1X.—His CHARACTER up cannons
AGAINST Hm.
Hamilton's private integrity was in
most respects uniinpeaclmblc. Ilis op-
ponents more than once introduced r. 50-
lutions requiring from him information
regarding his financial opt-rations n~ Sic
rotary of the Treasury. but by our
whelming majorities he was each time
acquitted of all irregularities. l-Zvcn
Jefl'erson admitted his honesty and dis-
interestedness in privntc lifc; Madison
wrote that he had left thc czibim-t "with
the word poverty as his lunch" and the
admission of his enemies that he was
compelled to leave the cabinet because
his salary would not support his family
is evidcnce that he did not use his [look
tion for his private gain. Jrficmm,
however, although he admitted the pl‘l~
vote integrity of his rival, considcrcd
him the embodiment of political vil-
lainv, and heaped upon him llic foul
slime of vituperntion. But Marshall. in
his lilo of \Vashington, says that even
the enemies of Hamilton who were pcr-
sonnlly acquainted With him admitted
both his private and public integrity.
Jeflenon charged him with meddling
in the dopnrtrnouts not under his charge,
with corrupting Congress by the forma-
tion of: cabal and by the building up
of a money power, with attempting to
subvert the republic, etc., etc. Yn-
doubtcdly, he did secure lnfotulallnll
from departments over which he had
no charge. For oxample, he success-
fully Ipplied to W'olcott for informa-
tion from the treasury department to
custnin hin attack upon Adams. His
methods were not always above ro-
ptoach; in fact, he confessed that it
would be considered improper to securc
information as above from Wolcott.
Again, he once tried to induce “'nsb-
ington to make a Southern clcctionecr-
ing tour under the prctn-nse of poor
health. In his zeal for party succrss,
which to him. was synonymous with Na.
tionnl prosperity, he ndopted the motto
that the end justifies the means: and
yet positive corruption has ncvcr
been proved against him, but only acts
sometimes inconsistent with the highest
sense of honor. and to which the best
men of nil ages have often resorted.
Parlor! charges him with giosa licen-
tiousneu: but this charge is greatly
ovvrdruwn. There is ground, howcver,
to believe that Hamilton was not wholly
blnmelus. Admiring biographers have
tried to draw a veil over the "Reynolds
flair” by claiming that his relations
with Mn. Reynolds arose from a con-
spiracy to amaze him into improper in.
My with her, blacken his cbamctcr

ton'l intelligence and firmness, howov.
unhonldhuve been proof against in-
trigue and female charms. An impar-
tinl pan must record his faults with his
merltl, diadnining to hide blots in any
m'l chmcter under the mantle of
(not public services. Fake, indeed, is
the modesty that would induce the ad-
vocate of I blnmeless life to hasten over
this epoch in Hcmllton‘a life. As the
light from the lofty tower warns the

Ilia influcncc ovcr men was poworful.
During his public Ma, and long after his
n‘tircmcnt from the cabinet, no one bud
grunts-r influcncc. He was thin innin-
spring, thc mindnlie soul, of the chcral
party. Ycars after his dcaih, Jclfcrson
continually pcrumificd that party by
saying that “llumilmu” dzd this or pro-
posed that. ills almost :ilmwliun suuy

“Hamilton." he says, “had that supcrlxr
tivc confidence in himself, that un-
boundi-d sclfrstccm, which in tho \vcuk
pnwukcs dcrisou, in the strong inspires
confidcnce. The position of dictator
was conceded to him by his party, partly
because of his rcal ability and partly be-
cause tlmsc Wow the only lcrms on
which his cooperation could be secured."
llis charming conversation, his spark-
ling wit and his good humor, nll tcndcd
to the superficial popularity oftcn seen
in society. But this popularity wus sim-
ply an auxiliary to thcgcuuinc influcnce
which lie cxerciscd over Incu who appre-
ciated invincible urgumcnt and pro-
found staicsmunship. Too proud to
sock a. rubble popularity, he runkn for

without yielding principle to subscrvi-

hard for him at first to apprehend the
drift. of_such uqueutiou, but at last. he an-
swered very simply that his change was
not due to an sermons or recent (imam
but. to his moi ier. To his mother. She
bud been dead so long that few remem-
bered what manner of mother he had.
Sliohad been in her grave more than
forty years. The oldest elder present
had never seen her—bad, in fact, never
heard of her. Sho had died in the bloom
of her beauty and maturity when he won
a boy of six years. Thus the wonder

hristiau woman, a fruit of the great lu-
gathcriug of Samuel Davies in the col-
onial days, and one had begun to instruct
her oldest born in the truth. He stated
that now. if he was Chriat‘s, it was the
power of these teachings over his infant
mind, and eapeciully of the dying scene
which was the true inntrumont of bring-
ing him back. without which Ill other
instruments would hove boon futile.
