8936. WAR, Unity in.—[continued].

If we are forced into
war [with France], we must give up political
differences of opinion, and unite as one man
to defend our country. But whether at the
close of such a war, we should be as free as
we are now, God knows.—
To Gen. Kosciusko. Washington ed. iv, 295.
(Pa., 1799)
