6433. PARTIES, Opposite.—

In every
free and deliberating society, there must, from
the nature of man, be opposite parties, and
violent dissensions and discords; and one of
these, for the most part, must prevail over the
other for a longer or shorter time.—
To John Taylor. Washington ed. iv, 246. Ford ed., vii, 264.
