Read the excerpts below: The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general
conflagration through the other States. A religious sect may degenerate into a political faction in a part of the Confederacy; but the
variety of sects dispersed over the entire face of it must secure the national councils against any danger from that source. A rage for
paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt
to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it in the same proportion as such a malady is more likely to
taint a particular county or district, than an entire State.
