601. ASYLUM, America as an.—[continued].
I think it fortunate for
the United States to have become the asylum
for so many virtuous patriots of different denominations;
but their circumstances, with
which you were so well acquainted before, enabled
them to be but a bare asylum, and to
offer nothing for them but an entire freedom
to use their own means and faculties as they
please.—
To M. de Meunier.
