38 That France affbrded assistance to the United States, in our revolutionary war, exclusively for her own in- terest, had long ago been manifested ; and it seems impossible that with Mr. Jefferson it should ever have been a subject of doubt. But the People of the United States having unwittingly entertained and steadily cherished the contrary opinion, their prejudice was too strong to yield even to the forc6 of moral demonstra- tion. And the leaders of the opponents of the federal administrati...on seized on this honest prejudice in fa- vour of France, to obtain popularity ; while by every means they excited and promoted opposite sentiments towards Great-Britain, which the resentful passions en- gendered in the revolutionary war rendered it easj- to propagate among the people. These prejudices, dili- gently cultivated, were among the chief means by whioii Mr. Jefferson and his partisans acquired a pre- dominance ; and they may now safely abandon the scaffolding by which they rose to power.
