Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of Rufus King, Vol. 4: Comprising His Letters, Private and Official His Public Documents and His Speeches; 1801-1806 This fourth volume presents the correspondence to the time of the close of Mr. King´s mission to Great Britain, and gives an account of several interesting events which occupied attention, and in which he was an interested actor. He returned to the United States finding the friends with whom he had been closely associated before his departure for Great Britain out of power, the political principles upon which they had founded the government discredited and supplanted by others of which they saw the dangerous tendency; a condition of things which made many loyal men suggest disloyal expedients. Mr. King was not of these but was, indeed, an earnest opposer of their plans; and when he came home untrammelled by personal connection with the political animosities which prevailed, he was put forward by the leaders as the representative of the old Federal Party, but only to be defeated. The circumstances connected with these efforts to recover power will be found explained in the correspondence. The relations with his friend Alexander Hamilton; his connection with the duel which deprived the country of its leading statesman; his interest in seeing provision made to relieve the family, whose head had been taken away; are all clearly stated, showing the warmth of his friendship, and the earnestness with which he sought to avert the consequence of this sad event. The threatened attempt of some of the New England men to seek relief from the political troubles of the time by severing the Union, received, as will be seen, his positive rebuke, as it had received that of Hamilton and of other sound men of the Federal party.
