The Catholic Bishop of Liverpool (England) [Alexander Goss], in a recent address, delivered there, said:
"Think
you that the imperialism of Russia is more tyrannical, or that it
crushes more people than Abraham Lincoln, who is the representative of a
Liberal Government in the Republic across the ocean? No; there is no
tyranny more terrible than that which bears the banner of liberty — that
banner which crushes the liberty of others whilst it raises up itself,
which brings itself into fame; because it has trodden down almost
everything else that may be near it."
