MaduoK/ Ga., Aug. 81, 1803.
Gentlemen:
.in in receipt of your favor calling
my attention to certain charges matin
against mo by some of my assailants, and
askingtnoto reply, and allow you to
publish my vindication. Other friends
have written ine letters of similar tenor.
In order to relieve all honest misappre
hension, I nmke the following statement,
which L trust wijl at least ho satisfactory
to all who are willing to think favorably
o. Such of my correspondents as
remain unanswered, will please consider
this ns au answer to thorn.
A few of the public journals of this
State have suggested my name us one fit
to Ihj voted for in the approaching elec
tion for Governor. It has been done
without any agency or managoinont of
mine. Tutliupa, it has proceeded from a
few ardent lrionds who had determined
to compliment me with their votes—
without regard to any reasonable pros
pect of success. That I have some such
devoted friends, 1 hnye reason to know.
To these I have always suid, “while 1
could not compluin of a well intended
kindness--! would not tamsent to occupy
the position of uu aspirant or seeker for
any office.” I now repeat that declara
tion. Not that 1 was afraid or ashamed
to disclose my opinions on public affairs
—but that l felt contempt and disgust
for the business of wooing popular sup
port. I have but little of solf-reprouch
on that account—mid am resolved
not to adil to it 1 am well s dialled
that our present condition, us a people, is
mainly attributable to tlie prevalence of
that demoralizing custom. The people
have themselves to blamo—that they have
generally bestowed their confidence upon
those who were most adroit in this des
picable art. Have they had enough of it
I liavo never felt the desire to occupy
the Executive office, even in ordinary
times. Now, with its vast responsibili
ties and its 'inineiise patronage, it is sure
ly not a pluce to ho coveted by any mod
est, conscientious man. He who accepts
it with any other view than to devotu his
time and tulont to tbo welfare and hap
piness of the people, is unworthy of the
station.
It nuts the purposes of those accus
tomed to kill «ilf adversaries by detraction,
to ascribe opinions an^ designs to me
that 1 never entertained. And friends,
who have had sufficient experience to
know how little reliance is to bo placed
on pledget, and plalfomiR, “ask lbr a
sign.” it is charged that I am in favor
oi a reconstruction of the Union—opposed
to the prosecution of the war, and to tlm
Administration of Tiesident Davis. 1

I came here, on the 23d inst., to change
my opinion of mon and measures, but
abundant reasons to bo convinced that
our affairs are in u more distressed, ruin
ous, and deplorable condition than they
have been sinco the commencement of
tho war. By a faithful laborer in the
cause; by a man who is daily expending
his private estate, for not oven tlie small
est earthly advantages, not common to
all in case of a favorable issue to the dis
pute; by one who wishes tho prosperity
of America most dovoutly, hut secs it, or
thinks lie sms it on the brink of ruin, vou
are besought most earnestly, my dear
Col. Harrison, to exert yourself in endea
voring to roscuo your country by sending
your best und ablest men t<* Congress,
i'heso characters must not slumbor nor
sleep at homo in such a lirno of pressing
danger. They must not content them
selves with the enjoyment of places of
honor or profit in their own State while
the common interests of Anmricn are
mouldering and sinking in irreparable
ruins, if a remedy is not soon applied,
and in which these also must ultimately
be involved.
If 1 could be called upon to draw a
picture of tlie times and of mon, from
what I have seen, heard, and in part
know, I should iu one word say, that
idleness, dissipation und extravagance
seem to have laid fast hold of most of
them ; that speculation, peculation, und
an insatiable thirst for riches, seem to
have got the hotter of every other con
sideration, and almost of every order of
mon ; that party disputes ami personal
quarrels is the groat business of the day,
while tlu* momentous concerns of an
oinbiro, a great and accumulating dobf,
ruined finances, depreciated monby iwtti
want of credit, which in ils consequences
is the want of everything, are but sec
ondary considerations, and postponed
from day to day and week to week, as it
our affairs wore tiio most promising as
pect. After drawing the picture, which
from my soul 1 believe to bn a true ono,
1 need not now repeal to you that I uni
ulurmed, and wIbIi to see my countrymen
aroused. I have no resentments, nor do
l moan to point at particular characters.
This I can declare to you, upon honor,
lur I have every attention paid to me by
Congress that 1 can possibly expect, and
1 have reason to think that 1 stand well
in their estimation. But in the present
situation of tilings, 1 cannot help asking,

Since tho singularly inglorious full of

A Company Sued for Onk Cent.—
A few days since, a suit was instituted
before an alderman in this city for the
recovery of ono cent. Tlie oircumstnriccB
were a- follows: A gentleman was riding
in one of tho Darby passenger cars, anil
the fare to bo paid was four cents, lie
handed the conductor a live cent note,
and tho conductor informed him that ho
hud no cent to givo, and requested the
passenger to take the note buck und
give him (the conductor) four cents.
The passenger refused to take the note
or hand over tho pennies. Tho conduc
tor then put tho money in his pocket,
and tho next day tho passongur sued tlie
company for tho one cent duo him, and
tho alderman decided thut lie was enti
tled to it. Tho President of tho company

To tho Letter shore of tha spirit land.
