people, are not willing to let people
alone who want to be left alone; who
declare that they are capable of self
government. Why not give them a
chance and stand of and see what they
can dof Advise them il they want
advice. But when We undertake to
force our form OF government down
the threats of people ten thousand
miles away and against their will, II
seems to me to be the very thing we
