Madison did, however, in a 1798 letter to Thomas Jefferson, write something of a similar nature.
"Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions agst. danger real or pretended from abroad."
-- James Madison, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson (May 13, 1798)
That letter can be found here.
