"Though I would carefully avoid giving unnecessary offense, yet I am inclined to believe, that all those who espouse the doctrine of reconciliation, may be included within the following descriptions. Interested men, who are not to be trusted; Weak men, who cannot see; Prejudiced men, who will not see; and a certain set of Moderate men, who think better of the European world than it deserves; and this last class, by an ill judged deliberation, will be the cause of more calamities to the continent, than all the other three."
The man was a Prophet.
