852. BLOUNT (William), Impeachment of.—

It is most evident, that the antirepublicans
wish to get rid of Blount's impeachment.
Many metaphysical niceties are handing
about in conversation, to show that it cannot be
sustained. To show the contrary, it is evident
must be the task of the republicans, or of nobody.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iv, 206. Ford ed., vii, 190.
(Pa., Jan. 1798)
