Suppose then a conspiracy thus to destroy the Government. The Conspirators are enemies, but they are not rebels. The State they have placed themselves in with relation to the rulers and the rest of the community is a state of war. Being enemies, the cha care of self defence renders it necessary they should be treated as such. They must be opposed, and, if possible, by any means, disabled from giving effect to carrying their mischievous endeavours into effect. But, as in the case of external enemies, so in the case of these internal ones, such means of self-defence as are least mischievous to both parties taken together, are the only means suitable or justifiable.
As to hatred - hatred fixed on one fixed object, here there is no such thing.
