2946. FEDERALISM, Dead.—

Excepting
in the north-eastern and your south-western
corner of the Union, monarchism, which has
been so falsely miscalled federalism, is dead
and buried, and no dav of resurrection will
ever dawn upon it. It has retired to the two
extreme and opposite angles of our land,
whence it will have ultimately and shortly to
take its final flight.—
To Governor Claiborne. Washington ed. iv, 488.
(W. 1803)
