3030. FLETCHER OF SALTOUN, Principles of.—
The political principles of that
patriot were worthy of the purest periods of
the British constitution; They are those which
were in vigor at the epoch of the American
emigration. Our ancestors brought them
here, and they needed little strengthening to
make us what we are. But in the weakened
condition of English whigism at this day, it
requires more firmness to publish and advocate
them than it then did to act on them.
This merit is peculiarly your Lordships; and
no one honors it more than myself.—
To Earl of Buchan. Washington ed. iv, 493.
