2 THE REPUBLIC. [1797.

the blandishments of Jeffersonfollowing

andsoliciting

him; jealous of the one, contemning the other. Hatred

of England dislike to France aversion to the financial

system, because it was Hamilton s, and had succeeded;

apprehension of change, lest it should fail all were pres

ent. Thus acted upon by opposing passions and opposite

forces, he stood, with the power of the nation in his

hands, paralyzed by his own incertitudes."I

am the

President of three votesonly"

* was his ever mortifying,

ever returning reflection.

The Cabinet, instead of a support, was a restraint

upon him. He felt it was not his, but the Cabinet of

Washington." These were but

puppets,"he wrote to

Jefferson," danced upon the wires of two jugglers behind

the scenes, and these jugglers were Hamilton and Wash

ington. How you stare at the name of Washington!"!

This Cabinet is seen, though not seeking war, yet reluc

tant to further negotiation, when all the interests of the

country demanded peace, could peace be maintained

without a sacrifice of national honor. Thus, when every

consideration required prompt decision and manly action,

nothing was decided and nothing done.

In this state of mind, AMES found Adams the morning

after his inauguration. Retiring from public life, in sink

ing health, he paid a parting visit to the President. In

this interview, he suggested to him the appointment of a

commission to France, of which he named George Cabot

as one.

Immediatelyafter, Adams

"sought"an inter

declared,"

Jefferson would not go.* * *

We shall never

be respected in Europe while we confound ranks in this

manner. If we wish not to be degraded in the eyes

of foreigners, we should not degrade ourselves. What

would have been thought in Europe, if the King of France

had sent Monsieur, his eldest brother, as an envoy ?

What, of the king of England, if he had sent the Prince

of Wales ? Mr. Jefferson, is in essence, in the same situ

ation. He is the first prince of the country, and the heir-

apparent to the sovereign authority, quoad hoc. His con

sideration in France is nothing. They consider nobody

but themselves. * * * To a Frenchman, the most im

portant man in the world is himself and the most im

portant nation is France."

Time decides for the irresolute. The event, which

the Democratic press had predicted, occurred.

In the infancy of their power the Directory of France

clothed their energy with an affected moderation. Whilst

stimulating by every incentive the military ardor of the

French nation, and extending their wide conquests, they

professeda desire of

peace. Thus, bycontrast with the

fierceness of their predecessors, they won the confidence of

those of their subjects, who were weary of war, and in

fused a fatal weakness into the counsels of their enemies.

The great career of victory continued. The smaller

powers along the Rhine had, one by one, succumbed,

trembling before the massive armies, whose approach

spread consternation throughout farther Germany. TheMediterranean States of Italy had ceased to exist. In

stead of a well-compacted confederacy, which would pro

mote the common welfare of its members, but might

resist aggression, small defenceless associations were

formed, having nothing in common but the latinized

names, under which they were aggregated, and their

common dependence uponFrance. Four

powerfular

mies, drawn in succession from the hereditary dominions

of Austria, she had exterminated;a fifth only remained

to be destroyed, and her sway would extend unresisted

from the Alps to the Adriatic.

With her power thus established, no motives for dis

simulation were supposed to exist. Policy gave place to

pride ; proposals of peace were the precursors to insult.

The mask of republican moderation was thrown aside,

and the Directory, from beneath their iron helms, frowned

menace and destruction.

Either alarmed by their successes for the fate of Aus

tria, or yielding to the importunity of the opposition, the

British ministry early in the preceding year made an un

successful overture for a negotiation, through the embassy

to Switzerland. It was met by an evasive and haughty

reply which assumed, that the constitution of France

was paramount to all the rights and interests of other

sovereigns. Overtures were, nevertheless, renewed

through other channels, until, at last, the Directory felt

compelled to appear to listen to them, and a mission to

Paris was instituted. After much evasion and great de

lay, the principle of mutual compensation was admitted

as the basis of a negotiation. But, the moment after,

without any proposal of conditions on their part,the Di

rectory required England to deliver her final terms with

in twenty-four hours. To this positive demand, the Brit

ish envoy replied, declaring his readiness to enter into a

discussion of their mutual claims. He was answered by

a peremptory note of the same day, that he must depart

from Paris within forty-eight hours. Twelve ambassa

dors had been previously dismissed.

The order was given on the nineteenth of December.

On the fifth of that month General Pinckney arrived at

Paris. Three days before, the minister for foreign affairs

apprised Monroe, that as Pinckney s arrival was at hand,

if it had not taken place, he must inform him, that the for

malities to be observed, were, that the minister recalled

and his successor should send him a copy of their letters

of credence and recall. Pinckney, deeming it more re

spectful, proposed to present them in person. A day was

appointed, the letters were presented, and cards of hospi

tality*requested and promised. Two days after, a let

ter was addressed to Monroe, in which the minister of

foreign affairs stated, that he had been charged by the

Directory to notify him, "that it will not acknowledge or

receive another minister plenipotentiary from the United

States, until after the redress of the grievances demanded

of the American government, and which the French Re

public has a right to expect from it !

"

General Pinckney waited until the next day, under

the expectation of receiving a communication, when he

addressed a letter, expressing his regret at the determina

tion of the Directory; and that he was not permitted (in

the terms of his letter ofcredence)

to endeavor "

to efface

unfavorable impressions, to banish suspicions, and to re

store that cordiality which was at once the evidence and

pledge of a friendly union." He suggested, that, as offi

cial copies of his letters had been delivered, the decision

of the Directory should be communicated to him, that it

might be by him transmitted, as from the Directory to

the United States ;

and he inquired whether it was their

intention that he should immediately quit the territories

of the Republic, or be permitted to wait an answer from

his government. This letter being sent by his Secretary,

the French minister desired him to return to General

Pinckney, as his answer,"

That the Executive Directory

knew of no minister plenipotentiary from the United

States of America since the presentation of Monroe s let

ters of recall;and that the Executive Directory had

charged him to notify to Mr. Monroe that they would

not acknowledge nor receive another minister plenipoten

tiary from the United States, until redress of theinjuries

demanded of the American government, and which the

French Republic had a right toexpect."

