James Madison

“ Not those who promote unnecessary accumulations of the debt of the Union, instead of the best means of discharging it as fast as possible, thereby increasing the causes of corruption in the Government, and the pretext for new taxes under its authority, the former undermining the confidence, the latter alienating the affection, of the people.
Not those who study, by arbitrary interpretations and insidious precedents, to pervert the limited Government of the Union into a government of unlimited discretion, contrary to the will and subversive of the authority of the people. ”

“ Not those who charge others with not being its friends, whilst their own conduct is wantonly multiplying its enemies.
Not those who favor measures which, by pampering the spirit of speculation within and without the Government, disgust the best friends of the Union. ”

“ Not those who avow or betray principles of monarchy and aristocracy, in opposition to the republican principles of the Union and the republican spirit of the people, or who espouse a system of measures more accommodated to the depraved examples of those hereditary forms than to the true genius of our own. ”
