1593. CONGRESS, Stock-jobbers in.—[continued].
I told President Washington
that my wish was to see both Houses
of Congress cleansed of all persons interested
in the bank or public stocks; and that
a pure Legislature being given us, I should
always be ready to acquiesce under their determinations,
even if contrary to my own
opinions; for that I subscribe to the principle,
that the will of the majority, honestly
expressed, should give law.—
The Anas. Washington ed. ix, 131.
