George Washington actually said...

"No measure can be more desirable, whether viewed with an eye to its intrinsic importance or to the general sentiment and wish of the nation."

"It would be wise, however, by timely provisions to guard against those acts of our own citizens which might tend to disturb [peace]..."

"I do by these presents most earnestly admonish and exhort all persons whom it may concern to refrain and desist from all unlawful combinations and proceedings."

"All lawful ways and means will be strictly put in execution for bringing to justice the infractors thereof and securing obedience thereto."
