3433. GENET (E. C.), Washington and.—[continued].

Genet, by more and more
denials of powers to the President and ascribing
them to Congress, is evidently endeavoring
to sow tares between them, and at any event to
curry favor with the latter, to whom he means
to turn his appeal, finding it was not likely to
be well received by the people.—
To James Madison. Washington ed. iv, 83. Ford ed., vi, 450.
(G. Nov. 1793)
