He accepted no pay as commander in chief he accepts none as President of the United States. He wrote to the Abbe Raynall and extolled the wisdom, the greatness, and especially the military genius of Washington. During all these years he was a fulsome admirer of our first President. While in France he became a mem- ber of the National Assembly at the time of the French revolution, and was one of the committee that sentenced Louis XVI to be beheaded. Later on he quarreled with Robespierre, who pr...omptly had him thrown into a dungeon. He frantically appealed to Washington to take him out of durance vile, and because the President did not move expeditiously enough to suit Mr. Paine in the matter and It is but fair to state that the President felt that Paine was entirely responsible for his unfortunate predicament, and that having expatri- ated himself and become a citizen of France, this Government was not justified in interfering in his behalf the erratic Thomas penned a villainous letter to the President, which, as a fair example of muck-rake literature, has few equals in the English language.
