But what direction shall be given to this force, in order to produce the most beneficial effects? In the general tran quillity Of nations, what avenues will open by which to exert this force beyond the circle of our own immediate territories, and different from the mere extension Of trade and commerce? There is no necessity of letting entirely drop the sword, and though our neighbours are no longer our foes, there may be distant enemies to tame and terri tories to acquire.
