1015. BURR'S (A.) TRIAL, Federalist support.—[continued].

The federalists, too, give
all their aid, making Burr's cause their own,
mortified only that he did not separate the
Union or overturn the government, and proving,
that had he had a little dawn of success, they
would have joined him to introduce his object,
their favorite monarchy, as they would any
other enemy, foreign or domestic, who could rid
them of this hateful Republic for any other
government in exchange.—
To William B. Giles. Washington ed. v, 66. Ford ed., ix, 42.
