Letter : Monticello, to Judge William Johnson, Charleston, S.C., 1823 June 12.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32144750

Jefferson states his pleasure that Johnson has "resolved on continuing your history of parties.' The letter is evidently in reply to an earlier letter by Johnson requesting information. Letter discusses the principles and objectives of the Federalist and Republican parties, state rights, the "question whether the Supreme Court has advanced beyond its constitutional limits, and trespassed on those of the State authorities," decisions of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall in regard to federal and state authority, authorship of George Washington's farewell address, and other matters. Jefferson suggests two general principles to follow in cases involving a conflict between federal and state authority.
