opposed the King because of his subserviency to the Russians.

"But when the King later declared himself for the patriotic

party... it is no wonder that our Maciek took sides with the

crown, the power of which then needed strengthening. He supported

most important direction, that of the economic welfare of the

country. After the King's contemptible desertion to the camp of

the Confederates of Targowica, all noble and patriotic men in

Poland had of course to oppose him. Thus the King, and not

Maciek, was the real Cock-on-the-Steeple, and our man of Dobrzyn

was really always on the side of those who fought for 'the good

of the country.' "-Lipiner.]
