FOR THE E.YQ HIRER.
2o The Hon. John 'Taliaferro.
Sir: In the Enquirer of the 29ih September las',
an humble constituent signing himself a *• Free
holder of the lJistrict,” propounded interrogatories
to you, which he then thought, and Mill believes,
worthy your notice and deserved a reply, but
which you have thought proper not to vouchsafe
to answer. It is fiir to presume, as you have not
thought it worth your while, by this date, (the
21th October,) to bestow upon them your atten
tion, that you design to let them pass along, sub si
lentio.
Is it possible that with all the wily arts which
are ascribed to you—with the consummate know
ledge (which all allow you to possess) of ascer
taining what i* best calculated to quiet or inflame
the people, that you should not know that any
contempt of the multitude, or any member of it,
when engaged in making fair and legitimate exami
nation, connected with its welfare and honor_any
unjustifiable assumption of power, in either the
Chief Magistrate of these United States, or in any
intermediate station, from him to the door keeper
of your Hall, seldom fails to prove fatal to who
ever may attempt it. If, sir, of 'his truth, found ,
ed upon all experience, you should really lie iguo
rant, suffer me to warn you, above all things, not
to get above your duty —not to presume loo much
upon the favor which your employers have shown
you. Many an agent, as worthy as yourself, as
you well know, ha*> lost employment for a similar
offence. There is, it is said, a moment at which
flattery and chicane can no longer deceive, and
simplni'y itself can no longer be misled. — All time
has shown, whenever the peop e have reason to
withdraw their confidence, they' are as oppre-sive
and violent, as they had been kind and indulgent.
Once let the mass take a direction, and the moun
tain torrent is not moie uncontrolable and destruc
tive.
Itecollect then, sir, you are nothing more nor
less than a servant ol the public, and that that
public have a right to your sentiments upon all
subjects involving their interest and happiness —It
is immaterial whether you are addressed by the
whole community, or a single individual—whether
the address is anonymous or otherwise—the mere
knowledge that doubt exists, as regards yeu upon
any subject connected with the national prosperity,
should alone be sufficient to induce you to hasten
its removal, as well on your own account, as from
a duty you owe tho-e you represent.
I maintain, however in this country we may
be distinguished by rank or property, in the rights
ol freedom we are all equal; and whether enquiries
are made of you as a repiesentative agent, by a
rich or a poor man, by one or by a thousand, by
an individual who gives his name, or one who
withholds it, you are bound freely to answer
them.
Our republicanism would be a farce—our re
presentative system a mere bubble, and the people
sleeping sentinels, worse than sluggards in their
political work, were they to suffer a representative
to escape from this all-important duty under the
poor pretext o. ins being called on by an individual
whose name is unknown to him, when, in ihat call,
the doubt, at least ol a large portion of the people,
was fully set forth.
tvery one is well aware there are many reasons
which may operate upon an individual to induce,
not like Junius, an eternal, but temporary conceal
ment of his name—while, on the other hand, there
is no argument that human ingenuity can devise to
support the absurdity, and truly a phenomenon in
republican government, of a representative refus
ing to make an avowal of his opinions, especially
when invited to do so by his constituents.
At a crisis like the present, when, at least, a
large and respectable share of the people believe
that trearhery, base in'rigue, and quibble are relied
upon as the most ready passports to office, I should
think you would embrace w ith pleasure every op
poitunity to aveit from youxself such a charge —
and moreover, sir, if you wish to see enjoyed ail
the advantages of undisguised representation—if
you wish to perpetuate the holy attributes atten
dant upon the pierog.itive of freemen, you should,
in such a spirit, come out, whether you entertain
opinions consonant with the district or not, and let
them be known:. Then you will have done your
duty, and also have put it in the power of the peo
ple to do theirs; and not as things stand at present
to be so indistinct—so locked up, a* to be reduced
to the degraded condition of being differently un
derstood by as many different squads as may col
lect upon every court-yard throughout the district.
The designs, like the stations of public men,
should be purely pullic—They should be above the
filthy atmosphere of faction or intrigue—those who
have not boldness enough to proclaim their princi
ples, even from the house-top, if not already,
can soon become wicked enough to make a pri
vate market of the public interest, and consequent
ly are rendered unlit to be either the maker or the
expositor of the laws intended to govern a free
man .
