l> Executive influences ptcfcnb i
iDcnt of the Hancock Grand
]ury. approbating Executive
mcaiurcs.
I conceive it therefore a duty
I owe to the Office 1 hold, to
the conllituted authorities of my
country, and to my fellow-citi
zens at large, to call on you in
your judicial capacity, to pro
duce your proofs, that cither of
the preferments you have allu
ded to, in Burke or Hancock,
proceeded from, or wej eat tempt
ed to be carried dirc&ly or indi
rectly by Executive influence , and
I challenge every Grand Juror
on both thofe occafions to Tap
pert you in your proof. If you
produce thole proofs, I am ready
to meet the confute of the com
munity—but if you fail , I hope
your effertions will not be receiv
ed as judicial convithon , and I
(hall leave it for public deter
mination whether your attack
on the Executive Department,
has proceeded from purity of
judicial conduft, or from poli
tical motives—which in a Judge
is monflrous—from refentrnent,
or from envy.
As to the merit of the prefent
Executive not being of Hcrling
value, and having too much
alloy in it, I (ball not found my
own praife by judging of it, but
I § believe that the perfon now j
holding the appointment, will
never have occafion to blufh on i
n companion of his adminiflra
lion, with that of the mock one:
of 1779, or the more expenhvc;
feene of 1789 —And as to the
prefent adminiftration’s being a
temporary evil, I have only to
obferve, that your political
charges will never drive me one
jot from my public courfe—but
I believe that when I retire from
public life, I (hall do fowith as
much fatisfa&ion as you have
evinced at getting into office,
although not with the fame ex
alted ideas of my former ufeful
nefs or importance,

Your obedient fervant,
