By my 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.

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, wsh to induce the belief that it is not suf- fidently severe, or feel that their conduct requires justification or apolagy, bo tneirs lh» labor of justifying it: I envy them not The sloop Delight, Cooper, for Charles ton, sailed on Friday morning, and return ed to Cockspur on Saturday morning on necniint ofhead winds.
