You have been pleased to express your surprise that I, whom you consider in other respects Liberal and Progressive, should yet sympathize and act with the American Whig party, rather than its great antagonist. The time and place chosen for this expression precluded an immediate and circumstantial reply : you will excuse, therefore, the medium and method of my answer. I hope to be able to present to your mind, or at least to the minds of others less prejudiced against my conclusions, some considerations hitherto overlooked, or inadequately weighed and regarded. May I not fairly claim of you a patient and, if possible, a candid hearing ?

-Two grand and fruitful ideas attract and divide the political world. On the one hand Liberty, on the other Order, is the watchword of a mighty host, impatient of resistance and eager for universal dominion. Each has had its reign-nay, its reigns, of terror; and the butcheries of Catiline and Marius, of Marat and Robespierre, have been fully paralleled by those of Alva and Claverhouse, of Suwarrow and Haynau. An infinity of cruelty and crime has been perpetrated in the abused name of Order, and hardly less in that equally abused of Liberty. But neither of these suffices without the other. Each is indispensable to general contentment, prosperity, and happiness. No good is secure in the absence of either. If without Liberty human existence is bitter and irksome, without Order it is precarious and beset with constant perils. Few men will clear, and plant, and build, without a reasonable assurance that they shall likewise reap, and inhabit, and enjoy.
他还称汉密尔顿华盛顿建立了保守政党也认为辉格党是这保守精神的继承者把当时的民主党和法国雅各宾比较,还指责民主党过于倾向无政府和暴民统治和保守主义相差甚远,不认亲爹去认野爹逆子是这样发明历史的因为亲爹现在名声不好去认别人的爹

咱们左派不能既要又要，既要批斗老民主党是右翼反动分子黑五类，又要说当时在美国加入民主党的罗伯特欧文儿子是左翼，他不就是19世纪老民主党吗
