CIRCULAR.
A printed circular signed George R Gil
mer is passing through the State on the sub
ject oflhe Executive Proclamation ordering
an election for a member of Congress in
October next. With Air. Gilmer’s defence
of his own conduct the Executive of Geor

proper to mix up with that defence a crimi
nation of the Chief Magistrate. Even with
this I would not trouble myself but for the
apprehension that I should he considered,
if silent, ns admitting the accuracy of the
statements in the circular. The first allega

with any sort of importunity, their considp

some apprehension lliat the interssts of the
parties who had suffered under the Sedition
Law, might he prejudiced hy a discussion of
the topic during a period of great political
excitement—when even the motives which
had induced him to tiring forward the propo

der a different crisis. He rose now for the
purpose of calling the attention of the House
to tlie subject, not for the purpose of pres

lie was aware would he improper, hut with
the view of moving flint the resolutions

have an appropriate reference tu a commit
