In the meantime Congress, petty and jealous, was afraid General Washing- ton might use his too-great popularity to make himself military dictator, if not emperor of the United States. It was objected by that legislative body: "That his influence was already too great ; that even his virtues afforded mo- tives for alarm; that the enthusiasm of 125 HEART of' WASHINGTON the army joined to the kind of dictator- ship already confided to him, put Con- gress and the United States at his mercy; that it
... was not expedient to ex- pose a man of the highest virtue to such temptations." Though his bitterest enemies in the Conway cabal had been discomfited, there were still many in and out of Con- gress who were hostile to Washington.
Not all the people were patriots even in those good old days. Greed, graft, selfishness, and venality prevailed then, and ghouls stood like buzzards, ready to feed upon the apparently dying cause.
Then came the treason of Arnold, who had served his country with signal bravery.