He added, as

to the continuance of Pinckney in Paris, that the views

of the Directory would be communicated either to him, or

to Monroe.

Two days after, a person, calling himself Chief Secre

tary to the minister of foreign affairs, waited upon Pinck

ney, tosignify, that wr

ith respect to his letter to him, he

could not directly communicate with him;as it would be

to acknowledge him as minister, when the Directory had

determined not to receive him;that

"

as to the part of

the letter which referred to his remaining, he supposed

that he was acquainted with the laws of France as re

spectedstrangers."

Pinckneyreplied, that he was not.

He was told, there was a decree preventing all strangers

remaining at Paris without particular permission, which

as the Directory did not mean to grant, of course the

general law would operate. Pinckney rejoined, "that a

direct communication could not involve the supposed

consequences, as Monroe had been recalled; and, if he

had died, the information must have been conveyed to

him. That the law cited did not reply to his letter, which

was to know whether it was the intention of the Direc

tory that he should quit the territories of therepublic."

He answered, that he believed it was their intention

he should quit their territories, but he would mention it

to the minister, and apprise him in the evening. Pinck-

soon after

compelledto act

definitivelyon the bills for this

object which were received from the Senate. But, in the

interval, an attempt was made, by urging a previous con

sideration of the ways and means, to alarm the Federal

ists.

Their opponents believed, that they would shrink

from a resort to direct taxation. The reluctance which

existed to a stamp act would, it was supposed, induce a

total dereliction of the system of defence. But this sup

position was erroneous. Sincere in their apprehensions

of danger, and resolved in their purpose to avert it from

the country, an act was immediately brought forward by

them, to raise a revenue by the imposition of stamp du

ties;and another increasing the duty on salt. This was

followed by a motion to authorize the establishment of a

Naval yard, and the purchase of lands on which the live

oak grew.

It was known, that the details of a Stamp act would

give rise to much discussion;and it was desirable not

again to encounter public suspicion by opposing the Senate

bills. With this view a motion was made by Gallatin for

an adjournment which would limit the Session to the du

ration of a week. This was rejected. An act was next

proposed by the Federalists to provide for the more ef

fectual collection of the internal revenue, as by a modifi

cation of the system, increased resources would be ob

tained, and a large recourse to new taxes be avoided. It

was not considered.

The bill for an increase of the artillery and engineers

was discussed. Its necessity was urged to preserve and

defend the fortifications. The seaboard was defenceless.

To the thirty forts on the coast, the present force, if

distributed, would furnish only fourteen men each. In

the interior, while the Spaniards were increasing their

immediatelyafter the accession of Adams to the Presi

dency, commenced a system of diplomatic annoyance.

Although eighteen months had elapsed since the conclu

sion of the treaty with the United States, and profound

silence had been observed, he now addressed an offensive

despatch, complaining, that the pact with Great Britain

was a violation of that treaty ;and that England had

"

surprised the good faith of the Federal government;

"

that the article "that free ships made freegoods"

had

been annulled that while with England they had agreed

that Naval Stores should be contraband they had stipu

lated with Spain that these articles should be free, and

had ceded and confirmed to Great Britain the right of

navigating the Mississippi ;a right which he alleged the

United States acquired only in virtue of their treaty with

Spain.

The manifest fallacy of the reasoning on which these

complaints were founded was clearly shown by a simple

statement of the intentions of the treaty as to the two

first objections, and by reference to its express language

as to the last. So complete was the reply, that the silence

of De Yrugo seemed to admit all its conclusions. But,

after an interval of two months, the correspondence was

resumed by him.

A report to Congress, by the Secretary of State, of

the obstacles interposed to the demarcation of the West

ern limits became the occasion of another remonstrance.

The Government wasreproached

with

having disregardedhis intimations of the designs of England to occupy the

Spanish territories;with having neglected to move the

army so as to protect the American territory from viola

tion by the advance of the British troops ;and by a gross

intimation that it had colluded with England. That

Spain retained the posts on unfounded pretences was de-

nied. The extraordinary position was assumed, that not

withstanding his stipulation in the treaty to withdraw his

garrisons, "it was not to be presumed that it could ever

have been the intention of his Catholic Majesty to deliver

up fortifications, which, besides that they have cost him

considerable sums of money, may, by the effect ofpoliti

cal vicissitudes, be one day prejudicial to hissubjects."

The answer of Pickering exposed at large the untruth

of the assertions, the disingenuousness of the statements,

and the absurdity of the pretences which marked the

character of a document, that in less perilous times would

have demanded the dismissal of its author.*

Following the example of Genet and Adet, De Yrugo

made a direct

appeal

to the Americanpeople, by causing

his accusatory letter to be printed. This preceded a

public commentary on the correspondence from the pen

of the Spanish minister, though under an assumed name.

It sought to defend the pretensions of Spain by a misap

plication of opinions of Jefferson; inculpated the Cabinet

for submission to the wrongs of England ; imputed to it

a departure from honesty and gratitude ;

and urged, that

it was necessary"

to attack the Administration in order

to support the Government" He had, indeed, the effront

ery to propose that the difference with Spain should be

adjusted at PARIS.

The correspondence was suspended until the opening

of Congress. De Yrugo, on the twenty-first of Novem

ber, addressed another letter to the Government. In this

document, after regretting the refusal of the United States

to authorize the American Commissioners to open a nego

tiation with Spain at Paris, he recapitulated his former

complaints the interference of the treaty with England

with that subsequently formed with Spain as to free ships

making free goods, and the provision securing to English

subjects the navigation of the Mississippi. It closed with

an explicit demand, whether the United States contem

plated the performance of the treaty in that particular.

