“When a man unprincipled in private life, desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, despotic in his ordinary demeanor, known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty to take every opportunity of embarrassing the general government, bringing it under suspicion to flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day - it may be justly suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion so that he may ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.”
