Well worth the read, wasn't it.

George Washington -- 1st President of the United States: 1789 ‐ 1797
Seventh Annual Address to Congress
December 08, 1795

"It is a valuable ingredient in the general estimate of our welfare that the part of our country which was lately the scene of disorder and insurrection now enjoys the blessings of quiet and order. The misled have abandoned their errors, and pay the respect to our Constitution and laws which is due from good citizens to the public authorities of the society."

I wonder if this can happen now.
