5854. NEUTRALITY, Obligations of.—
Where [treaties] are silent, the general
principles of the law of nations must give the
rule [of neutral obligation]. I mean the principles
of that law as they have been liberalized in
latter times by the refinement of manners and
morals, and evidenced by the declarations, stipulations,
and practice of every civilized nation.—
To Thomas Pinckney. Washington ed. iii, 551.
