Excerpt from Thoughts Upon the Foreign Policy of the United-States, From 1784 to the Inauguration of Franklin Pierce: Statistics of Spain, of the Island of Cuba, &C

Had Washington been a man capable of approving or adopting unfair means of attaining an end, he would have allowed Genet and de la Chaise to pursue their course, for these men had not the pecuniary resources, necessary to the maintenance of a Republic in Louisiana - a province which had no revenues, and could not create any for its lands were almost without value, the culture of the sugar cane was yet unknown there, and but little cotton was raised. Hence forward, the annexation of Louisiana to the United States be came certain; but such calculations could not enter into the mind of the greatest citizen of modern times. The immortal Washington must be regarded as a new Messiah, preaching the rights of man, morality and honesty.

Washington retired from the presidency of the United States in 1796: he might have been elected a third time, but he de sired to establish the principle, that no citizen should occupy the presidential chair for more than eight years. His exam ple has always been 'respected by his successors in office.
