4821. LOUISIANA, Federalist opposition.—[further continued].

Some inflexible federalists
have still ventured to brave the public
opinion. It will fix their character with the
world and with posterity, who, not descending
to the other points of difference between
us, will judge them by this fact, so palpable
as to speak for itself in all times and places.—
To Dupont de Nemours. Washington ed. iv, 508.
(W. 1803)
