Partisan Politics, 1800 edition

|

“Can serious and reflecting men look about them and doubt that, if (Thomas) Jefferson is elected and the Jacobins get into authority, those morals which protect our lives from the knife of the assassin, which guard the chastity of our wives and daughters from seduction and violence, defend our property from plunder and devastation and shield our religion from contempt and profanation, will not be trampled upon?” ~ Timothy Dwight, president of Yale University, 1800.

Aren’t you glad that nasty partisan politics is a new thing in America?
