instead of his usual speech, transmitted a written message to the legislature that had assembled at Poughkeepsie, January 6th. In this document he made the first recommendation for appropriations for the improvement and encouragement of the common schools of the State. The council of appointment consisted of Richard Hat- field of Westchester, William Powers of Columbia and Jacobus Van Schoonhoven of Albany, Federalists, and Joseph Hasbrouck of 'Ulster, a Republican who was chosen by a unanimous vote.
-
It was during this session of the legislature that Governor Clinton formally declared his intention to retire to private life. He had passed nearly thirty of his fifty-six years of life in office. Subjoined is the address as it appeared in the Albany Gazette, January 30, 1795:
To the freeholders of the State of New York:
Fellow citizens: It having been for a considerable time my inten- tion to decline being a candidate at the ensuing election for gov- ernor, I have tho't proper to communicate it to you in this public manner, in order that those who might have been disposed to honor jme with their suffrages, may have an early opportunity of turning their attention to another person.
To those who know the declining condition of my health, it will 1 be unnecessary to state any reasons for this determination. For (nearly thirty years, I have been employed, without intermission, in different elective offices, which for the greater part of the time have engrossed my whole attention: and I now find it essential to the re-establishment of my health, and feel myself required by the duties I owe to my family, to withdraw from a station never solic- ted by me, which I excepted* with diffidence, and from which I shall retire with pleasure.
* So in original .- STATE HISTORIAN.

It has been my invariable object to promote and cherish the re- publican system of government, as well from a sense of duty as from a full conviction that it is the only one calculated for the happiness and dignity of men. That I may have frequently erred in this pur- suit, I readily admit; and I sincerely wish that my successors, with intentions equally pure, and with the same object in view, may be more successful.
I cannot conclude without expressing to you the warmest emo- tions of a grateful heart for the repeated and signal proofs of your confidence and affection, and for the efficient aid and support ren- dered to my administration, as well in the perilous and gloomy scenes of the revolution as in the auspicious period of peace and national prosperity.

JOHN JAY, GOVERNOR.
The retirement of Governor Clinton encouraged the Federalists with the hope of victory at the forthcoming gubernatorial election, in April. There is no doubt that next to Clinton in popular esteem stood John Jay. Many of Alexander Hamilton's friends urged him to accept the nomination for governor, but Hamilton adhered to his determination not to run for any important elective office. Jay at the time was in England acting as the special envoy of this country to remonstrate with the British government against repeated violations of the treaty of 1783. The celebrated Jay treaty was signed November 19, 1794, but its contents were not known in this country until July 2, 1795, three months after the State election. In the meantime Jay had been nominated by the Federalists for governor and the patroon Stephen Van Rensselaer, of Albany, for lieutenant governor, at a legislative caucus. At the election held in April, 1795, these gentlemen were elected over the Republican candidates, Chief Justice Yates and William Floyd. Two days after the state board of canvassers announced the result of the election, May 26, Jay arrived at New York from the Court of St. James. July 1, 1795, he was sworn in as governor. He had resigned his office as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States June 29.
No event in our history so disturbed the public peace and threat- ened the very foundation of our government as the treaty which Judge Jay negotiated with the English government. The treaty had been received by the Secretary of State March 7, 1795. In con- fformity with the call of the president. the Senate met June 8 and the treaty with the documents connected with it was submitted. A resolution was promptly adopted imposing secrecy, but on June 26, two days after the Senate by a bare constitutional vote ratified it conditionally, the injunction of secrecy was removed, and Senators

were merely enjoined against authorizing or allowing any copy of the document or of any part of it. Vague mutterings and malig- nant criticisms against the treaty had already been heard and the public mind was rapidly approaching that inflammatory stage where reason is unavailing. Through a breach of Senatorial courtesy, an abstract was furnished to the editor of the Philadelphia Aurora, Benjamin Franklin Bache, who had been the most virulent critic of the Federalists and the administration, and whose vitriolic pen often turned upon Washington himself, with unsparing severity. ' The Republicans were fully organized, while the Federalists were wholly unprepared for the contest which was now to sweep the country with an intolerance and a malignancy surprising and unrea- sonable. Opposition to the treaty had been insidiously engendered by the Jacobins by the mysterious manner in which the negotiations had been conducted and for the mysterious secrecy which marked the Senate's deliberations. The fact that it had been considered behind closed doors, that the Senators had been pledged to secrecy, that the sympathy of the administration was pro-English, and that the attitude of the president was uncertain and not known by his most intimate friends, added fuel to the excitement that was now raging furiously. Englishmen were insulted, and the English flag was torn down and trampled in mud. In Philadelphia an effigy of Jay was placed in the pillory and when finally removed was guil- lotined, the apparel burned, the body blown up. In Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston and many other cities, meetings were held and the treaty and Jay violently denounced. In Albany a riot occurred on Green street between the Republicans and Fed- eralists, and several persons were seriously injured. In New York, at a great public meeting, Alexander Hamilton attempted a defence of the treaty, and to stay violent prejudices by argument and reason,

and was driven from the contest by the jeers of the mob and a volley of stones, one of which struck him on the forehead. "In the face of such striking arguments I must retire," he is reported to have said. The whole tumult was wild and irrational. Of the people who were condemning Jay and the treaty, a very small per cent. had any conception what it all meant, and a smaller percentage had not ever read the treaty. It was unreasonable that a document carrying many complex problems of international importance that could only be worked out by the statesman in the quiet of his library should be thoroughly comprehended by the mob without examination. The friends of the administration divined the objective point of the oppo- sition and rallied their forces in defence; for petitions by the score and letters by the hundred were pouring in upon Washington to influence him against approving the treaty. Hamilton, Rufus King, then one of the Senators from New York, and Jay are responsible for the " Camillus " letters, which defended the treaty, which sup- ported the administration, and which, in the course of the year, effectively accomplished the purpose for which they were prepared. to convert public sympathy in favor of the treaty and its author. The majority of these papers was written by Hamilton, a few by King, Jay lending the great weight of his knowledge as counsellor.
