"Strange as it might appear to some gentlemen with whom he formerly acted, he affirmed, in the face of the house and his country—'I retain, and ever will, my independence! I have made no provision for myself or family—We are not in the possession of any office; neither cajoled by the reversion of place, nor by the promise of pension—and yet, because I have warmly expressed my abhorrence of the French doctrines, I am pursued and reviled with all the force of rancour and hostility.'"