The most important feature, beside that which pro

posed the transfer of the negotiation to Paris, was the

declaration it contained,"

that his Majesty had not ob

served in the answer (of Pickering to his previous letter)

any reason to induce him to change his opinion concern

ing the injuries resulting to his subjects from the stipula

tions of the English treaty compared with those of the

treaty with Spain. Thus, all the acts of the Spanish

agents

in obstructing the passage of the Mississippi, and

with holding the posts, were sanctioned by the Court of

Spain. The date of this letter shows the additional fact,

that the order under which this demand was preferred,

was given after the Revolution of France, on the fourth

of September seventeen hundred ninety-seven.

While such efforts were made to impair the confidence

of the people in the Administration, Jefferson was ever

busy, stimulating his faithful, and cajoling his dubious ad

herents.

Congratulations on his elevation to the Vice Presi

dency offered the occasion for renewed correspondences.

He had written to the South he next addressed himself

to the East. In all his letters are seen his hostility to

Washington, and it is a marked fact, that the persons ad

dressed by him were, several of them, those who had been

conspicuous in that hostility during the war of the Revo

lution, with others Washington s known personal enemies.*

that the great mass of the people are not republican ; all

of them, when traced to their true source, have only been

evidences of the preponderant popularity of a particular

great character. That influence once withdrawn, and

our countrymen left to the operation of their own un

biassed good sense, I have no doubt we shall see a pretty

rapid return of general harmony, and our citizens mov

ing in phalanx in the paths of regular liberty, order and

a sacrosanct adherence to the Constitution. This I think

it will be, if war with France can be avoided."

A recent election in the city of New York opened

hopes in that quarter. He wrote to Gates, the long for

gotten hero of the Cabal, depicting the Federalists as "a

faction

composed

of English subjects residing

amongus,

or, such as are English in all their relations and senti

ments."

Burr, defeated as a candidate for re-election to the

Senate, had been recently delegated to the Assembly of

New York. Masking his jealousy of him, Jefferson

opened a correspondence with him."

Perhaps,"he

wrote,

"

some general view of our situation and prospectssince you left us, may not be unacceptable. At any rate,

it will give me an opportunity of recalling myself to your

memory and of evidencing my esteem for you"He then

descanted on the dispositions of Congress, appealed to

his intense hate of Washington, assured him of his own

"greatand sincere esteem." "War,"

he asserted," was

intended.""

I had always hoped that the popularity of

the late President being once withdrawn from active

effect, the natural feelings of the people towards liberty

would restore the equilibrium between the Executive and

Legislative departments, which had been destroyed by

the superior weight and effect of that popularity, and that

their natural feelings of moral obligation would discoun-

tenance the ungrateful predilection of THE EXECUTIVE in

favor of Great Britain. But, unfortunately, the preced

ing measures had already alienated the nation who were

the object of them, had excited reaction from them, and

this reaction has, on the minds of our citizens, an effect

which supplies that of the Washington popularity."

"

I

have been much pleased to see a dawn of change in the

spirit of your State." *

What must have been the perversion of mind that

could regard the indignation of his countrymen at their

accumulated wrongs as a breach of " moral obligation ?"

What the effrontery of so zealous a partisan of France,

which could impute to Washington "an ungrateful pre

dilection in favor of Great Britain ?"

Abounding in glory, with no ambition to gratify, above

all influence but his love of country ;how deep-toned and

impressive is the voice of the late President at this mo

ment of peril.

"

It remains," he said,"

to be seen, whether our country will stand

upon independent ground, or be directed in its political concerns by

anyother nation. A little time will show who are its true

friends,or %hat is synonymous, who are true Americans. Those who are

stimulating a foreign nation to unfriendly acts, repugnant to our

rights and dignity, and advocating all its measures, or those whose

only aim has been to maintain a strict neutrality, to keep the United

States out of the vortex of European politics and to preserve them in

peace.

" Our affairs might continue in the most happy, flourishing, and

prosperous train, if the harmony of the Union were not endangered

by the internal disturbers of itspeace."

"It is hardly to be expected, that the Directory of France will ac

in the measures they have pursued, or that they were incapable of

Pride would be opposed to all these, and I can hardly think the

a blaze oflight

on thesystematic

calumnies Jefferson had

poured out against that venerated person.

Mazzei, a Florentine, who had resided in his vicinity

in Virginia and confided in him much, had returned to

Florence. The success of France over his native Tus

cany tempted him to seek importance, and to propitiate

her favor. He communicated the much noted letter

which Jefferson had addressed to him. It was published

at Paris, in the Moniteur of the Directory, in order to

sustain the opinions which had been inculcated on her

rulers to tarnish the character of Washington, and to

justifythe conduct of the French.

On its appearance,* this official Gazette remarked,

that it was," from one of the most virtuous and enlight

children, instead of abandoning her, they ought to have

armed in her defence. The treaty with Great Britain is

an act of hostility to France. Her government had

testified their resentment by breaking off communication

with an ungrateful and faithless ally,until she shall return

to a more just and benevolent conduct. Justice and

sound policy equally approve this measure of the French

Government. There is no doubt it will give rise to dis

cussions which may afford a triumph to the party of good

republicans the friends of France. Some writers main

lished at Paris a few days after the rejection of Pinck-

ney.

The influence of such sentiments from such a source

on the policy of that nation was obvious. It was a Dec

laration from the chief of the Democratic party, whose

election to the Presidency was confidently expected ;

and whose first act of propitiation would probably have

been the recall of Pinckney, and the reinstatement of Monroe in triumph. It was a declaration, that the system of

the American Government was "a system of ingratitude

and injustice towards France, from whom they would

alienate us to bring us again under British influence."*

A declaration assumed as true, and proclaimed to the

world by Barras, in his farewell to Monroe.

