    Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy?

    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    This spirit of mob-law is becoming as great an evil as a servile war.
