Goes back a long time.

Editorial in the newspaper Aurora by Benjamin Franklin Bache on the retirement of George Washington from the Presidency.

"If ever a nation was debauched by a man...if ever a nation has suffered from the improper influance of a man...if ever a nation was deceived by a man...(it was) the American nation by George Washington...Let the history of the Federal Government instruct mankind that the mark of patriotism may be worn to conceal the foulest designs against the liberties of the people"

That quote from the Aurora Advertiser is one of my favorites. I've used it occasionally since I first read it in the microfilms of the Library of Congress, about 20 years ago. Thanks for posting it.