Its appearance in the United States caused extreme

perplexity to the author, and to his partisans. The less

initiated, untaught to dispute its meaning, proclaimed that

it was a forgery, and asserted that Jefferson would disa

vow it. Day after day, in long succession, the Federal

Gazettes called for its disavowal. No answer was given.

Noexplanation

offered. Continued silence confirmed the

belief of its authenticity. Enlightened men were less in

dignant than grieved at this humiliation of their country.

Angered amazement filled the mass of the friends of

Government.

Are, they asked, the opinions of France, which before

had been derived from adventurers, thus confirmed by

the late Secretary of State now the second officer of

this republic? In vain have we so long endured with

engagements. The former headof the

Foreign depart

ment, the officer most familiar with our external policy,

has stamped these assurances with falsehood. If Jefferson

thus wrote to an insignificantindividual in Italy,

what

have been his communications to more elevated persons

in the councils of France ? To what may be ascribed

her depredations her injuriesher indignities? What

was to be expected, if she believed this compendious cal

umny ?" That the United States had become the victims

of an Anglo-monarchical party, whose avowed object was

to impose the substance, as they had already the forms of

the British Government. That the Executive, the Judi

ciary, all the officers of the Government, the merchants,

and the public creditors, were engaged in this nefarious

design, and were only restrained from resorting to force

by the strength of the republicans the friends of France."

Not only are her resentments justified ;her hostilities are

invited. They are directed against the merchants. These

are the enemies of France. By striking at them, the rev

enues of the United States will be impaired ;her fund-

holders punished ;her commerce and her credit destroyed.

Such a communication from such a source, they stigma

tized as the vilest treason. In vain would posterity be

asked to believe it ever had been made.

No event in his life had happened since his desertion

of the government of Virginia, which caused Jefferson so

great embarrassment. As to the course to be pursued

his advisers differed. Monroe, who hadrecently

arrived

in the United States, wrote him,"

on his

with the flag of France floating over his head, Jefferson

Mi. 40.] HAMILTON. 89

tutional negative on the legislature. To protect itself,

it resorted to force. For a theoretically pure represen

tative democracy, one night substituted a military des

potism.

Yet this usurping government, with no other support

than the bayonet, was defended by the Democratic press

of the United States, as the assertor of liberty against the

plots of the Royalists. The same press insisted, that with

her power thus consolidated, her policy would be pacific ;

and that America had only to wait a short interval the

adjustment of all their controversies. Hamilton saw a

different result. He declared at this moment, that

" Power alone could reorganize the discordant materials

of Europe ;that there could be no pacific accommoda

tion of its disturbances;that France must seek repose

under a throne;and that some Bonaparte or Pichegru,

with half a million of veterans at his heels, would parcel

out monarchies, principalities, and tributary States at

pleasure."

*

As to the United States, the majority of the former

Directory

were in favor of war. Their successors were

not less hostile. The only question was, whether it

should be open, or, as it had been," war only on one side."

"

If France makes war," they said,"

it will be on the

Government, not on the people. The Government can

not succeed in raising armies, equipping a fleet, or laying

taxes to pay them. Had Madison been appointed Envoy,

it would have drawn closer the connection of seventeenhundred seventy-eight ;

as it is, she will not commit the

error of England by advancing into the United States.

The Directory can have, by proper agents, the prepon

derance there assigned to her."

* Thus is seen the force of Talleyrand s pithy remark as to Hamilton,

"Mais il avoit divine 1Europe."

^Ex. 41.] HAMILTON. 223

distribution of public honors and emoluments among the

citizens of the different States, but sometimes was yielded

to collateral considerations. As to the noncommissioned

officers and privates, it was conceived to be both unneces

sary and inexpedient to make any absolute appointment

among the States.

As to the question of an immediate or deferred ap

pointmentof the officers and

recruitingof the

troops,

and

whether the pay of the officers should be suspended, it

was answered, that the Act for augmenting the army was

peremptory in its provisions. The bounds of Executive

discretion, as to the forbearance to execute such a law,

might perhaps involve an investigation, nice in its own na

ture, and of a kind which it is generally most prudent to

avoid. The voluntary suspension of the execution of a

similar law could not bejustified,

but by considerations

of decisive cogency.

"There was nothing in the foreign relations of this country to dic

tate an abandonment of the policy of this act. Measures ofsecurity,

suggested by the experience of accumulated hostility, were not to be

abandoned because of merely probable symptoms of approaching ac

commodation. If such symptoms existed, they were to ~be ascribed to

the measures of vigor adopted ~by the Government, and may be frus

trated by a relaxation in those measures, affording an argument of

weakness or irresolution. The authoritative declaration of the Presi

dent, recently confirmed, showed that there was nothing discoverable

in the conduct of France which ought to change or relax our measures

of defence. Though some late occurrences rendered the prospect of an

invasion less probable, or more remote; yet, duly considering at all

times the rapid vicissitudes of political and military events, the extra

ordinary fluctuations of the contest in Europe, and the more extra

ordinary position of its principal nations,"

it can never be wise to vary

our measures of security with the continually varying aspect of its

affairs." Our safety should be placed beyond the reach of the casu

alties of those nations, by pursuing a steady system, organizing all our

resources^ and putting them in a state of preparation for prompt action.

dication had recently most insultingly been made, and

merely hinted that the selection of Murray would not be

unwelcome to France. In a second communication, to

Pichon, the respectful reception of an envoy without any

indication of the person was assured by Talleyrand.

Hamilton states :

"

In this manner assurances were given, that France was disposed

to treat,and that a Minister from the United States,

* would be re^

ceived and accredited ! But they were accompanied with intimations

of the characters proper to be employed, and who would be likely to

succeed, which was exceptionable, both, as it savored of the pretension

(justly censured by the President himself,) of prescribing to other gov

ernments how they were to manage their own affairs;and as it might

be construed into a tacit condition of the promise to receive a minister.

