APRIL 16-21, 1802
Dear Sir.
Your letter of the 12th inst. has relieved me from some
apprehension. Yet it is well that it should be perfectly understood by the
truly sound part of the Federalists, that there do in fact exist intrigues
in good earnest, between several individuals not unimportant, of the
Federal Party, and the person in question; which are bottomed upon motives
& views, by no means auspicious to the real welfare of the country. I am
glad to find that it is in contemplation to adopt a plan of conduct. It is
very necessary; & to be useful it must be efficient & comprehensive in the
means which it embraces, at the same time that it must meditate none which
are not really constitutional & patriotic. I will comply with Your
invitation by submitting some ideas which from time to time have passed
through my mind. Nothing is more fallacious than to expect to produce any
valuable or permanent results, in political projects, by relying merely on
the reason of men. Men are rather reasoning tha[n] reasonable animals for
the most part governed by the impulse of passion. This is a truth well
understood by our adversaries who have practised upon it with no small
benefit to their cause. For at the very moment they are eulogizing the
reason of men & professing to appeal only to that faculty, they are
courting the strongest & most active passion of the
human heart --VANITY!
It is no less true that the Federalists seem not to have attended
to the fact sufficiently; and that they erred in relying so much oil the
rectitude & utility of their measures, as to have neglected the cultivation
of popular favour by fair & justifiable expedients. The observation has
been repeatedly made by me to individuals with whom I particularly
conversed & expedients suggested for gaining good will which were never
adopted. Unluckily however for us in the competition for the passions of
the people our opponents have great advantages over us; for the plain
reason, that the vicious are far more active than the good passions, and
that to win the latter to our side
we must renounce our principles & our objects, [?] unite in corrupting
public opinion till it becomes fit for nothing but mischief. Yet unless we
call contrive to take hold of & carry along with us some strong feelings of
the mind we shall in vain calculate upon any substantial or durable
results. Whatever plan We may adopt, to be successful must be founded on
the truth of this proposition. And perhaps it is not very easy for us to
give it full effect; especially not without some deviations from what on
other occasions we have maintained to be right. But in determining upon the
propriety of the deviations, we must consider whether it be possible for us
to succeed without in some degree employing the weapons which have been
employed against us, & whether the actual state & future prospect of
things, be not such as to justify the reciprocal use of them. I need not
fell you that I do not mean to countenance the imitation of things
intrinsically unworthy, but only of such as may be denominated irregular,
such as in a sound & stable order of things ought not to exist. Neither are
you to infer that ally revolutionary result is contemplated. In my opinion
the present Constitution is the standard to which we are to cling. Under
its banners, bona fide must we combat our political foes--rejecting all
changes but through the channel itself provides for amendments. By these
general views of the subject have my reflections been guided. I now offer
you the outline of the plan which they have suggested. Let an Association
be formed to be denominated, "The Christian Constitutional Society." It's
objects to be
1st The support of the Christian Religion.
2nd The support of the Constitution of the United States.(1)
Its Organization.
1st A directing council consisting of a President & 12 Members, of
whom 4 & the President to be a quorum.
2nd A sub-directing council in each State consisting of a Vice-
President & 12 Members, of whom 4 with the Vice-President to be a quorum &
3rd As many societies in each State, as local circumstances may permit to
be formed by the Sub-directing council.
The Meeting at Washington to Nominate the President & Vice-President
together with 4 Members of each of the councils, who are to complete their
own numbers respectively.
Its Means.
1st The diffusion of information. For this purpose not only the
Newspapers but pamphlets must be la[r]gely employed & to do this a fund
must be created. 5 dollars annually for 8 years, to be contributed by each
member who can really afford it, (taking care not to burden the less able
brethren) may afford a competent fund for a competent time. It is
essential to be able to disseminate gratis useful publications. Whenever
it can be done, & there is a press, clubs should be formed to meet once a
week, read the newspapers & prepare essays paragraphs &ct.
2nd The use of all lawful means in concert to promote the election
of fit men. A lively correspondence must be kept up between the different
Societies.
3rd The promoting of institutions of a charitable & useful nature
in the management of Federalists. The populous cities ought particularly to
be attended to. Perhaps it will be well to institute in such places 1st
Societies for the relief of Emigrants---
2nd. Academies each with one professor for instructing the
different Classes of Mechanics in the principles of Mechanics & Elements of
Chemistry. The cities have been employed by the Jacobins to give an
impulse to the country. And it is believed to be an alarming fact, that
while the question of Presidential Election was pending in the House of
R's. parties were organized in several of the Cities, in the event of
there being no election, to cut off the leading Federalists & sieze the
Government.(3) An Act of association to be drawn up in concise general
terms. It need only designate the "name" "objects" & contain an engagement
to promote the objects by all lawful means, and particularly by the
diffusion of Information.(4) This act to be signed by every member.
The foregoing to be the principal Engine. In addition let measures be
adopted to bring as soon as possible the repeal of the Judiciary law (5)
before the Supreme Court. Afterwards, if not before, let as many
Legislatures as can be prevailed upon, instruct their Senators to endeavour
to procure a repeal of the repealing law. The body of New-England speaking
the same language will give a powerful impulse. In Congress our friends to
propose little, to agree candidly to all good measures, & to resist &
expose all bad. This is a general sketch of what has occurred to me. it is
at the service of my friends for so much as it may be worth. With true
esteem & regard
Dr Sir Yours AH
FOOTNOTES:
(1). For some of H's earlier statements indicating his willingness to
employ religious ideas to achieve political objectives, see H to Timothy
Pickering, March 23, 1797; H to William Loughton Smith, April to, 1797;
"The Stand, No. III," April 7, 1798· From 1748 to 1802 the only references
to Christianity which have been found in his correspondence concern the
deaths of his son Philip and his sister-in-law Margarita Van Rensselaer.
See H to Elizabeth Hamilton, March 16, 1801; Benjamin Rush to H, November
26, 1801; H to Rush, March 19, 1802; John Dickinson to H, November 30,
1801; H to Dickinson, March 29, 1801; James McHenry to H, December 4, 1801;
George W. P. Custis to H, December 5, 1801; Charles Cotesworth Pinckney to
H, December 5, 1801; Rufus King to H, January it, 1801.
Historians who have written about the Christian Constitutional
Society, including Allan McLane Hamilton, Broadus Mitchell, and Douglass
Adair and Marvin Harvey, agree that H's plan was for the most part an
extension of his earlier attempt to use religion as a political device to
counteract what he considered revolutionary ideas and activities al the
United States during the late seventeen-nineties (Hamilton, Intimate Life,
334-335; Mitchell, Hamilton, II, 513-14; Adair and Harvey, "Was Alexander
Hamilton a Christian Statesman?" The Williams and Mary Quarterly, 3rd
ser., XII, no. 2 [April, 1955], 308-29). These historians have also tried
to explain why in 1802 H proposed that religion be employed as a political
weapon. Allan McLane Hamilton believes that H turned to religion because of
his "fear for the future welfare of his country," and Mitchell states that
"Hamilton was returning to his early sacred beliefs, from which his
attention had long been distracted by the public tasks he had in hand."
Adair and Harvey, who have devoted more attention to this problem than
other scholars, conclude that H was motivated by a combination of his
earlier political attitudes as well as by genuine religious beliefs which
developed after his loss of power in the Federalist party and the death of
his son Philip in 1801.
