150. ADMINISTRATION, Unmeddling.—

The quiet track into which we are
endeavoring to get, neither meddling with
the affairs of other nations, nor with those
of our fellow citizens, but letting them go
on in their own way, will show itself in the
statement of our affairs to Congress.—
To Dr. Joseph Priestley. Ford ed., viii, 180.
(W. Dec. 1802)
