8716. UNITED STATES, Prosperity.—
When you witnessed our first struggles in
the War of Independence, you little calculated,
more than we did, on the rapid growth
and prosperity of this country; on the practical
demonstration it was about to exhibit,
of the happy truth that man is capable of
self-government, and only rendered otherwise
by the moral degradation designedly superinduced
on him by the wicked acts of his
tyrants.—
To M. de Marbois. Washington ed. vii, 77.
