Patriotism Is As Much A Virtue As Justice, And Is As Necessary For The Support Of Societies As Natural Affection Is For The Support Of Families. The Amor Patriae Love Of Ones Country Is Both A Moral Duty And A Religious Duty. It Comprehends Not Only The Love Of Our Neighbors But Of Millions Of Our Fellow Creatures, Not Only Of The Present But Of Future Generations. This Virtue We Find Constitutes A Part Of The First Characters Of History.
