But he would not have the hard office again. On the 19th of September, 1796, he published to the people a farewell address, quick with the solemn eloquence men had come to expect from him. He wrote to Hamilton and to Madison for advice as te what he should say, as in the old days of iis diffident beginnings in the great office—though Hamilton was the arch- Federalist and Democrat—took Madison was their phrases thought they where turning for his seemed better than his own; put the address’ forth as his mature and last counsel to the dittle nation he loved. “It was designed,” he said, “in a more especial manner for the yeomanry of the country,’ and spoke the advice he hoped they might take to heart. The given he told now circumstances services them, a ment, \ his were unified passed; and which which a temporary they national might 'serve. had value, had govern- them for great ends. He exhorted them to pre serve it intact, and not to degrade it in the using; to put down party spirit, make religion, education and good faith the guides and safeguards of their government, and keep it national and their own by excluding foreign influences and entanglements. ‘Twas a noble document. No thoughtful man could read it without emotion, know- ing how it spoke in all its solemn sen“ences the great character of the man whose career People was ended. Show Their Love.

But formal war did not come. The flurry only kept him a lit‘tle nearer the movements of politics than more crats he cared to be. He was the uneasy to see how the Demobore themselves in the presence of the moment’s peril; doubted the ex: pediency of assigning men of that party to places of command in the army; approved the laws passed against aliens and against those who should utter seditious libel against the gov- ernment; showed again, and without reserve, how deeply his affections were engaged on the side of the institutions he had so labored to set up and protect; was intolerant towards any who sought to touch or question at any point their new authority—imperious as of old in question of ac tion.

Even while he was president, he had stormed to find his horses put to the chariot with unpolished hoofs upon a day of ceremony. But old age, and the consciousness of a lifework done, had added serenity now to his self-control; and at last the end came, when he was ready. On the 12th of December, 1799, he was chilled through by the keen winds and cold rain and sleet that beat upon him as he went his round about the farms. He spent the evening cheerfully, listening to his secretary read; but went to bed with a gathering hoarseness and cold, and woke in the night sharply stricken in his throat.
