"Having been appointed to the House of Representatives, I find myself desperately needing a drink of fine spirits. I would prefer my own vintage."
August 26, 1790
"I have submitted a bill of my own design, although I suspect it will not be considered during the current session. Should I be deigned to be elected to the next session, I will need to properly lobby support for its passage. American shipping must be protected and our spirits need to be developed to fully compete with French wine and British liquors. I love American whiskeys, nearly as much as the common man. They work hard and we should ensure that a bottle of wine is ultimately priced more highly than that of whiskey."

"The Maryland Gazette saw fit to publish my thoughts in support of a national bank today. I hope the words are found to be popular. It pains my soul that the most read newspaper in Maryland are published in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania."
August 28, 1790
"I assumed to provide insult towards the intelligence of a Democrat-Republican today. It was not my preferred method of diplomacy, yet as he had saw fit to question another Democrat-Republican of great prominence on the matter of the new national government to assume debts incurred in the war, it seemed the only satisfactory way of approaching the matter. Our constitution is clear on the matter of being able to assume debts. To question that is as foolish as questioning the authority of the national government to form a navy."
