S.; little hope of getting it granted because of the opposition of Congress; complains that the House of Representatives is denied participation in the consideration of Jay's treaty; his views on the treaty-making powers of the two houses; the treaty itself has no reciprocity and would be a destructive bargain for the country; he urges the importance of electing Republicans to the State legislature.
