A bitter Federalist take on President Jefferson's first year, charging that he has engineered "the establishment of that political persecution and intolerance" which he had disclaimed in his inaugural address. He has ousted from office "men of the utmost respectability" merely because they were Federalists, and sought "to stigmatize" them as a "political sect" and closet monarchists. A master of "calumny," Jefferson seeks the "destruction of the fundamental barriers of the constitution, placed between the legislative and executive departments of the government of the United States."
