" * It was certain that the Declaration of Independence would involve an ap- peal to the nations of Europe for countenance and aid. It was not only a challenge to Great Britain, but an assertion by the colonies of their right to an independent place among the world's powers, and an appeal to the powers to recognize the justice of their claim. A new field was there- fore opened for the energies of Con- gress beside the contest of arms in which the colonies had engaged with the mother country, an...d a new rela- tion was to be sustained toward the governments of Europe. Among the members of Congress there were two views regarding foreign intercourse. One was that no minister should be sent to foreign courts until assurances were given by the latter that our min- isters would be well received; and the other, that for attaining independence we should seek to establish good rela- tions, if not alliances, with the nations unfriendly to England. Franklin had said " A virgin state should preserve a virgin character, and not go abroad suitor ing for alliances ; but wait with decent dignity for the application of others.
