6898. PRESIDENCY, Corruption and.—
I sincerely wish we could see our government
so secured as to depend less on the
character of the person in whose hands it is
trusted. Bad men will sometimes get in,
and with such an immense patronage, May
make great progress in corrupting the public
mind and principles. This is a subject with
which wisdom and patriotism should be occupied.—
To Moses Robinson. Washington ed. iv, 380.
