3676. HARMONY, Restoration of.—

To
restore that harmony which our predecessors
so wickedly made it their object to break up,
to render us again one people, acting as one nation,
should be the object of every man really
a patriot. I am satisfied it can be done, and
I own that the day which should convince
me of the contrary would be the bitterest of
my life.—
To Thomas McKean. Ford ed., viii, 78.
(W. July. 1801)
