As colonizers of a new world they were confident in their own strength. When once the shackles of the British mercantile system were shaken off, they did not doubt their ability to compete for the markets of the world.

On Mr. Jefferson's left sat Chief Justice John Marshall, a "tall, lax, lounging Virgin...
