1178. CENTRALIZATION, Opposition to.—
I fear an explosion in our State Legislature.
I wish they may restrain themselves
to a strong but temperate protestation.
Virginia is not at present in favor with her
co-States. An opposition headed by her
would determine all the anti-Missouri States
to take the contrary side. She had better lie
by, therefore, till the shoe shall pinch an eastern
State.—
To Nathaniel Macon. Washington ed. vii, 223.
