Jefferson to obtain an opportunity of shedding his blood, under colour of law, would be revolting to the philanthropist and the patriot, while it would not change public opinion of this philosopher. In October, 1806, Mr. Swartwout delivered to General Wilkinson a letter from Burr, written in cipher. That letter Wilkinson altered, and then deciphered it.
Let me hear that you are seriously engaged in some useful pursuit. Let me see the progressive improvement of your mind, and it will console me for all the evils of life. My young friend Swartwout is still absent, and I suppose at Savannah. It is not probable that I shall see him again before my return to New-York. A Mr. Bartram, of Philadelphia, travelled through Georgia and the Floridas in 1772.
The first was a letter introducing Samuel Swartwout, and vouching for his prudence, courage and trustworthiness. The other two papers were in hieroglyphics. Wilkinson, smiling graciously, turned to the messenger. "Perhaps I had best be alone while I examine the other documents. I will see that you are made comfortable." An officer was summoned. "Captain Danvers, this gentleman is my guest.
The defalcation of Swartwout with over a million dollars from the New York customs' receipts had forced upon President Van Buren the importance of filling such posts with honorable men, instead of political shysters, and Bancroft, though a rather narrow historian, was a gentleman and a scholar.
This letter relates to the suppression of that book, which, although its publication was suspended for a time, was published according to the advice of General John Swartwout and M. L. Davis Sister of Mrs. Madison. Daughter of Commodore James Nicholson, and sister of Mrs. Gallatin. Samuel Osgood, Commissioner of Internal Revenue Washington, February 22, 1802.
In this you have stated, 1st, That Timothy Green, of this city, was despatched as an agent to Columbia, the seat of government of the state of South Carolina, by the vice-president. 2dly, That he was the eulogist and intercessor for the vice-president. 3dly, That he sent the vice-president despatches regularly, addressed to Mr. John Swartwout, of this city, under cover.
"You know the contents of the enclosure?" "Only the general import. The sender of these missives has divulged much to me. You may trust me." "I trust you implicitly, Mr. Swartwout. The embassy on which you come is of a delicate character, requiring discretion as secret service always does." The general opened the package, and found that it contained three separate papers.
When I sat down to write my head was full of totally different matters; but, having gone on so far with road incidents, the other concerns must be omitted. My landlord has just been telling me that Swartwout passed here eight days ago. They were three in the stage, all very apprehensive of being overset, as they were to start at two in the morning.