Overtures so circuitous andinformal, through

a

personwho was not

the regular organ of the French government for making them, to a per

son who was not the regular organ of the American Government for

receiving them, might be a very fit mode of preparing the way for the

like overtures in a more authentic and obligatory shape, but they

were a very inadequate basis for the institution of a new mission.

When the President pledged himself in his speech to send a minister,

if satisfactory assurances of a proper reception were given, he must

have been understood to mean such as were direct and official, notsuch as were both informal and destitute of a competent sanction."

Yet upon this loose and vague foundation, Adams,

lured by the pledge of Democratic support, on the eigh

teenth of February precipitately nominated Murray, en

voy to the French Republic," without previous consulta

tion with any of his ministers!

The nomination itself wasto each of them, even to the Secretary of State, his con

stitutional counsellor in similar affairs, the first notice of

theproject."

The message bore date the same day with the passage

of the bill in the Senate for"

the eventual organization

of thearmy,"

in which he beheld the perspective of Ham-

ilton s future elevation." The British faction," he wrote,

was determined to have a war with France;and ALEX

ANDER HAMILTON at the head of the army, and then Pres

ident of the United States !

" *

In his message to the Senate nominating Murray, he

transmitted" a document f which," he said,

" seems to be

intended to be a compliance with the condition of his mes

sage of the twenty-first of June;

"

stated his own readiness

"to embrace every plausible appearance of probability of

preserving or restoring tranquillity;"and added, that the

Envoy should"

not go to France without direct and une

quivocal assurances from the French government, signi-

fied by their minister of foreign relations, that he shall be

received in character," and that an exchange of ministers

should take place.

This procedure was immediately communicated to

Hamilton by a senator, who wrote," This message, im

portant and mischievous as it is, wa,s the result of Presi

* Letter of Adams, xxxiv.

f The document on which this nomination was founded, was the second

letter from Talleyrand to Pichon, before advertedto, bearing date the 28th

Sept., 1798, more thanfour months previous to the nomination. Yet, it is stated,

to have been received on the 31st of January, 1799. When it is seen that, in

a letter, of the 1st of February, 1799 the next day, from the Secretary of State

to Murray, the intervention of Holland was summarily rejected in these words,

" The President did not pause for an answer in thenegative,"

and from the

probability of its having been received long before, the inference is, that this

letter wasmerely

thepretext

of thenomination, prompted by

other motives.

The former of these letters, probably to avoid the objection that would be

made to the appointment of Murray, that he had been indicated in it by Tal

leyrand and to escape the comment that his selection of Murray was dictated

by him, to the President, was suppressed. It was subsequently furnished to

and published by Callender ! \

^Er. 44.] HAMILTON".

from Bayardto

Hamilton,written soon after this re

sult :

*

" Your views in relation to this election differed very little from

my own, but I was obliged to yield to a torrent which I perceived

might be diverted, but could not be opposed.

"

In one case I was willing to take Burr, but I never considered it as

a case likely to happen. If by his conduct he had completely forfeited the

confidence and friendship of his party, and left himself no resort but the

support of the Federalists, there are many considerations which would

have induced me to prefer him to Jefferson. But I was enabled soon

to discover that he was determined not to shackle himself with Fed

eral principles ;and it became evident, that if he got in without being

absolutely committed in relation to his own party, that he would be

disposed and obliged to play the game of McKean f upon an improved

plan and enlarged scale.

"

In the origin of the business I had contrived to lay hold of all

the doubtful votes in the Ilouse, which enabled me, according to views

which presented themselves, to protract or terminate the controversy.

This arrangement was easily made, from the opinion readily adopted

from the consideration, that representing a smallstate,

without re

sources which could supply the means of self-protection, I should not

dare to proceed to any length which would jeopardize the Constitution

or the safety of any State.

" When the experiment was fullymade,

and acknowledgedupon

all

hands to have completely ascertained, that Burr was resolved not to

commit himself, and that nothing remained but to appoint a President

by law, or leave the government without one, I came out with the most

explicit and determined declaration of voting for Jefferson. You can

not well imagine the clamor and vehement invective to which I was

subjected for some days. We had several caucuses. All acknowledged

that nothing but desperate measures remained, which several were dis

posedto

adopt,and but few were

willing openlyto

disapprove.Wo

broke up each time in confusion and discord, and the manner of tho

last ballot was arranged, but a few minutes before the ballot was given.

Our former harmony, however, has since been restored.

" The public declarations of my intention to vote for Mr. Jefferson,

* Mar. 8, 1801. Hamilton s Works, vi. 522.

Public debt, the Federalists had not created the great

mass of it. They had provided for its interest and the

extinguishment of the principal.

" No man can impute that to them as a crime, who is

not ready to avow the fraudulent and base doctrine, that

merit the execrations which have been bestowed on the

measure 1"

Inaugural Address was next referred to."

550 THE REPUBLIC. [1802.

were merely intended to conciliate favor to the former;

and, on the day appointed for their consideration, Breck-

enridge, passing them by, moved that the act of the last

session respecting the Judiciary Establishment, be re

pealed. He was seconded by Mason of Virginia.

On the eighth of January the debate commenced in the

Senate. A leading motiveto this

repeal was stated to bethe small number of suits previously decided and then de

pending in those Courts. The power of abolishing them

was next considered. The Judicial power was vested by

the Constitution in "one Supreme Court and in such in

ferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time or

dain and establish." This was pronounced a discretionary

power. It would be a paradox to say Congress mayestablish and shall not abolish these inferior Courts. The

Constitution declares, the Judges shall not be removed

from office during good behavior, nor their salaries dimin

ished during their continuance in office. Thus a Judge is

totally out of the power of the President, and his salary

secured against Legislative diminution during his continu

ance in office. The first check applies to the President

only, and the other to the Legislature only. Shall a

Judge hold his office after it is abolished ? Can his term

be limited by behaving well in an office which does not

exist ? Can the shadow, the Judge, remain, when the

substance, the office, is removed ? If so, the Constitution

would have declared that

Judges

should hold their offices

and salaries during good behavior. It is a principle of it,

that no man shall receive public money but for public

services. Yet by a different construction, complete sine

cure offices will be created hosts of Constitutional pen

sioners settled upon us.

