adversaries this charge has been neither
forgotten or neglected but wielded with
all the force which subtlety of purpose and
malignity of haurt could devise;—yet the
support 1 received, proved the unimpaired
confidence of the people, at the time when
the public excitement mi this subject was
at its height. This was not only shewn in
my being repeatedly elected a member of
the Legislature hy the old and respectable
county of Wilkes, hut in the year 1796,1
was elected a Major General by the very
Legislature who ordered the Yazoo re-
cordstu he burned—nor was this the only
instance in these times in which I received
proofs of the confidence of tlieLegisliiture.

the University of Georgia.

shew, tlmt when the circumstances of this
transaction were most regarded; and best
understood, the people did not deny me
their confidence. 1 was not a member of

(:J)“I regret to fimlthere isbut too much

not but regret to si(y, tlmt there is irres-

Gentlemen : In reply to the invitation
ynu liavo dune me the honor to present on

leave to make some explanations, which (
flatter myself will meet their favorable re

the conrse of conduct 1 have marked outfor
myself.
It is not unknown to you that I have been
tried, condemned, and am now suffering pu
nishment by the sentence of a Court Mar
tial
To be cendemned to a state of idleness,
under the most favorable circumstances,
would be puinfoi to me, as one to which I
have never been accustomed ; but to be s i
condemned, for the high crimes and misde
meanors with which I have been charged,
and the Court has found me guilty, howe
ver disproportioned the duration and the na
ture of the punishment, may pe to the offen
ces charged, rendor it infinitely more irk
some.
It waB my boumlen duty, and it certainly
was my ardent desire, as my whole conduct
through tile will prove, to give the most
entire satisfaction to the government in
the execution of all the orders which I had
ever received; but having unhappily fail
ed to do bo in this instance, iiaving, as it
appears, uiisuiidorstoud and erroneously in
terpreted orders and instructions, which the
Court und the public, and I believe, also,
the government, iiave only been able to
land ami knock us on tltu head wo can’t help it;
wo wilt make no rosisluiico.hnt oven then extend
tlio hand ol friendship. Tints will our whole Na
tion act- and let the world see and hear of it."

CoTsnNon Tame IMI SiAvuni.—Mr. Ad
ams’ mouth piece, tue Ns lotial J lurnul, is
agsiatn dilling with slavery The National
In-.elhjjeiicer had said that “Congress never
can, umlei any circumstaacea, touch the c n-
dition of slavery in the United States.” Th i
Journal immediaiely says in answer—” The
cunsti'ution authorises the States or the Gen
eral Government to pass laws Risking slaves
fee, but dies not authorise miking freemen
slaves." Here is sr attempt to cla m a new
power to the G’neral Government in relation
to our slave property, which, if exerrised,
and mt resitted on our part, will soon put an
end to the prosperity of'he Southern States.
Our readers will recoil ct the declaration
of this tame National Journal, made not a
month after the election of Mr, Adams to be
President, that nor.- is the time to come o
•ome definitive reaolution aa to the costin' -
aaee or totel abolition of slavery i and that the
emancipation of tin blacks ia one of the most
important objects that esn engage the atten
tion of the Government. They will also re*
collect the resolution of Mr King, proposing
to apply the proceeds of our public lands to
the purchase and emancipation of our slaves.
It ia also within the recollection of all of us,
how fi mly Governor Troop, at the Extra Ses.
•ion, met the acliemea of these mad enthusi
asts. Tiie toue and spirit with which they
were met had the effict to slay their t-fibris
for a short lime. It has however been repre
sented to them, by ' the disaffected newspa
per*, snd by the eastern emissaries among t.s,
that Governor Troup's course is not approved
by the people of the south. Hence the re*
news! of these efforts to deprive us of our
slave property. Hence too the declaration of
the Nationsl Journal, that tb" General Gov
ernment bts power tn pan laws making alavea
free. Hence also the industrious oropoga

At a public meeting held at Brown’s Ho
tel, in the City of Washington, on Wednes-
day, the 31st of August, 1825, for the pur
pose of considering the propriety of offering
to Commodore Pohtkr, oftlie United States’
Navy, a public dinnner, by way of testify
ing to him and to the world the very high
and nndiminished estocm and confidence
which the citizens of Washington entertain
for him ns an individual, and repnso in him
as a public officer—Gnn. Phillip Sro.Anr
was called to the Chair, and Jkremiar
Elkins. Esq. was appointed Secretary.—
Wherenpen, it was unsniniouly resolved—
1st. That the persona constituting the
meeting, onlcrtain the highest esteem and
admiration for the exalted private worth
and the glorious and faithful public, services
of Commodore David Porter : and. as a
testimony of their undiminished confidence
in his virtue, patriotism, and devotion to
his country’s csuse, that ho be invited to
accept of a public dinner, tn be given as a
compliment to him. at Brown’s Hotel, on
Saturday the 3d ofSept. next.
2d. That General Philip Stuart, Col.
Henry Ashton, and JohN Grafs', Jr. Esq.

which, alter what iiud transpired, 1 would

entire confidence in one, who bus proved
both an accuser and u witness against me,
and whose testimony alyuo bus condemned

found favor and indulgence in the eyes of
that public, lo whom, 1 su confidently ap

held from me, by those to whom I thought I
had a right to complain and appeal; for, to
have remained silent under grave accusa
tions, to have yielded without an efiurt to
protect my honor, would have been as for
eign to what I owed to myself as it would

have permitted the cloud of censure to hang

after degradation, when i believed myself
innocent, was wlidt, according to my iucus,
nu mortal, having one spark of honor or
pride in his composition, or any sell respect,

deed, short of my innocence proved, or of
iny conviction of guilt, could satisfy, or
ougl to have satisfied me; 1 wished lor jus
tice, and I asked nothing more. I asked
no favors—no indulgence. I was willing
to meet the accusation boldly ; I shrunk
from no investigation of my official life,
however rigid, and I huve shown no dispo
sition to avoid the penally, if found guilty.
Justice has at length, and no doubt cou-
scieutiousiy, been awarded to me by my
peers, and at the price of six mouths’ sus
pension, for the expiation of rny guilt, with
an honorable acquittal of every moral of-
lesce, 1 liavo now the pruud satisfaction
of knowing thut my whole conduct in the
transaction which occasioned my recall, as
well as my official conduct during and sub
sequent to my command, will be laid before
my fellow-citizens—an advantage to obtain
which, life itself wuuld Imvc been consider
ed a trifling sacrifice, for death would have
been preferable to a sullied reputation ;—
and it will be as much my pride now, to
shew an example of subordination and pa
tience under my punishment, as it ever was
my dcsiru to do my duty to inyself, under
wliat I believed unjuit accusations, or to
my country, whenever my services might
prove useful to her.,
No man is free from h"mari frailties—
and I Imvc m full share; but among them
is not to be rankyd vindictive resentment,
or a disposition kt crush the already oppres
sed. Attacks continue to be made on me
through prints under official patronage, but
experience has convinced me, that it werg
safer at least to bear the evil than complain.
The Court has awarded the puuiehment for
Mf offence, and I am houud to abide by
itldecision ; if others, by their complains,

fidently severe, or feel that their conduct
requires justification or apolagy, bo tneirs
