6489. PEACE, Desire for.—[continued].
The bravery exhibited
by our citizens on that element [the ocean]
will, I trust, be a testimony to the world that
it is not the want of that virtue which makes
us seek their peace, but a conscientious desire
to direct the energies of our nation to the
multiplication of the human race, and not to
its destruction.—
First Annual Message. Washington ed. viii, 8.
Ford ed., viii, 118.
(1801)
