iftost excellent Sir—On the 10th inst
re vived )rnur excellency’s letter of th
27th of Ajiril fast, infpruiiogme that some
• articles of the clothing, used by the troop
of the United'Stdtes, and supposed to h*
tpart of those taken in the beat in which
•lieutenant Scott and his'cscort were so in
'hlimihfjMnurdered, were found in a small
-schooner, despatched frera this port for
'that 1 of Apalache,' with provisions.
. .Your excellency enquires ot me,in what
'manner these-articles came into my pos-
session; sad you further state, that you-fecl
yoarself obliged to inform me, that th
'documents and'the pmofx'fouml in St. Jo
an; the detention of'American cattle found
in St. Marksjartd the correspondence car-_
•ried on between this post ami the hostile*
'‘Indians; are sufficient to create a belief,
**!wt they were armed and - incited to this
"cruel war against the United States, by'
-the Spanish officers.
"'"Your-excellency Adds, that there exist
•psdtive proof that the Indians were sup-
plied.-with' munitions by the last command;
er of St. Marks; and you conclude bv aay-
ing. that an asylum has been granted here
to the persons and property of the Indians,
wno are enemies to the Uoited States, and
fugitive* from the American-territory; and
tha' 1'i ’Se proceedings, acd the refusing
' to sfiow the-passage of provisions for your 1
"tr..»P», p. lived the u iju'st conduct'd- the’
Spanish agents in the Ftoridas. - 7. '
I shall answer the charges alleged in
their proper order, with candoc, and'with-
oot evasion or. reservation:' .
The-first complaint made by yonr ex*-
-cellency is relative to tha articles of doth-
ing found- on board the . schooner Maria,
' and which have been detained on the’aup-
\ posithui, tha't they are the priMierty of the
N Unitdd Sutea.
Part of these artic.es, as proved bv Copy

companied with plans of ths existing
works, what aihlittoos or improveinenti
are necessary, aud whnt new works should,
in his opiniun, be erected, to give perma
nent security to this important territorial
nldition to our republic. As soon as the
report is prepared, epptain Gadsden will
receive outers to repair to W ashington
Citv with some other documents which i
if its agents, when
within the tswu of Pensacola.—2-1 inav wish to confide to his-charge.

THE REPUBLICS
SATURDAY EVENING, JxBoait 2, 1819
TO THE ELECTORS OP CHJtTBAM.
Cocirramaa!—Twice only will the golden orb
ofdsy difl'ute “ita radieace o’er the plains .of In.
dependent America,”-ere you will becalkxi - upon
to exerase the high prerogative of freemen—the
right ot suffra e—a right obtained-by tbe blood
Dur ancestors, and justly considered by them
the palladium of liberty—the bulwark of the
political constitution. To us, they bart^ handed
it down, trusting, in the exeicise of it, klwill die.
play that discretion and judgement which mm
should she\v when deliberating upon a subject the
most intimately connected with their -freedJm.
Keeping this in view, permit one who boasts only
of a vote. 1 but who feels for the general welfare ef
hi. country with as much sensibility as any man ia
to point out I'orycur suflragesa representative m
the- present and next congress of tKe United
States, in’room of Mr. - Forsyth, promoted to
-erode.
The msn who strikes my view as a Representa
tive, is. general HO.MEU V. MILTON !J- has a
Ural upon j our vote.-. He has fought in defence
of his country; and he has spent the best part at
his life and his fortune in combauiag not only the
fliers of Britain, but our savage tribes, “whose
known rule of warfare” is “an undistinguished
destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.”!
Country men! It would he ungrateful not to reward
an old and faithful servant. Give him your sup
port ON MONDAY NEXT; andl am morally cec.
tain you never shall be sorry for it No man. Who
will discard his prejudices, and suffer himself to
be guided by reason and the dictates of dqty can
withhold from him his vote, at tbe approaching
election. -It is unnecessary-to say much in pom*
meudation of a man so well-known.to the public
as general Miltox He is a brave and respects-
ble officer; and possesses. 4 feeling and-generous
heart'. His strong claims rest upon hiV ps'-iot*
ism, liberality, and public services. His.patriot,
ism, no man. can question His public services
are fresh iii the memory of a grateful people—
He has drawn his sword for bis country, often,
and he was-never known to refuse to quit his
domestic comforts, for the “tented field.” Agaiiut
the enemies of America, red,, or white he has al
ways stood like Mount Atlas.
’When storms and tempests thunder on its bmp.
And Oceans break their billows at its feet"
What are the public sevices of judge Reed-com-
pared to these? Do they not vanish: like the pale,
moon-beam before the effulgence of the sun. 1 —If
judge Reed-(who is the opponent of gcneral-Mi)
has done honor to the bench on.which he.pte*
sides, and has enhanced himself in the estimation
of many, gsr.eral Miltox, sacrificed the en
dearments of home, to win the laurels of the sol-
dierin the battle field. If the former
prais», tbe Utter merits the confidence and i
which a grateful people can btslow.
Such fellow citizens is the man whom we re
commend to you to support, for congress Asum
who possesses a sound, discriminating mind; a man
who is not shackled by party; a man wjio it-, is
believed, would be impartial and independent An
all his actions; whose policy would-be liberal, to
the interests and prosperity of the low country.
The individual who now addresses you is per
sonally acquainted with general Milton,and knows
perfectly well, the -zeal and friendly disposition
which he, possesses, does, and will gpince for the
welfare, prosperity and' wants of this section pf
the state. -It is- hoped, .then,'- fellow-citizens, that
you will throng the polls on Monday next, and shew
to the world, your respect for patriotism, derot
ednesa and live for country, by voting for genit
al HQMEKY. MILTON.
