1524. CONGRESS, Corruption and.—[further continued] .
I indulge myself on one
political topic only, that is, in declaring to my
countrymen the shameless corruption of a portion
of the representatives to the first and
second Congresses, and their implicit devotion
to the Treasury. I think I do good in this,
because it may produce exertions to reform
the evil, on the success of which the form of
the government is to depend.—
To Edmund Randolph. Washington ed. iv, 101.
