7339. REPUBLICANISM (Partisan), Fortifying.—

My great anxiety at present is,
to avail ourselves of our ascendency to establish
good principles and good practices: to
fortify republicanism behind as many barriers
as possible, that the outworks may give
time to rally and save the citadel, should
that be again in danger.—
To John Dickinson. Washington ed. iv, 424.
(W. 1801)
