That this gentleman [President John Adams] ought not to be the object
of the federal wish, is, with me, reduced to demonstration. His administration
has already very materially disgraced and sunk the government. There
are defects in his character which must inevitably continue to do
this more and more. And if he is supported by the federal party,
his party must in the issue fall with him.
-- Alexander Hamilton, Letter to Charles Carroll, July 1, 1800
