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

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.

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

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
