Excerpt from The Correspondence of John Adams, Esquire, Late President of the United States of America: Concerning the British Doctrine of Impressment; And Many Interesting Things Which Occurred During His Administration
The cause which produced this correspondence is simply this. Mr. Adams, in several written communications, venture to disapprove of the conduct of the leading Federalists to the eastward and particularly of what he very aptly termed Mr. Gore"s declaration of war against France." He also gave the weight of his character in favor of the late measures of government, so much reprobated and so violently opposed by the "British party in America." These proceedings naturally kindled the ire of the Federalists, or the disciples of the Hamilton school, and they censured him in a loud and indecent manner; stating that "he had never possessed the confidence of the Federal party &c. - To shew why he did possess their confidence were these essays written. For an Attentive perusal every man will find ample interesting facts, hitherto veiled from the eye of the public.
