6432. PARTIES, Natural division.—[further continued].

The division of whig and
tory, or, according to our denominations, of
republican and federal, is the most salutary of
all divisions, and ought, therefore, to be
fostered, instead of being amalgamated; for,
take away this, and some more dangerous principle
of division will take its place.—
To William Short. Washington ed. vii, 392. Ford ed., x, 335.
