April 3, 1790. Senator William Maclay.

Journal Entry:

Went to the Hall. The minutes were read. A message was received from the President of the United States [Washington]. A report was handed to the Chair.

We looked and laughed at each other for half and hour, and adjourned.

Often, reading about the wild & wooly days of our first 50 years is a great tonic for what ails us today. As bad as it is, the partisanship and animus were far greater then.
