1465. CONCILIATION, Coalition and.

—If we can hit on the true line of conduct
which may conciliate the honest part of those
who were called federalists, and do justice to
those who have so long been excluded from it,
I shall hope to be able to obliterate, or rather
to unite the names of federalists and republicans.—
To Horatio Gates. Ford ed., viii, II.
(W. March. 1801)
