304. ALLIANCE, Divorce from all.—[further continued] .

It ought to be the very
first object of our pursuits to have nothing to
do with the European interests and politics.

or agriculturists, swallowed into one government
or divided into a thousand, we have
nothing to fear from them in any form.
—To George Logan. Ford ed., viii, 23.
(W. March. 1801)
