| That the leading agency of such a man [Alexander Hamilton], and from a State in the position of New York, should, in a project for severing the Union, be anxiously wished for by its authors, is not to be doubted; and an experimental invitation of him to attend a select meeting may, without difficulty, be supposed. But obvious considerations oppose a belief that such an invitation would be accepted; and, if accepted, the supposition would remain, that his intention might be to dissuade his party and personal friends from a conspiracy as rash, as wicked, and as ruinous to the party itself as to the country. |
| ~ Letter to J. Q. Adams, Feby 24, 1829, (James Madison, 1865, IV, pages 31-32) ~ |
