7346. REPUBLICANISM (Partisan), Preservation of.—

Whether the surrender of
our opponents, their reception into our camp,
their assumption of our name, and apparent
accession to our objects, may strengthen or
weaken the genuine principles of republicanism,
may be a good or an evil, is yet to be
seen.—
To William T. Barry. Washington ed. vii, 255.
(M. 1822)
