>   "So, likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another
produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating
the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common
interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays
the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter . . .
It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to
others . . .

constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence
is one of the most baneful foes of republican government . . . Excessive
partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause
those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil
and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may
resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and
odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the
people to surrender their interests . . .

against particular nations and passionate attachments for others should be
excluded, and that in place of them just and amicable feelings toward all
should be cultivated. The nation which indulges toward another an habitual
hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to
its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it
astray from its duty and its interest."
