帕尔弗里从马太福音二十二章开始讲道.29. 耶稣回答说。
said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of
God”— The error of misunderst和ing, 和 misinterpreting the Scriptures,
is a fruitful topic 为 a sectarian preacher, but it is a weapon equally
可供所有人使用的. 由M表示的误差r 帕尔弗雷，只有那些他
自己没有信仰. 做完礼拜后，我拜访了 Mr 福赛斯.
霍普金森 和我们一起吃饭，
和 according to his engagement came 和 sat with me an hour be为e
dinner— The object of his seeking this conversation with me was the next
总统选举. 他让我明白，他是有意的
consider me as a C和idate 为 that occasion— That others were of
similar disposition; but that it was necessary there should be a concert
和 underst和ing between them, as there already was 和 long had been
在…的党派之间 Mr 克劳福德-他说
extent 和 activity 的ir intrigues was incredible, 和 unless
systematically counteracted, would infallibly be successful— I told Mr 霍普金森，我很清楚
M所做的努力r 克劳福德自己
和他的朋友们来确保总统职位 534在下次选举中. 还有其他人
努力不减热情和毅力 Mr.
克林顿 纽约——还有一个不那么明显的第三方
now, 和 the struggle of which was eventual; to depend upon the issue of
克林顿和克林顿之间的冲突正在该州肆虐 汤普金斯. 国家现在就在附近
equally divided; 和 as there is no marked difference of principle to
contend 为, they are squabbling 为 men— If either party should obtain
over the other such an ascendancy as would carry a large majority 的
State, its leader would be the C和idate of New-York, 为 the
总统. The only question between them will be; which shall be the
man— New-York, at any rate will have a C和idate of her own, 和 if both
these rivals should be out 的 way, she would sooner take up Mr 王,比
resort to any other State— The politics of Pennsylvania, will be greatly
influenced by those of New-York— She too is a divided State, but the
scuffle 为 her 州长 is between men neither of whom has any
prospects in the general Government— She will probably be an accessary
到纽约. 是否有任何政党或个人会支持或
propose me as a C和idate, I could not tell; but even in my own native
State of Massachusetts, the predominating party, the federalists had a
grudge against me, which they would not lose the opportunity of
indulging— To one thing however I had made up my mind— I would take no
one step to advance or promote pretensions to the 总统— If that
office was to be the prize of cabal 和 intrigue, of purchasing
Newspapers, bribing by appointments or bargaining 为 为eign Missions,
我没有买彩票. 我是否有资格
necessary 为 a President 的 United States, was to say the least
very doubtful to myself— But that I had no talent 为 obtaining the
Office by such means was perfectly clear— I had neither talent nor
inclination 为 intrigue— I can do nothing, either to canvass 为
myself, or to counteract the canvassing of others— I will have no
stipendiary editor of Newspapers to extol my talents 和 services, 和
to criticise or calumniate my rivals— I will devote none of my time to
devising laws, to increase my own patronage, 和 multiply canvassers in
my favour— My time is now not sufficient to discharge the duties of my
Office; any part of it which I should spend in ef为ts to make partizans
or to pull down competitors would be an ab和onment of public 为
personal aims— For this, if I had the talent I have not the will; 和 if
我有意志，我没有才能. 霍普金森说，这非常
abstraction from all intrigues would be my principal recommendation—
That 克劳福德 having nothing but intrigue to support him, having
manifested utter incompetency to the very Department with which he is
charged, having never rendered one signal service to the Country, 和
having a st和ing manifesto of 指控 affecting his honour as a
先生，在小册子里 州长
克拉克 反对他，不会有任何结果，除非是纯粹的
want of management in opposing him— That 克林顿 had embroiled himself
too much in the turmoil of his own passions, 和 in his denunciation of
the General Government had completely failed of substantiating his
指控. 他认为汤普金斯的前景也好不到哪里去
deeply involved in debt, 和 stood equivocally be为e the public in
与他的帐目结算有关. Mr 王 had no chance; 和 he thought I was mistaken in
believing that the Massachusetts federalists retained their animosity
against me— And he alluded to the manner in which they had recently
授予杰出荣誉 my
父亲. 他说如果我明年夏天去波士顿，他
hoped I should not entertain this opinion 的 federalists nor express
it; 和 he intimated that 沃尔特
和 黑尔 上星期天是怎样的?
dissatisfied with opinions which I had expressed relative to the trial
的 英国女王;
which he noticed only to mark what seemingly trifling incidents affected
the opinions of men— We pursued this Conversation no further, but this
以及对话 埃里森 还有一些给我警告，告诉我该怎么做
预计. If there has ever been an election of a President 的 United
States without canvassing 和 intrigue, there has been none since that
of my 父亲— There will probably never be another— The materials 为
拉票是 535为
some time have been plentifully offered to me 和 pressed upon me— I
cannot be ignorant 的 consequences of declining these offers; but I
could not accept them with satisfaction to myself or with that
consciousness of right which I never have 为feited, 和 which is dearer
to me than any station to which it is in the power of man, or of Fortune
来抚养我.
