THIRD-TERK PRECED ENTS.
Washington Not Opposed to It-Adams and
Jefferson Favored 1t.


TO he Editor of The National ReDuJHcan.

no legal objection to it-traditiOnal, unwrt.

law Of tho nnd-in providing the legislative,

which officials under each branch shall be
elected or appointed, but nowhere, directly or
by implication, does it limit the number of
terms that one person may hold any Ollico,
tho number of terms being left to q higher
power--thc people-to determine.
Tho anti-third termors support their ohjoc'
tions upon tho allegation, as it were," that
there Is no precedent for a third term, and
that Washington. Jefferson and other Execu-
tives were opposed to it. Facts dsprovo the
allegations. Washington was elected Presi'
dent for two terms, and did not object to Il
third term ON principle, but declined entering
into struggle for third election on personal
grounds-prolerring the peace and quiet ol
private life. But after years rest at Mt
Vernon, aud in view of hostile complications
with France, President Adams nominated him
and the Senate confirmed him, "Licutenant'
General and Commauder.in' Chief OF all the
armies raised, or to be raised, in tho United
