American politician (1769-1828) who served as senator and who, as governor of New York, played a major role in the construction of the Erie Canal. Autograph letter, one page, 8 x 9.75, December 1817. Letter to General James Tallmadge. In part: "An indefinite support of…an administration is…anti-patriotic and generally unprincipled. If a member is to follow implacably the Presidential track, where is his independence as a legislator and a man! The Cabinet, as it is called, will be the main thing that will propel the whole machinery of Government. Rely upon it that a war with Spain will terminate in a war with G.B. I consider the independence of L. America as connected with the cardinal interests of mankind.” Second integral page bears a free franked address panel in an unknown hand. Intersecting folds, Clinton’s name printed in pencil at the bottom, also in an unknown hand, several brushes to text and mild toning, otherwise fine condition.
