8705. UNITED STATES, Freedom from turmoil.—

How happy is it for us that we
are beyond the reach of those storms which
are eternally desolating Europe. We have
indeed a neighbor with whom misunderstandings
are possible; but they must be the
effect of interests ill calculated. Nothing is
more demonstrable than is the unity of their
and our interest for ages to come.—
To William Carmichael. Ford ed., v, 74.
(P. 1789)
