7402. REPUBLICS, Size of.—[continued]

——. The extent [of the Republic] has saved us. While some parts were
laboring under the paroxysm of delusion,
others retained their senses, and time was
thus given to the affected parts to recover
their health. Your part of the Union [New
England] is longest recovering, because the
deceivers there wear a more imposing form;
but a little more time and they too will recover.—
To General Warren. Washington ed. iv, 376.
(W. 1801)
