THERE is the assemblage of all the virtues in a true politician. He is impartial with regard to parties, and his connections with foreign powers — He respects religion and those who administer its ordinances — He is not moved by violent attachment or aversion to individuals — He treats none with contempt; for they who make no great show in the eyes of the public, may have strong connections with the essential interests of the State — He is not bigotted to his own opinions. — In one word, no man can be thorough politician, but an able, and good-man.
