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
without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions
to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly
to injure the nation making the concessions by unnecessarily parting with
what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill will, and a
disposition to retaliate in the parties from whom equal privileges are
withheld . . .

believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be
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.

antipathies 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."
