4832. LOUISIANA, Government for.—[further continued] .
Although it is acknowledged
that our new fellow citizens are as yet
as incapable of self-government as children,
yet some [in Congress] cannot bring themselves
to suspend its principles for a single
moment. The temporary or territorial government
of that country, therefore, will encounter
great difficulty [in Congress].—
To De Witt Clinton.
