Rob them of a decent support, starve and freeze their wives and children, and plunder them of their good names. They are only clerks, and cannot resist.

Pelt them with stones, and pour furious broadsides into them from your Congressional three-deckers. And when they sink at last, as sink they must, retire to your honest couches, and thank God that you are so magnanimous, and merciful and just.
