Underthese circumstances, he ceases to be a subject for the ebullition ofthe passions, and passes into a character for the contemplation ofhistory. Historically, then, shall I view him; and limiting this viewto his civil administration, I demand, where is there a ChiefMagistrate of whom so much evil has been predicted, and from whom somuch good has come? Never has any man entered upon the ChiefMagistracy of a country under such appalling predictions of ruin andwoe! never has any one been so pur...sued with direful prognostications!never has any one been so beset and impeded by a powerful combinationof political and moneyed confederates! never has any one in any countrywhere the administration of justice has risen above the knife or thebowstring, been so lawlessly and shamelessly tried and condemned byrivals and enemies, without hearing, without defence, without the formsof law and justice! History has been ransacked to find examples oftyrants sufficiently odious to illustrate him by comparison.