The Judges of England are removed by a jointvote

of the Lords and Commons. Here, they can be removed

M-s. 45.] HAMILTON". 571

serious a danger of convulsion and disorder is incident to the plan. On

this point, things have come to rny knowledge, improper for aletter,

which would astonish you. Surely we ought, by this time, to have

learned, that whatever multiplies the opportunities and means of cabal,

is more favorable to our adversaries than to us. They have certainly

the advantage in the game, by greater zeal, activity, and subtlety, and

especially by an abandonment of principle. On all these accounts, it is

our true policy to abridge the facilities to cabal, as much as possible, in

all our public institutions and measures. As to the second of the

amendments, it has ever appeared to me as sound principle, to let the

Federal Government rest, as much as possible, on the shoulders of the

people: and as little as possible, on those of the State Legislatures.

The proposition accords with this principle j and, in my view, it is fur

ther recommended by its tendency to exclude combinations, which, I am

persuaded, in the general and permanent course of things, will operate

more against than for us. Colonel Burr, without doubt, will resist

these amendments, and he may induce some of our friends to play into

his hands : but this will be a very bad calculation, even admitting the

inadmissible idea, that he ought to be adopted as a Chief of the Federal

part}r. We never can have him fairly in our power, till we render his

situation absolutely hopeless with his old friends. While the indis

criminate voting prevails, he will find it his interest to play fast and

loose, and to keep himself in a state to be at the head of the Anti-fed

eral party. If these hopes are cutoff,

he will immediately set about

forming a third part} ,of which he will be at the head

jand then, if

we think it worth the while, we can purchase him with his flying

squadrons." These observations are, of course, hypothetical ; for,

to my mind,

the elevation of Mr. Burr, by Federal means, to the Chief Magistracy

of the United States, will be the worst kind of political suicide.

"

Adieu, my dear Sir. Yours very sincerely."

Hamilton s propositions for the amendment of the

Constitution passed the House of Representatives by a

large majority. In the Senate they failed for the want

of one vote, that of Gouverneur Morris, who assigned

the reasons for that vote to the Legislature of New

York.* These were, his aversion to Amendments that

deposit alone would not be waived for a while, rather than

it should be the immediate ground of war and an alliance

with England. This suggested a particular passage in

the official letter now sent you and Mr. Livingston. The

elections in New England are running much against the

Administration;as to Virginia in general, things continue

well in that State."

Soon after the date of these instructions to the joint

envoys, a royal order of Spain was made public, direct

ing the delivery of Louisiana to the French, as possessed

by them when ceded to her. This retrocession embraced

the whole North-Western territory as then defined a

fact which marks the purposes of France. The informa

tion of this order was carefully kept back until Congress

had risen. Before another week elapsed, the French

Charge d Affaires announced to Madison, that the suspen

sion of the right of deposit was the unauthorized act of

the Spanish Intendant, which annunciation was followed

by a letter from the Spanish Minister, stating that orders

had been received to continue the right of deposit until

an agreement should be made as to an equivalent place.

The disclosure of these orders was hailed by the

Democratic party with loud exultation. A calmer view

exhibits this procedure as a deceptive assurance intended

to lull the American Cabinet to repose, until France

should have taken full possession of her acquisition. This

is the only probable motive to which her reserve at Paris

and the intimation of her purpose to accredit a minister

to the United States can be ascribed. It is confirmed by

the fact that Buonaparte had sent his prefect Laussat to

New Orleans to receive possession, who only waited the

arrival of a French fleet and army to enter upon the gov

ernment of the province. But events were taking a di

rection in Europe, which rescued the Democrats from the

impending danger and established the dominance of the

Virginian influence.

On the day* when the assurance of the French

Charge was received at Washington, that the suspension

of the right of deposit was unauthorized, Livingston

wrote from Paris the letter previously quoted : "With

respect to a negotiation for Louisiana, I think nothing

will be effected here." He, at the same time, mentioned

an occurrence which showed the strong probability of a

renewal of hostilities between France and Great Britain.

Early in the previous year, the British Cabinet stated

to the American resident at London :

"

It is impossible

that so

importantan event as the cession of Louisiana

by Spain to France should be regarded by the King in

any other light than as highly interesting to his Majesty

and to the United States;and should render it more ne

cessary than ever that there should subsist between the

two Governments that spirit of confidence which is be

come so essential to the security of their respective terri

tories and possessions." It assured him, that his Majesty" has not, in any manner, directly or indirectly, acquiesced

in or sanctioned this cession, and will be anxious to learn

the sentiments of the United States on every part of this

subject, and the line of policy which they will be inclined

to adopt in the event of this arrangement being carried

into effect."

In his state of alarm, Jefferson wrote to Rufus King,

expressing a"hope

that through your agency we may be

able to remove every thing inauspicious to a cordial

friendship between this country and the one on which

you are stationed;a friendship dictated by too many

considerations not to be felt by the wise and dispassionate

open a negotiation for Florida. Randolph proposed that

this sum be confined to that purchase, which was agreed

The secret journal of the House was published, but this

confidential Message of Jefferson was omitted.

Shrinking from the consequences of his own measures,

though intelligence of the decease of Fox was received,

Jefferson recommended a further suspension of his Non-

Importation Act, and Congress acquiesced.

