“The only encouragements we hold out to strangers are a good
climate, fertile soil, wholesome air and water, plenty of provisions,
good pay for labor, kind neighbors, good laws, a free government, and
a hearty welcome. The rest depends on a man’s own industry and
virtue.”
“If a European has previously resolved to go to the western
country near the Allegheny or Ohio rivers,…a few day journey will
bring him to Cumberland…from whence the public road begun by the
United States, crosses the mountains…”
“You will, however, observe that the privileges of citizenship is
not granted without proper precautions; to secure that, while the
worthy are admitted, the unworthy should, if practicable, be rejected.
You will from hence deduce the importance of good moral habits, even
to the acquisition of political rights.”

“Advice to Emigrants to America,” 1817

Alexander Hamilton
Constitutionality of the Bank of the United States (1791)
“It is not denied that there are implied as well as express
powers, and that the former are as effectually delegated as
the latter.”
“It is conceded that implied powers are to be considered as
delegated equally with express ones. Then it follows, that as
a power of erecting a corporation [such as a bank] may as
well be implied as any other thing, it may as well be
employed as an instrument or means of carrying into
execution any of the specified powers…But one may be
erected in relation to the trade with foreign countries, or to
the trade between the States…because it is the province of
the federal government to regulate those objects, and
because it is incident to a general sovereign or legislative
power to regulate a thing, to employ all the means which
relate to its regulation to the best and greatest advantage.”
