[1187] Phelps to Wolcott, July 15, 1800; relating Noah Webster's endors.e.m.e.nt of Adams's opinions; Gibbs, ii, 380.

[1188] Ames to Wolcott, Aug. 3, 1800; Gibbs, ii, 396.

[1189] In the summer of 1800, Jefferson dined with the President. Adams was utterly unreserved to the Republican leader. After dinner, General Henry Lee, also a guest, remonstrated with the President, who responded that "he believed Mr. Jefferson never had the ambition, or desire to aspire to any higher distinction than to be his [Adams's] first Lieutenant." (Lee to Pickering, 1802; Pickering MSS., Ma.s.s. Hist. Soc.; also partly quoted in Gibbs, ii, 366; and see Ames to Wolcott, June 12, 1800; Gibbs, ii, 368; and to King, Sept. 24, 1800; King, iii, 304.)

[1190] Ames to Pickering, Nov. 5, 1799; _Works_: Ames, i, 261.

[1191] Ames to Gore, Nov. 10, 1799; _ib._, 265.

[1192] Ames to Gore, Nov. 10, 1799; Ames, i, 268.

[1193] Cabot to Wolcott, June 14, 1800; Lodge: _Cabot_, 274.

[1194] Jefferson to Granger, Aug. 13, 1800; _Works_: Ford, ix, 138-41; and see Jefferson to Gerry, January 26, 1799; _ib._, 17-19.

[1195] "The Jacobins and the half federalists are ripe for attacking the permanent force, as expensive, and unnecessary, and dangerous to liberty." (Ames to Pickering, Oct. 19, 1799; _Works_: Ames, i, 258.)

[1196] "In my lengthy journey through this State [Pennsylvania] I have seen many, very many Irishmen and with very few exceptions, they are United Irishmen, Free Masons, and the most G.o.d-provoking Democrats on this side of h.e.l.l," who, "with the joy and ferocity of the d.a.m.ned, are enjoying the mortification of the few remaining honest men and Federalists, and exalting their own hopes of preferment, and that of their friends, in proportion as they dismiss the fears of the gallows.... The Democrats are, without doubt, increasing." (Uriah Tracy to Wolcott, Aug. 7, 1800; Gibbs, ii, 399.)

[1197] Huntington to Wolcott, Aug. 6, 1800; _ib._, 398.

[1198] Ames to Wolcott, June 12, 1800; _ib._, 369.

[1199] McHenry to Wolcott, July 22, 1800; Steiner, 462. "Your very wise political correspondents will tell you anything sooner than the truth.

For not one of them will look for anything but profound reasons of state at the bottom of the odd superstructure of parties here. There is nothing of the kind at the bottom." (Ames to King, Aug. 19, 1800; King, iii, 294.)

[1200] The Republicans were making much political capital out of the second mission. They had "saved the country from war," they said, by forcing Adams to send the envoys: "What a roaring and bellowing did this excite among all the hungry gang that panted for blood only to obtain pelf in every part of the country." (_Aurora_, March 4, 1800.)

[1201] Goodrich to Wolcott, Aug. 26, 1800; Gibbs, ii, 412.

[1202] _Am. St. Prs., For. Rel._, ii, 325.

[1203] Republican success in the approaching election.

[1204] Marshall to Adams, July 21, 1800; Adams MSS.

[1205] Marshall to Hamilton, Aug. 23, 1800; _Works_: Hamilton, vi, 460.

[1206] A Republican victory.

[1207] Marshall to Adams, Aug. 25, 1800; Adams MSS.

[1209] Marshall to Adams, Sept. 17, 1800; Adams MSS. The "retrograde steps" to which Marshall refers were the modification of the French _arrets_ and decrees concerning attacks on our commerce.

[1210] Marshall to Tinsley, Sept. 13, 1800; MS., Ma.s.s. Hist. Soc.

[1211] Marshall, ii, 438.

[1212] _Am. St. Prs., For. Rel._, ii, 342 _et seq._

[1213] Gunn to Hamilton, Dec. 18, 1800; _Works_: Hamilton, vi, 492; and Rutledge to Hamilton, Jan. 10, 1801; _ib._, 511; Ames to Gore, Nov. 10, 1799; _Works_: Ames, i, 265.

[1214] Hamilton to Sedgwick, Dec. 22, 1800; _Works_: Lodge, x, 397; also, to Morris, Dec. 24, 1800; _ib._, 398.

