3786. HONOR, Infraction.—
As an American,
I cannot help feeling a thorough mortification,
that our Congress should have permitted
an infraction of our public honor; as
a citizen of Virginia, I cannot help hoping
and confiding, that our Supreme Executive,
whose acts will be considered as the acts of
the Commonwealth, estimate that honor too
highly to make its infraction their own act. [237]
