If there be any reality in the dangers which are supposed to encompass us, should we not animate the people, and adjure them to believe, as I do, that our resources are ample ; and that we can bring into the field a million of freemen, ready to...
Страница 53 - We must keep Bonaparte for some time longer at war as a state of probation.' Gracious God, sir ! is war a state of probation ? Is peace a rash system ? Is it dangerous for nations to live in amity with each other ? Is your vigilance, your policy, your common powers of observation to be extinguished by putting an end to the horrors of war ? Cannot this state of probation be as well undergone without adding to the catalogue of human sufferings ?