The double policy of the Administration was success

fully practiced on the American people, but events were

the only obstacle to her maritime hostilities, resolved to

resort to a blockade. British "Orders in Council" fol

Every point of practice had to be investigated and its ap

plication to our Courts and Institutions questioned and

tested. Hamilton thought it necessary to produce author

ities, to demonstrate and to guide the power of the Court,

seen in the now familiar case of putting off a cause for

the Circuit, and to show that the power was to be ex.

"

in sound discretion for the

furtherance of justice."*"He

never made any argu*ment in Court," Kent adds, "in any case, without dis^

playing his habits of thinking and resorting at once to

some well founded principle of law, and drawing his de

treated by him as a science, founded on established

principles."

" He rose at once to the loftiest heights of

professional eminence, by his profound penetration, his

power ofanalysis, the comprehensive grasp and strength

of his understanding and the firmness, frankness and

integrity of his character. We may say of him, in refer

" His manners were

gentle, affable and kind;

and he appeared to be frank,

liberal and courteous in all his professional intercourse."

Referring to a particular case, Chancellor Kent pro

ceeds :

" Hamilton by means of his fine melodious voice,

and dignified deportment, his reasoning powers and per

suasive address, soared far above all competition. His

preeminence was at once and universally conceded. The

Guen, a native of France, to recover the value of merchandise frcm his factors who had sold it for him, reserv

ing to him an election to receive payment in France,

whither he intended returning, or in the United States.

The factors were members of a leading mercantile house

in the City of New York. The purchasers, a firm com

posed of individuals of the Jewish faith.

A protracted negotiation preceded the suit at law in

which a verdict was, in the first instance, rendered for the

factors. It was set aside after a very elaborate discussion

before the Supreme Court, and on a new trial the plain

tiff recovered a sum of one hundred and twenty thou

sand dollars. On an appeal to the Court of Errors, this

judgment

was confirmed

by

a largemajority

of that

body.A bill had been meanwhile filed in the Court of

Chancery, and an injunction granted to stay the execu

tion of the judgment. In order to open anew the merits

of the controversy, an issue at law to try the question of

fraud was ordered by Chancellor Livingston. From this

order an appeal was also made to the Court of Errors.

The grounds of the claim were, that the factors had not

elected in obedience to the instructions of their principal

to receive the proceeds in Europe, and their refusal to

authorize him to receive the surplus of those proceeds,

after deducting a sum sufficient to cover their claims.

The magnitude of the demand, the course of the pro

ceedings, the long continued and embittered litigation had

excited much feeling in the community, whose leaning

was in favor of the factors. Hamilton wrote his wife :

"

I drop you a line to tell you, that I am well, and that

to-day the hearing of Le Guen s cause began. I fear the

prepossessions are strongly against us. But we must try

to overcome them. At any rate, we shall soon get to the

close of our journey, and, if I should lose my cause, I must

consolemyself with finding my friends. With the utmost

eagerness will Ifly to them."*

In every stage of the contest Hamilton s exertions had

been unremitting." To the overbearing weight and in

fluence of his talents" was chiefly attributed the success

of his client. In the Court of last resort, where it was

supposed, that the result would mainly depend on the

ability of the advocates, Gouverneur Morris, a relative of

one of the defendants, appeared as his counsel. Harrison

and Burr were associated with Hamilton.

His argument opened with an examination of the pre

liminary question, whether the alleged fraud was then

examinable. He adduced authorities to show that Courts

of law and equity had concurrent jurisdiction in matters

of fraud. That where there had been an opportunity to

try the question by one competent tribunal, having had

cognizance, and having decided, it cannot afterwards be

examined by another;

but where there is an equally

actual remedy at law, equity will not interpose. The

conclusion from these propositions was, that this being a

question of fraud, which would have been a

good

defence

at law, and the respondents having had full notice of all

the facts, they were too late. He then proceeded with a

close review of the immense mass of evidence which had

been taken at law, and of the pleadings in Chancery.

The nature of the testimony, the character of the wit

nesses, their respective credibility, all called forth his

powers of analysis. The minute and long investigation

resulting in a complete vindication of his client from the

imputation of fraud, the cause was left before the Court

upon its substantial merits. This speech occupied six

hours in its delivery. Gouverneur Morris addressed the

720 THE KEPUBLIC. [1804.

Were a Jury of the free people of a Republican State

less alive to the value of freedom of discussion than a Jury

of Colonists ? Had the common law, upon which they

claimed to exercise the right of judging of criminal in

tent, been abrogated by intervening decisions of Courts ?

Was the doctrine true, that, in declaring independence,

they had relinquished all the valued security of that much

cherished law of their ancestors ? Jefferson, at an early

period of this Government, urged the violation of a great

principle of public policy on the ground of the operation

of the common law in* Virginia upon a public contract;

but when, in his game of ambition, he found it expedient

to array that State against the Union, then he declared,

that "of all the doctrines which have been broached by

the Federal Government, the novel one, of the common

law being in force, and cognizable as an existing law in

their Courts," was to him "the most formidable." f

Thus prompted by, and in obedience to his patron,

Madison, in the Assembly of Virginia, rejected the de

fence of the Sedition act, that it was declaratory of the

common law, denouncing it as

"

a doctrine novel inits

principles, and tremendous in its consequences, that the

common law of England is in force under the Govern

ment of the United States."

But, in opposition to these opinions, the people could

refer triumphantly to the unanimous resolution of the

Congress of seventeen hundred and seventy-four,"

that

the respective Colonies are ENTITLED to the COMMON LAWOF ENGLAND, and more especially to the great and ines

timable privilege of being tried by their peers of the

vicinage, according to the course of that law" They

could refer to the Constitution of their own State, which

^Ex. 47.] HAMILTON. 749

The son of an aged man in humble life, residing in the

interior, was indicted of a heinous crime. His character

was exemplary, and he had applied the proceeds of his

industry to the support of his father, who had a numerous

family. But he was a Democrat, and in the heat of po

litical strife, had incurred the hostility of his Federal

neighbors. These persons took hold of suspicious cir

cumstances, and formed of them a tale which menacedhis ruin. The old man was told, that the only chance for

his son was to employ General Hamilton. He came to

New York, called upon him, and he undertook the cause.

