6951. PRINCIPLE, Republican vs. Monarchical.—

The contests of that day
[1793-1800] were contests of principle, between
the advocates of republican and those
of kingly government, and had not the
former made the efforts they did, our government
would have been, even at this early
day (1818) a very different thing from what
the successful issue of those efforts have
made it.—
