ignizcd before high courts of im peachment—But Analizer tells us, •hat there have been three actions brought, although the records of the court ran produce but two, and he says, that by a late comparison of the copies with the originals in the office, in the present suit, another error is discovered—If this was even the truth, Major Clarke is certainly free a writ, and of putting his name to the same. RENE FITZPATRICK August 2d, 1810. I have no knowledge whatever ot any writs in the name of Samuel Ridg- dell a 5j l ' nst myself, being handed mi by Elijah Clarke, Esq. —nor do I be • lieve that any such ever were. But .'1 any imputation, it being a clerical if there was any such, they were de- rnistakc. But Mr. Fitch the de- fendant’s counsel, says, that the co pies have been in his possession ma ny weeks, and never were seen by Analizer, ancj that if there is an er- Tor or variance between the originals and copies it is unknown to him. Theannexed certificates of Messrs. Rogers and Fitzpatrick, will certain ly supercede the necessity of a sin gle remark as to that charge—the insinuation respecting the retention of the contract in the case of the Mr. Roes, is unworthy of notice, and cpuld only have originated from a heart familiar with the perpetrati on of crimes—The suits of Rigdel vs. Jackson were brought a consider able time since, and the recollection of Judge Carnes, Mr. Fitch, the re cord itself, and even Analizer, will prove that a term upon one of them was occasioned by the clerk attach ing the name of the Judge of the Oc mulgee Circuit to the process, when there was no such Judge or Circuit known at the time the suit was brought—Whether they were deli vered by Major Clarke to the defen dant Col. Jackson for the purpose of concealment, or not, may perhaps be determined by the annexed cer tificate—Suits are generally brought by young gentlemen in offices, and frequently when the principal is a- broad—And if the suffering of non suits is evidence of guilt, I fear not one innocent man in the whole fra ternity will be found—the charge is ridiculous. If Analizer had been actuated by the principles of truth and justice, he would have given Major Clarke livered in an enclosed packet, the contents of which I was ignorant of, and as such delivered to the clerk— But as I before observed, I have no recollection, nor do I believe that a- ny such were delivered to me by said Clarke or any person.

If my expressions ami sentiments accord with the eternal and immutable laws of truth and jus tice, I am confident I shall receive the approbation of all good and ho nest men. As for those who tram ple upon truth, and attempt to ruin all who are not of their Junto, their approbation would lead me to sus pect myself unworthy the esteem of conduct, in not returning the fire n the Moselle.

It would be a tres pass upon the patience, of the public, & an insult to their understanding to expose your errors. When you and your party were challenged to divulge any thing you knew to dis qualify Major Clarke for a seat in Congress, we little expected an an swer like yours—a mixture of all the crude materials that compose e- very species of composition, in a state perfectly chaotic.

Suppose a man should publish you a knave or a scoundrel, (without stating one fact to fix the charge), and call upon you to prove the contrary ; how would you do it ? If you are really patriotic, and wish that an irreproach able character should be a passport to office ; why do you not examine with dispassionate calmness and can dor.—You cannot prove Major Clarke a Federalist; you will not be lieve the empty assertions of his friends ; you will not believe Arn- phion: What will you believe ?
