To the Editor* of tkr /inquirer.
Sncfctssuuny, (N. J.)bjrpt. J82&
A few days before Commodore Porter left
this country far Mexico, he sent me a letter
containing an explicit avowal of the motives
that would govern htm in nuceptlngthe offer*
of the government of Mexico, if he should
Hccept tjte Siini?'( and the circumstances
which would impel him to bccome an exile
from his country.
I owe it tt Commodore Porter, that the
people of the. United Stages should l?e in
formed of these motives and circumstances!
--a duty I can perform in no way more sa
tisfactory to the pubjlc or to my own feelings,
than liy sending yat copy of his letter for
publication. 1 am urged to the immediate
performance of this duty, by perceiving that
certain Editors of Newspapers, attribute to
the Commodore motives of a mercenary
character^ leaving the service of his coun
try, and entering that of Mexico.
1 am, with great respect, your
Ob't and very humble serv't.

Mt Wkah Him:-?T have been prevented
by a variety of circumstances from replying
to your highly esteemed tavor of the 12th

Bp assured, Sir, that the Interest you have
taken in my concerns, ami the wishes and sen

become an exile from my country, and from
a service, among the offfcers of which, there
i? but one who has served as long ?s myself.

1 have met wit
fellow cHiscna in
Ueve that I urn iui Injured man, and many
gentlemen hi Congress. have Mwrcd me,
hat 1 should receive from, that body pfotte*
tkau ? To thU end, an ineffectual call haa
been made en the Kxecutive for information.
I Seel.grateful for the sympathy of my
follow cittsens, and to thoae in Cfotwrun, 1
who wished to protect me, but heither
the one nor the other have been atyel
to relieve jae for the prevent or give
me hopes of security for the ftuure.
The punishment to which ! was sentenced,1
and which 1 have borne without murmuring, j
harassed off without any abatement what
ever. The executive has been Influenced
neither by the voice of the one, nor the call
of the other, but to the last, has manifested a
rancour which has been eticnmsed by evenr
expression of the good will of others toward*
hue. This feeling which has been bequeath
ed from one Administration to thi other, may
remain to my prejudice, an Mr-loom in the
Government, at least as long as 1 can fed an*
interest in the events of this life. Aj)d un
der these circumstances, it would, I conceive
be but a useless waste of my timfc, as well as
a voluntary submission to degradation, were
1 to remain longer in the UnitedHtates Navy, i
if 1 dm find honourable and useful employ
ment In that of Mexico.
Let those who would reprove tne for leav
ing my country, to embark in the service of
a foreign uation, reflect thaj 1 but jmrsue my
vocation. If I cannot find employment fronts
the Government herr, where can 1 look for
It in this country? My life has been spent
in the Navy, 1 have no'other profession, and
am too far advanced to learn a new one.
The command tendered to me, is the most
honourable that can be offered. It is the
command hi*chief of the Navy of a young
and pros|>erous republic, in umity with the
United State*, actuated bv the same feelings
and interests, and struggling as she has done
against despotism, for the establishment of
free principles. Let those who :>*e dijgrace
in the act, reflect on the unparalleled Honor*
which they have bestowed, nay, heaped on
Lafavette for doing the same thing. Why
?houid'I be disgraced by what was conshl
nldcred so honourable In nim, l>e Kalb, Koa
(ittsko, Stuben, fcc. tcc.f Why is it more
disgraceful in me to accept the invitation of
the Government of Mexico^ than in Gen.
Bernard to accept that of the Government of
the United States.' We all acknowledge
the value of Ah services to this country; and
I hope, and trust Mexico feill experience
au tl benefit from mine should I accept her
'er.
The profession of arms has never been I
deemed dishonourable, and whether I go tol
leant ttdf 19teach ft, malignity only can find
ciuittoMiurf me.

JACKSON. ? V-'i
The glory of ft great mail becomes, in a
manner, a national domain of which every
citiiuo ha* a rijjht to be proud, and the ex
perience of time proven that patriotic enthu*
siusm acquires every day dew forces in the
contemplation of the brilliant crown ot glo
ry that surrounds the foreheads of the he
roes, aaviours of thdflr country, 'l'bus na
tion* in the spontaneous ed'usions of their ad
miration and gratitude towards their bene
factors, throw down in disdain the impotent
dykes raised by intrigue and envy, t6 arrest
the march of genius, and the object ot their
love borne by jwpular enthusiasm, al <mi
triumphal shield, is suddeuly rained to pow
er una to tiie highest honors of the republic.
Already this salutary crisis is felt to ? cer
tain extent In our happy country, a happy
presage ot the triumph of the mass Over
a small tiumlier of intriguing calumniator*.
Already does envy hide her head* and the
?genius of the country uroclannmg the name
of Jackson calls that Hero to the Capitol to
preside Arer the destiuies of a Me people.
The State of New-York has imitated the
example which had been but shortly before
set by the states of Pennsylvania and Ten
nessee. A meeting of the most respectable
men of that state has recommended Jackson
to the rest of the Union for the Presidency at
thenext election. As a patriot 1 rejoiced to
sec the dearest intercuts of my couutry pro
mised to the trust of one so worthy, as a
Louisianian, a feeling of indignation and
grief assails my, when 1 think that theciti
sens of this state have not only persevered in
not taking the mitutite, when an opportuni
ty offered of rewarding their benefa<?r,
1 the hem who saved their honors, their wx
tunes and their lives, but that they -have
! not feared to assume eternal stuune on their
heads, by refusing him thvir constitutional
I votes in the congress of lbil.
It is far from the theatre of glory, that
Jackson now Hnds his most ardent supports.
It is after huvuig carefully examined and ap
preciated the conduct, the principles and
theh.Vof that great ^itisen; it is by renew
ing noble recollections, fertile in glorious
comparisons, that the states of New-York
and Pennsylvania acquired a. conviction that
the hero who saved the country in luL?;
who in his early youth had devoted to her
his voice and his arm, possesses as legiti
mate rights to tho Presidency, as dul, in
1T99, the great mun who uon<|u<-rcd our
liberties in the war of independence.
