I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world it enables the enemies of free institutions to taunt us as hypocrites; causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity; is at war with the Vital principles of civic liberty; contrary to the Declaration of Independence; and maintains that there is no right principle of action but self-interest.
