IV/ a letter, dared Wafhlng ton, /tii of January, #ve arc in formed, that the appointment of Major Thomas De M. Tohn fon, as Collector of the Port of Savannah, was unanimoufly con firmed by the Senate of the United States, We learn, that John B. Wil kinfon, Efq, of Augufta, is ap pointed Poft Matter, in place of \Vm. J. Hobby, turned cut vf rjj'uc. On January i, 1802, the Chefhire Cheefe, was preTented to the Prefidenr, accompanied with the following add re Is. Jhe great eft Cheefe in America , FOR The greateft Man in America, SI R , Notwichttanding we live re mote from the feat of the national government, and in an extreme part of our own flare ; vet we humbly claim the right of judg ing for ourfelves. Our attachment to the national conftitution is ttrongand indiffo luble. We confider it a deferip tion of thofe powers, which the people have fubmitttd to their inagittratcs, to be cxcrcifed for definite purpofes, and not a charter of favors, granted by a fovereign to his fubjedls. A inong its beautiful features, the right of free fuffrage, to correct all abides, Ihe prohibition of religious tefls, to prevent all hierarchy. The means of a mendment, which it contains within itfclf, to remove defers as fall as they are difeovered, appear the moft prominent. — But for feveral years pafl, our apprehenfions has been, that the genius of the government was not attended in fundry cafes ; and that the adminittration bor dered npoiv monarchy : ourjoy, of courle, mull ha/e been great, on your eleftion to the firft office in the nation : having had good evidence, from your announced fentimems and uniform conduct, that it would be your ffrife and glory to turn back the govern ment, to its virgin purity. — The trull is great ! The tafk arduous ! But we confole our felves, that the fupreme ruler of the univerfe, who raifes up men to acchieve great events, has raffed up a JefFciTon foi this ttideal day, to defend lepubli can Ifman I bailie all the arts of anflocracy. 'ur, we liavc attempted to I 1 our love to our prefident, u .r in words alone, but in deeds and nurh. With this addrefs, we lend yon a cheefe, by the hands or Afeffrs, John Teland and Danis Brown, as a pepper corn of the effeem which we bear 10 our chief magi (Irate, and as n fieri face to repubJica nl n ft is not the latt Hone in the Patti le, nor is it of anv great confluence as an article of worta i but as a free-willoffcr- 1 mg, \\ e hope U will be reHved. -j I he cheefe v/as not madejby his fordlhip, for his facred mrjedy ; nor with a view to gain dignified titles cr lucrative offices; but by the pciTonal labour oft free born farmers- (without a fmgle fluve to afliff) for an etdhve prefkV nt of a free people—-with the only view of calling a mite into the dale of democracy. fhe late triumphant leturn of republicanifin has more ani mated the inhabitants of Che (hire, to bear the burthens of govern ment, and treat the characters and pei Tons of thofe in authority with all due refpeCb, than the long fill of alien, fedition, naval, and provifional army laws, ever did. Sir, we had Tome thoughts of imprtfllr.g feme figmficant in fenption on the cheefe ; but we have found luch inconvcniency in damps on paper, that we chafe to fend it in a plain re publican form. May God long preferve your life and health, for a bit ding to the United braces, and the world at laige.

Gentlemen , I concur with vou in the fen timents expreded in your kind addrefs on be naif of the inhabi tants of the town of C belli ire, that the conftitution or the uni ted States is a charter of autho rities and duties, not a charter to its office»s ; and among its mod precious provifions arc the right of luffrage, the prohibition of religious telh, and its means of peaceable amend ment. No thing enlures the duration of this tarn fabric of government fo effectually as the due fenle en tertamed by the body of cur citizens, of the value of thele principles and their care to pre fer ve them. 1 received with particular plealure ti c teftimony of good will with which your citi ens have been pleafed to charge you foi me; it prefents an extraor dinary proof of the dull with which thofe domedic arts, which contribute fo much to our daily comfort, arc pradtiled by them, and particularly by that portion of them moll intending to the cffcftions, the care, and the happinefs of man. 1 omyfelf this mark of edeem from free- born farmers, cm ployed pcrfonally in the mod ufctul labors of life, is peculiarly grateful, having no wifh but to preferve to them the fruits of their labor, their fenfe of this truth will be my higheft re ward. & I pray you, gentlemen, to make mv tnanks for their favor j 1 acceptable to them, and to be ' I allured ycuiTelves of my high rdpcd and eftcem. Th. JEFFERSON. January i, 1802. The agents have been highly gratified with the fimple plain nels with which tliey have been received in the prefenting of the Cheefe ; which they conceive to be the dignity of republican nifin ; and take this opportunity of acknowledging the polite ufage they have received from men of public fpirit, through . the whole of the removals from Chclhirt to Wafnington.
