George Washington

George Washington
History and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.

The tumultuous populace of large cities are ever to be dreaded. Their indiscriminate violence prostrates for the time all public authority, and its consequences are sometimes extensive and terrible.
