But more than all this was the rivalry of little great men and second- rate politicians, who foresaw that their petty importance would be obscured by the power of real talent, which must be brought into action to support the general government. To bring the mass of the people to right views and decided action on this point required a power of persuasion and instruction and a mass of talent, such as, I presume, was never before nor since exerted before any people. At that time there resided in H...artford, John Trumbull, author of McFingal ; Col. David Humphries, Oliver Wolcott, Joel Barlow and my uncle ; and a few years later Theodore Dwight, Richard Alsop and others.
