conceive themselves conscientiously called upon to act under such circumstances. During the last Administration such a collision of opinion I believe scarcely ever happened, or at least was not such as the Parties felt themselves obliged to push to extremities, but still it is possible, & the only remedy applicable to it, is solely in the principle which I have explained.
In a conversation of two days, which involved in it the discussion of such a variety of topics, it is impossible to give you more than an abstract, or very general outline of the heads of our conversation. I have made it merely a recital, not intermix'd with any comments, opinions, or suggestions of my own. You expressed a wish to hear form me without any delay, & trust the explanation I have given you is perfectly sufficient to convey to you such a view of the subject as may enable you to draw your own conclusion & regulate your own determination
