2470. ELECTIONS (Presidential, 1800), Demanding Terms.—

Many attempts have
been made to obtain terms and promises from
me. I have declared to them unequivocally,
that I would not receive the government on
capitulation, that I would not go into it with
my hands tied.—
To James Monroe. Washington ed. iv, 354. Ford ed., vii, 491.
(W. Feb. 1801)
