Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appendix to the Eighth Edition of the Olive Branch: Or, Faults on Both Sides, Federal and Democratic; A Serious Appeal on the Necessity of Mutual Forgiveness and Harmony The very great public favour and indulgence extended to the Olive Branch, enables me to lay it for the eighth time before my fellow citizens, in a little more than two years and a half from its first appearance. The contemplation of this work affords me three sources of as high gratification as can be enjoyed by a rational being, actuated by liberal or public-spirited motives: - the satisfaction, whereof nothing can deprive me, of having employed the slender talents I possess, in the most sincere and ardent efforts to serve this country; - the belief, founded on the concurring opinions of numbers of our best citizens, that those efforts have not been wholly unsuccessful; and, finally, the general appreciation of those efforts and their results, to their utmost extent - and probably far beyond it. Greater good fortune cannot attend any intellectual production. It is a truly rich reward, and far exceeds all the calculations, that could have been previously formed by the most extravagantly sanguine temper. To this Edition various additions have been made. They are written in the same independent style as the former part of the work. I feel as little disposed as ever to sacrifice the cause of truth at the shrine of party or faction. A respectable gentleman, of federal politics, has given as his opinion, that though I struck both parties severely, yet I struck the federalists with the right hand, and the democrats with the left - and, as a man can strike harder with the right hand than with the left, that I was more severe upon the former than the latter. If this be true, as it probably is, a satisfactory reason can be given for it, wholly free from any sinister intention.
