408. APPROBATION, Rewarded by.—[further continued].

If, in my retirement to
the humble station of a private citizen, I am
accompanied with the esteem and approbation
of my fellow citizens, trophies obtained by
the blood-stained steel, or the tattered flags
of the tented field, will never be envied.—
R. To A. Maryland Republicans. Washington ed. viii, 165.
