The Correspondence of Thomas Jefferson
By Subject
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT / MOVED TO PHILADELPHIA
A motion has been -made in the Senate to remove the Federal
Government to Philadelphia. There was a trial of strength on a
question for a week's postponement. On that it was found there would
be eleven for the removal, and thirteen against it. The motion was
therefore withdrawn and made in the other house, where it is still
depending, and of very uncertain event.
to Thomas Mann Randolph, 30 May 1790