[1215] Marshall to Hamilton, Jan. 1, 1801; _Works_: Hamilton, vi, 502-03; and see Brown: _Ellsworth_, 314-15. The princ.i.p.al American demand was compensation for the immense spoliation of American commerce by the French. The treaty not only failed to grant this, but provided that we should restore the French ships captured by American vessels during our two years' maritime war with France, which, though formally undeclared, was vigorous and successful. "One part of the treaty abandons all our rights, and the other part makes us the dupes of France in the game she means to play against the maritime power of England....

We lose our honor, by restoring the ships we have taken, and by so doing, perhaps, make an implicit acknowledgment of the injustice of our hostile operations." (Rutledge to Hamilton, Jan. 10, 1801; _Works_: Hamilton, vi, 511.)

[1216] Bayard to Andrew Bayard, Jan. 26, 1801; _Bayard Papers_: Donnan, 121.

[1217] Gallatin to his wife, Feb. 5, 1801; Adams: _Gallatin_, 259.

[1218] _Ib._, 254.

[1219] Ames to Gore, Dec. 29, 1800; reviewing political events of the year; _Works_: Ames, i, 286-87.

[1220] Hamilton to Wolcott, Aug. 3, 1800; _Works_: Lodge, x, 383; and Wolcott to Ames, Aug. 10, 1800; Gibbs, ii, 400.

[1221] Hamilton to Wolcott, Sept. 26, 1800; _Works_: Lodge, x, 389 (also in Gibbs, ii, 422); and see same to same, Aug. 3, 1800; _Works_: Lodge, x, 883.

[1222] Troup to King, Oct. 1, 1800; King, iii, 315.

[1223] _Aurora_, May 20, 1800.

[1224] Sedgwick to King, Sept. 26, 1800; King, iii, 309.

[1225] Ames to Hamilton, Aug. 26, 1800; _Works_: Hamilton, vi, 463; also Cabot to Hamilton, Aug. 21, 1800; ib., 458; and Aug. 23, 1800; _ib._, 460 (also in Lodge: _Cabot_, 284-88); and to Wolcott, Aug. 23, 1800; Lodge: _Cabot_, 288-89.

The local politicians were loyal to the President; Ames bitterly complains of "the small talk among the small politicians, about disrespect to the President, &c., &c." (Ames to Pickering, Nov. 23, 1799; _Works_: Ames, i, 272.)

[1226] Hamilton to Adams, Aug. 1, 1800; _Works_: Lodge, x, 382; and same to same, Oct. 1, 1800; _ib._, 390. Wolcott supplied most of the material and revised Hamilton's ma.n.u.script. (Wolcott to Hamilton, Oct. 1, 2, 1800; _Works_: Hamilton, vi, 470-71.) For entire attack see Hamilton: "Public Conduct and Character of John Adams"; _Works_: vii, 687-726 (also in _Works_: Lodge, vii, 309-65.)

[1227] Parton: _Burr_, 256-57; Davis: _Burr_, ii, 65 _et seq._

[1228] "This pamphlet has done more mischief to the parties concerned than all the labors of the _Aurora_!" (Duane to Collot; Parton: _Burr_, 258.)

[1229] "Our friends ... lamented the publication.... Not a man ... but condemns it.... Our enemies are universally in triumph.... His [Hamilton's] usefulness hereafter will be greatly lessened." (Troup to King, Nov. 9, 1800; King, iii, 331.) "All ... blame ... Mr. Hamilton."

(Carroll to McHenry, Nov. 4, 1800; Steiner, 476.)

Some Federalist politicians, however, observed Hamilton's wishes. For example: "You must at all events secure to the Genr. [Pinckney] a majority in Cong., it may there be done with _safety_, his success depends on the accomplishment of this measure. You know a friend of ours who can arrange this necessary business with the utmost perfect suavity." (d.i.c.kinson to McHenry, Oct. 7, 1800; Steiner, 471.)

Again d.i.c.kinson writes of "the absolute necessity of obtaining a _majority_ (if it should only be by a _single_ vote) in Cong. to favor the man who interests us most" and hopes "Hamilton's publication ...

will produce the desired effect." (Oct. 31, 1800; _ib._, 472.)

[1230] _Washington Federalist_, Nov. 29, 1800.

[1231] For instance see the _Aurora's_ editorial on women in the army, January 14, 1800; and see t.i.tles of imaginary books editorially suggested for use by the various Federalist leaders, especially Hamilton, Harper, and Gouverneur Morris, in _ib._, May 10, 1800. On August 21 it described some Federalist leaders as "completely bankrupt of character as well as fortune."
