2554. EMBARGO, Fair trial of.—
My
principle is that the convenience of our citizens
shall yield reasonably, and their taste greatly
to the importance of giving the present experiment
so fair a trial that on future occasions
our legislators may know with certainty
how far they may count on it as an engine for
national purposes.—
To Albert Gallatin. Washington ed. v, 309.
