.Fiscelilaueoes8. Fromt Uw Charleston, Mercury. CLAENDSO, Sept 1. To John A. Stuart. k.sq. De~ar dirc-t reveivvd yours thi Morn ing, anu hastily cotmily with your Irndly) suggestion, to allot% tile use of tWly name .11'. autlhrity, to correct sone ofinose tonet ous misstaittitemi of my conduct and opin io, which have alppealted in so mnlany Wtolnymttouis C-nrtlnttications inl the Press. From the patnse whicl a short time siot intervened in the discusbion ol the Gubter natbori:jl election. I had hoped that a tone of tnoderatiotn and good temper, which ouam to prevail ont all occasiots, and wahieti has hitherto prevailcd (an this soutbject, wouild chnracterise tie remaitnder of ite Caavass. But it this I have been greatly disappoin ted. Accutations lstapp ortmig the "Pro clamnation and tle Foarce Bull" have contin Ued to be tallCed agamnst tie, without rea son, and without proof-while auonymous appeals to detine miy past and present posi tiu, would shew that all the usual devices of erviu and hunting down a man, have been put t full atd active retlnisitiitn. In the same spirit I have been charged with having been opiosed to the Independent Treasury System, because I voted with the majority of our Dolegales int Congress to postpone flur a iew weeks the furtlier consideration ofta verv imperleel Bill, with a view to add those saltary tmodifications -whilt it ha-, since received, and which the abrupt termintiation of a s!tort session of ix weeks, and the protracted distssion of the opiposaiott, allowed io opportulity at that t ine of itmrodtmCtg. ILapipily for ny justdicationt, any aplproval of the objects and principles of tla: measure, new and startling as they were to miany others, was well known to a portion of nmy cot leagues-to thc ad ministration itselft-(and above all, to mlly const it u els) tt have been as decidet then, as it is now; aid the opent and zealous manner in which I deemed it my duty to advocate it before the People I had the honor to represent, liaces my opinions onl that subject beyond the doubts or ie~liuatlions tf aty mnti. I %wib not etiect istensiihtlity to taccusa tious of this kind, tanjust and ungenerous as they tty hlet aid I trust never to arrive to that s tate of' -Itoical letfectiun, in I woubl feel udiffereu to thte tan .a umc hy Condutt( and lrintciples -A I' etI Cor discussetd, by the Peo - kid. ,a ,:rt;liina. Neither to I com a*if I knoIw myself, would I wish ': suit means. the Siate shall ie en ad thle b,::te:-tolchoose her Chief Mags irate-the gtaini will more tHian countertnal snce the inconvenience or pain inflicted in the Canvass, oil anty of her citizens. If I utiderstandil the drift of the Policy of those who are so elaborately criticising my past political course, it is, by awaking up the bitter feelings which once dividetd and agitated ibe State, to use themn to tuy disadvantage. \\ here the consequences of this appetal to old party prejudices, to be limited to this comparitively tuiimportant otject,-I should have but little objectaui to urge. But there is no rule of exelusaou that could be derived from so dangerous and desperate an expedieti, that would not apply with egtta lorre and justice, to the whole class of citizens n ith whom,1 I deemed it mty duty ot that occasion to co operate. The strife of 32 and '33. passed away some seven years since. New poulical quest ions; inivolvinig newv poht teal a u ties. have arisen. Met have bteen tbrowtn to gether, who were formterly assunder;-antd those who were united, tromt thte samte causes and influences, have been seperated from each other. This is, as it 5hould te. To allow past political dliflerences, to turn us a..ide frotm the duty of the present, is to sacrifice our country to otir cenmaes-und I envy not the feehangs tof thos.e whot can stoop ov-er thte slumxbertmg einabers oft otl party feuds, and by ratkitig in their ashes, idtlc up) a flamte, lay which thteir p;atczal opponents may be blackenud or defoirmeda -but the State be di' ided, weakenead, andt distracted. If to forgive. whetn wronagedl, is the dictate oif our noble convictions; how much more obvionts the duty of forgettitng piast udifferenlces of opintion maerely, whent newV questlotns ai d~angerous assautlts UPON our rihts, appeal to outr parrionsa, for harmo. .v and co-operation. Iintdtness, generosity 'antd matgnanimlity, have ever characterised our noblte State itt her coan duct towards her pubalic 5ervanats; and she cannot now be dra;ged down froma her old and honored customt itn this high respect. llonesty of ptirpose-fidelity to her ier ests-zeal for her honor, are tall that she asks of her sonsl, antd should the'y haive on - fered as to thte mecasure btest catlcultdcc to maintain hter dear bought litterties, shte wi not dishonor themt ott that aiccount, wvith the most ignoble doom iwih can heo it flicted ont a treemian, perpetual atad pre meditated aexclusiotn fromu her conlidence and her services. In the controversy of 32 and 33 I dare not suppiose that I was without foult- li" tintes ol high party aecitemienlt the wisest andt the cotilest heuds atre lial tta unoni sciousa perversian.
