It would be satisfactory if mr Newton would state something more than the names of his candidates, such as their residence, character, politics, standing in society, and if he would say which if any is preferable to mr Calvert. can you have an opportunity of consulting him.

53From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 26 March 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Madison happening to call on me just now, I consulted him on the subject of Hoffman’s letter. we both think it would be neither just nor expedient that supplies necessary to the existence of the Indians should be cut off from them; and that if no construction of the embargo law will permit the passage of their commerce, and if that law could, & did intend to controul the treaty (the last...
54From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 21 June 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
the revival of antient slanders under pretext of new evidence, has induced Th:J. to do, what he never took the trouble of doing before, to revise some papers he happens to have here (for most of that date are at Monticello) and to make a statement of the transactions as they really took place, with a view that they shall be known to his friends at least. under this view he taxes mr Gallatin...

I inclose you the financial paragraph with your amendments. I shall insert one on the militia, but doubt whether I can say any thing about the deficiency of the revenue if the embargo is continued, having declined expressing any opinion on it’s continuance. the whole of the paragraphs respecting our foreign affairs will be to be remodelled in consequence of the return of the Hope. the...

Your own opinion & that of the Atty Genl. are sufficient authorities to me to approve of prosecuting in the case of the Schooner Sally. and I will candidly add that my judgment also concurs. the handcuffs & bolts are palpable testimonials of the intention of the voyage, & the concealment of them, & their omission in the statement of the cargo, strengthens the proof. the traffic too is so...
64From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 10 July 1805 (Jefferson Papers)
The inclosed letter merits serious attention. notwithstanding the favorable opinion I have hitherto entertained of Symonds. when facts are specified & the persons named who can prove them, I do not see that we can avoid instituting some enquiry. tho’ the writer keeps his own name back, it is impossible but that the letter would shew there who was the writer, and he might thus be obliged to...

70From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 25 November 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
It seems I think that a pardon may be justly expected in the inclosed case. but the practice we have followed is a sound one, to let the matter go to a jury that facts may be proved & disclosed; & after that only, to determine the question of pardon. the practice of Nolle prosequi is to be avoided but in extraordinary cases. I once agreed to one in a case of manslaughter by surprise, & of...

The more I consider the letter of our Ministers in London the more seriously it impresses me. I believe the sine qua non we made is that of the nation, and that they would rather go on without a treaty than with one which does not settle this article. under this dilemma, and at this stage of the business, had we not better take the advice of the Senate? I ask a meeting at 11. oclock tomorrow...

Would it not be better to direct the application to be made to the present judge, in order to have the practice in Maryland brought to an uniformity with that of the other states. probably if the present judge were informed what has been the opinion and practice of every other district judge in the Union except his predecessor, he would be disposed to respect more the former than the latter...

I return you the letter of mr Gelston respecting the Brutus. from what I learn she cannot be destined for the Misipi because she draws too much water to enter it. however considering the difficulty Congress finds in enlarging the limits of our preventive powers, I think we should be cautious how we step across those limits ourselves. she is probably bound to St. Domingo. could not Congress,...
