Mr. Parnell or Mr. Gladstone, for both together would be powerless against a single wave of genuine patriotism, but to the wretched vices of our own.
