■Vjetnttiy on so extensive a sc«fo the uftthbr has settled himself of the labours of
M’-jor Lung, whose manuscript maps were politely furnished by him; these, ip
connexion with the wot its of Humboldt, Like, Lewi* and. Clark, o» the geograph'
of the south and w’ealern-rt-giuns, and those of Russ, Larry, Governor, Cass, fit.,
won and others, fi» the myth, give an eutir ly new aspect to this portion of f ft -
Continent. 'The error# ..i existing,maps with respect to points on the Upper Mis
sissippi, and other* near the Oreg-m or iioek Midi tains, have he an car idlly ad

has been observed, that every position he conformable to the last astronomical
obsfeevutinns, or in the absence of these, to tbc result of thj best itiniratie* and
other authentic documents^ K.qual care has been exerted by the compiler, not to
insert obscure villages, .or pltieys w hose positions are doubtful, choqsiog rather to
leave a vin aiit space on thtsdVliip, than to draw fr|in suspicious euttrees. Table

.or paying due peg-rd to l*18 variation which dilfers at different tnue* and pluses.
The distances arc frequently measured without proper care and accuracy. 'D-.ua
of these detached surveys, though io many instances correct, and iu must, perheps,
exhibiting precisely the'relative proportion of the tract surveyed, yet seldom agree
With plans of adjoining places. To those who are experimentally uequaiu.ed
with the dilUeulties attending the formation of a goad general map from niaieri .Is
so evceeditigly discordant in their nature, no apology need b, m-ula for iri&acura
eu's, bn in which the author is unwilling to indulge the hope that his map is whol
ly exrmfd. To render it woclhy the patronage of an enlightened public, uoth-ng
has 'leenaimiucd by t^ie author that would make the priMcnt map what ha ear
nestly desires, one of lasting utility and convenient reference; the great care ia
collecting the materials for its construcHoA, the accuracy au'd perspicuity with
wliicli the auth.orhat enJernvoured tu execute it, and m enuvemeut size, will, it i»
hoped, jotuie the ticcourplishineut of both these objects.

To 'he Editor .of the Enquirer. »
New Bertie, Virginia, August 14, 1823.
Gentlemen: k am iuduoed to write
to you, impelled by the numerous eiii
((fridl remarks whieb ’have issued from
different parts of t^e.Uuiou, relating to
the controversy between ^Messrs. Russell
at|A Adams, ^mvelwag mean a greater
eq leas degfa*; but mtfro particularly.
frdtji the unwarrantable assertiooe or
Mir. Jams throughout his rejoinder.
On filtering into public life| I formed
a plan ^rorn which 1 determined never
to depart, unless for the strongest rea
sons; and 1 assure you it is with pain
mu* icgiei, i uaw ueviaie irom mat plan
When any thing occurs iu 'my public
Couduc*, if it concerns my seif alone,
l hav* been content to rest my claims to
justice upon the decision of those with
whom 1 act entirely regardless whether
the newspapers or reporters to newspa
pers, ieither misunderstand me, misreprts
tent me, or do cot hear mo.
In the commencement of This'ft flair,I
was nut a little surprised to see the edi
torial remarks of the Weekly Register
in concluding the publication of the
President’s message with the* letters of
Mr. Russell and Mr. Adams, subjecting
the to imputations o£“eieciion*ering
view s” and the “ge tiigup” tb>« I us^ .
ness: My surprise was not L o
find any thiug tu my course, ante to
such imputations, as 1 have ai». teU
the most perfect confidence in tho cor
rectness ot’.niy course: tiiough 1 have
too high act opinion of the correctness
and integrity of the VVeekly Register to
believe these remarks were luteudqd
for any other purpose, than to give'Atx
honest opinion of the transaction as it
appeared to him. i
With these feelings; as soon as I re
covered from a severe illness, under
which I was laboring when tho Regis
ter was received, 1 wrote a statement of
tb^ whole matter, to the' editor of thnt *
paper, whose independent repuhir ^ n '
course tus impressed me with tn*,nio>
favorable sentiments of hi* reetito •
auu ability;—but, thinking there Wuu:d
be an end to tKe utfair very (soon, aud
-that opportunities might ofi'er elsewhere
of doing qi}*. if justice, I fielded to tho
suggestisii of a friend in withholding
it: nor, do 1 think the necessity wield
f-ow exist, hod ths w.'tole of (the debate
b eu pubiish-d wlAeh took place in the
uuse of representatives upon tho adop
tion of Mr. Fulirr’s resolution, making
the final call upeu the ptesideul. for
ilio pupeis; which now appears vs hove
Qeeu dnne.attho instance of Mr. Adams
(firnsel.f*
'Thar# *» certainly semathiuj very"
singular in this alfair, that Mr-Adams
who has labored with so much z.-ai and
preserverauce, to imprest the nation
W.tli the belief that Mr. Russell is not
correct in his Statements, should, uever
th less, as zealously adhere to deolara*
t ons equally iijui ious, .and unfounded
as it-regards uiyselipto the end, it is
pt-csuuicd, to justify Ins own eouduct|in
procuring Mr Fuller to mske the call
which 1 had desisted from, end which
it stems was so defiruble to him, as ^
mcM irf getting into the newspaprrs-— ,
this, too, after Mr. Kussd had said he
kuewr nothing of my uiteution of mak
ing the request 1 did make.
Mr. Adorns, 1 find believed, jw&s too
well acquainted nuh etiquette, to leave
liis law luf game, to send a shaft at me,
however he might feel towards me; hut,
since he hits thought proper to do so, 1
must defend mya-lf.
Whatever a secretary shall say df
I think it but ng.it, to hold turn respot). «
i.hl;} nor will 1 eousCut that ha shall
ransack hi* department to- find a clerk
to i^-op iih despres by 4 certificate.* 4a
far as it regards luvself, 1 must protest
against the certificates of clerks, who
Jepeud for their daily bread, iiooq tba ,
capricious saults of* eeretary Hr a de
