7328. REPUBLICANISM ( Governmental ), Extension of.—

It is hoped that by
a due poise and partition of powers between
the General and particular governments, we
have found the secret of extending the
benign blessings of republicanism over still
greater tracts of country than we possess,
and that a subdivision may be avoided for
ages, if not for ever.—
To James Sullivan. Ford ed., v, 369.
(Pa., 1791)
