6178. OFFICE-HOLDERS, Removals.—[further continued] .

I am aware that the
necessity of a few removals for legal oppressions,
delinquencies, and other official
malversations, may be misconstrued as done
for political opinions, and produce hesitation
in the coalition so much to be desired; but
the extent of these will be too limited to
make permanent impressions.—
To General Henry Knox. Washington ed. iv, 386. Ford ed., viii, 36.
(W. March. 1801)
