Notes: Review essay of Dwight's History of the Hartford Convention and Sullivan's Familiar Letters. Traces the Democratic party from the anti-federalists and characterizes the party under TJ as party of Liberty, the Federalists led by Hamilton as the party of Law. But since Britain is now on the side of Liberty, "The parties, into which our fathers were divided on the great argument of Liberty and Law, can therefore never be revived ... as it came up before, connected with the policy of Europe and the rival interests of France and England ...." Still worth reading.