Hesitating with apprehension, because he was poor, the

aged countryman asked him to name his fee. Hamilton

evaded the question, telling him he must then go to

Court, and that the fee must be left to some other time.

When the cause came to trial, satisfied of the innocence

of his client, after analyzing the evidence, Hamilton broke

forth with a stern rebuke at the intrusion ofpolitics

into

the temple of Justice pointed out the danger of trusting

memory under the influence of political resentments, and

showed how easily a web of falsehood might be woven.

He deplored the growth of party spirit, described it as a

fiend which disturbed the peace of families, the quiet of

villages, the tranquillity of the whole country declared

that the breast in which it was suffered to take root be

came a prey to the vilest passions, and that "before he

would permit it to sway his feelings, he would pluck his

heart from his bosom." On this

Jury,

he said, were wait

ing, of the friends of the accused not one not two not

three but a whole neighborhood, who hadvoluntarily

come over hill and dale from afar from a great dis

tance, to throw in the mite of their testimony, and raise

a monument of public opinion in his favor. These friends

were now hanging on the verdict of that Jury to know,

ton would have troddenunder his feet. It

was, however,his refined policy, first to caress and feed with hopes the

victim to be slain. While the President s power in office

was being confirmed, not a whisper was uttered, not a

voice was heard in disparagement of the Vice-President.

So to have done would have betrayed the wounds of a

doubtful triumph, and have encouraged opposition. But

as the tides in his favor rose, and the breezes from every

quarter came fluttering upon his cheeks, Jefferson was

seen to knit his brows and grind his teeth. And then, a

silent edict went forth from the Capitol, Madison alone

of the Cabinet, deadly jealous of the apparent possible

heir, consulted and abetting. Burr s very aspirations were

deemed a treason, though inspired by the Constitution;

and while Hamilton is seen engaged in removing a blem

ish from the Constitution, Jefferson was busy driving its

casual upstart from the State. It was the President s

opinion, an opinion the stronger because of Burr s effi

ciency in the recent election, that Burr was not true, and

at once Burr was pronounced false. It was their Presi

dent s wish, that Burr be outlawed, and that wish was the

law of his Democracy. New York had been the scene

of Burr s immediate success;New York must be the

scene of his immediate defeat;and every thing in New

York conspired to this result. The cooperation of the

three Democratic factions in that State was but a tempo

rary cohesion. The repellent parts had broken asunder,

and the disruption was the more violent because of the

forced connection. Burr s destruction was the more a fixed

purpose there, from the obvious motive, that it diminished

the number of the recipients of public favor. That favor

was to be conferred so as to keep in pliant accord the

Clintons and the Livingstons, to act against their common

foe. George Clinton, again Governor of the State, had

been permitted to covet the succession to the Vice-Presi

dency, while his able nephew and most faithful friend,

was preferred to the Senate of the United States. Chan

cellor Livingston was in Paris, engaged on his important

errand. His brother, Edward Livingston, won away

from Burr, as was stated, was appointed by the Govern

or, Mayor of the City of New York. Brockholst Living

ston, anda connection of the

Livingstons were both seat

ed on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United

States, while minor members of the family were rewarded

with minor lucrative offices. On but one devoted ad

herent of Burr was the Presidential patronage suffered to

cast a lingering ray. Even from the direction of the bank

Burr had established by a trick, and which had done so

much in raising him and his party to power, the Vice

President and Swartwout were both ejected.This tyran

ny of party felt the necessity of a vindicator and instru

ment of its proscriptions. Retaliation was the natural

consequence ;and two gazettes were seen entering the

gladiatorial arena one devoted to Clinton,* the other to

Burr,f pouring forth bitterest accusations and exproba-

tions of their antagonists. Burr was openly charged with

intrigues with the Federalists to obtain the Presidency,

and with persisting in continued intrigues bearing on the

coming election. Was not Jefferson the long preferred,

long intended choice of the Democrats ? Except by a

few interested confederates, who ever dreamed of Burr s

elevation to that

high

trust ? Had his ambition been

chaste, and his fidelity to his party clear, would the choice

of a President by the House of Representatives have been

uEx. 47.] HAMILTON. 815

the result which is indicated in the close of the letter, of

may be intended to give an opening for rendering any

thing explicit which may have been deemed vague here

tofore, can only be judged of by the sequel. At any rate

it appears to me necessary not to be misunderstood. Mr.

Pendleton is therefore authorized to say, that in the course

of the present discussion, written or verbal, there has been

no intention toevade, defy,

orinsult,

but a sincere dis

position to avoid extremities, if it could be done with

propriety. With this view, Gen. Hamilton has been

ready to enter into a frank and free explanation on any

and every object of a specific nature : but not to answer

a general and abstract inquiry embracing a period too

long for any accurate recollection, and exposing him to

unpleasant criticisms from, or unpleasant discussions with,

any and every person, who may have understood him in

an unfavorable sense. This (admitting that he could

answer in a manner the most satisfactory to Col. Burr,)

he should deem inadmissible in principle and precedent,

and humiliating in practice. To this therefore he can

never submit. Frequent allusion has been made to slan

ders said to be in circulation. Whether they are openly

or in whispers, they have a form and shape and might be

specified.

"If the alternative alluded to in the close of the letter

is definitively tendered, it must be accepted : the time,

place, and manner, to be afterwards regulated. I should

not think it right in the midst of a Circuit Court to with

draw my services from those who may have confided

important interests to me, and expose them to the em

barrassment of seeking other Counsel, who may not have

time to be sufficiently instructed in their cases. I shall

also want a little time to make some arrangements re

specting my own affairs."
