1American Jacobins, [1795–1796] (Hamilton Papers)
For the Minerva It is remarkable how uniform our Jacobins have been in blaming and vilifying our own Government and in excusing and justifying the conduct of the French towards us. Before there was ever the pretence of any subject of complaint against this Country France violated that article of her Treaty with us which stipulates that free ships shall make free goods. —This breach of Treaty...
2Relations with France, [1795–1796] (Hamilton Papers)
There are circumstances, which render it too probable that a very delicate state of things is approaching between the United States and France. When threatened with foreign danger, from whatever quarter, it is highly necessary that we should be united at home; and considering our partiality hitherto for France, it is necessary towards this Union, that we should understand what has really been...
31795. (Adams Papers)
Mr. Meredith at Mr. Vaughans explained to me his Method. He takes a first Crop of Clover early: then breaks up the Ground, cross ploughs and harrows it. Then plants Potatoes. He only ploughs a furrow, drops the Potatoes a foot a sunder and then covers them with another furrow. He ploughs now and then between these Rows: but never hoes. As soon as the Season comes for sowing his Winter Barley:...
4Enclosure: A Description of the Monument Consecrated to Liberty, 1795 (Washington Papers)
THE GODDESS of LIBERTY is represented descending in a car drawn by four horses, darting through a volume of clouds, which conceals the summit of a rainbow.—Her form is at once expressive of dignity and grace.—In her right hand she brandishes a flaming dart, which, by dispelling the mists of Error, illuminates the universe; her left is extended in the attitude of inviting the people of America...

Consul Bond has just notified me, that he has a draft upon me for 660 dollars, due to-day. I have 400, and am anxious to be precise in time with him.

7To James Madison from Edmund Randolph, [January–April?] 1795 (Madison Papers)
My mind has been occupied with the subject, upon which we conversed. It is immense, critical, and may form an important epoch. Think precisely & extensively upon it, and let me hear from you. I find, that what I expected to have been done was not. My note in Bond’s hands was paid; but the money was not delivered by the person, who ought to have done it, and consequently the money was advanced...

10To John Adams from Joseph Priestley, January 1795 (Adams Papers)
I take the opportunity of my son’s going to Philadelphia to once more to beg your concurrence in the attempts we are making to remove several disadvantages we at present labour under in this place. A petition to incorporate the town is now I understand before Congress, or perhaps the state of Pennsylvania. This I suppose will pass without difficulty. But what I particuly wish your kind...