I he people, I beg you to be assured, Sir, are not
as inert and torpid as you may imagine, and no
doubt, most anxiously hope, upon the subjects
upon which your opinion has been asked -and if
they are even so now, loan extent unbecoming
their interest, then are men to be found in the dis
trict, ready to stimulate them to their duty, and
arouse them from their political lethargy—They
will be told, and in trulh too, that the same spirit
of feeling that will refuse explanation when called
on by the whole, or any part of the constituent
body, would violate the freedom of the people,
trample upon their rights, generate aristocracy, and
encourage all the evils that follow in its traip,
were it in the compass of its power.
For my own part, I consider the amenability of
^representatives his constituents, the right of the
people to demand of Lim his opinion upon subjects
involving the natian’s interest and good, and his
duty to answer such questions, whenever submit
ted, as the fortress and ark of our safety.
ff no covert design, no sinister disposition lurks
unseen, to impose upon the people—if all is sound
— if nothing is rotten in Denmark, in God’s name,
where is the difficulty or objection in answering
**»• questions I have propounded to you?_Arn I to
believe it requires a combination of qualities,
which it is impossible to find united, in making an
exposition of views upon subjects so stnpt of am
biguity, as the most dull of apprehension can at
once comprehend the importance, and see the drift
of?—if so, I can but own, I am too much of a
rustic republican, to learn the requisitions, and to
practice the etiquette of the present times.
•Be the fashion though what it may, I am pleased
to know the lesson which I have learned in my short
fife, inculcates the duty of filling all the olfices of
the country, (so far as I may have agency,) by
combining as much talent, energy, honesty, and
independence as possible, and to regard the two
matter, which are almost inseparable concomitants,
V lhc m08t important ingredients in the compo
sition. Y
A word in time, sir, may save you much trou
ble, and stil) secure to you an office which, I
know, you have much at bean—It is not at ail
Uprising that you should look to it as a station,
»t your time of life and situation, of more than
usual moment and interest. To take no other
*ww of it, the single consideration of its being
relied upon as a stepping-stone, through (ha influ- I
enceof your friends at couri, (you know who I
mein.) to tine of more permanency, as well as of
'nore emolument, is abundantly sufficient to call
-will your earnest solicitude for a continuation of
favour of the people.
Take care you tio not put off your afiswer too
long, else you may share the fate of a coward who
has given a thousand proofs of his cowardice, and
then fights in the vain hope of regaining what he
had lost. Rely upon it, silence will be more
fatal to you, than an open avowal of your opin
ions, even should they differ with a large majority
of your district—the one is within the reach of
argument and discussion, the other is beyond re
dress. ^
From my knowledge of your character, I feel I
conscious of the contempt with which you will
pretend to look down upon an ot>scure freeholder
— but you should not forget that a rnou-e dis
charged from his confinement the King of the fo
rest— that a stripling prevailed against the vaunting
and proud Philistine, and though humble in condi
tion, and still more humble in talents, that truth is
omnipotent, and that the materials which your ri
lencemsy put into my hands, taken together with
others, which a retrospect of your life will furnish,
may cause you to descend, in sadness and depres
sion, from the elevation, upon which you con
ceive, you are now so permanently established.
Acting upon the principle «f fair dealing, I have
thought it my duty, sir, to give you another oppor
tunity to escape from the difficulty, and for what 1
know, the political downfall in which yeur silence
tnay involve you.
Should you still pertinaciously persist in thi*
course, I may feel it my duty, at some leisure mo
ment, to offer some comments upon the reasons and
motives which, in my opinion, induced you to si
lence; and in doing so, I shall take the liberty of
indulging in all the latitude, which the circumstan
ce-of the present as well as the past time, will
allow me.
A Freeholder of the District.

the following letter, from Robert Taylor, esq’
our present representative in Congress, w hich be
ing re»d, the Committee conceiving it not a pri
vate one, but implicating the conduct of the meet
ing, and some of the members of the Committee;
therefore, Resolved unanimously, that the aaij let
ter, with the annexed reply be put.lished in the
• irginia Herald and Ilichnioiu! Enquirer.
_ „ Orange, Oct. 10th, 1S2G.
Dear Sir:
Upon my arrival nt home on yester
day, I had the Virginia Herald put into my hand*,
wherein is the accourt of the proceedings 0f»the
people at your Courthouse on the last court day.
I o the statement your name as Chairman is at
tached. I was at your Courthouse at the lime,
and though not personally present in the Court
house, where the meeting was held, to witness the
result, yet 1 was informed of it so immediately
alter, by so many respectable gentlemen who were
in the courthouse at the time, as to Jeave.no
doubt upon n.y mind what was the truth. Their
information has been confirmed to me since by
j Mr. Joseph Herndon, and all of them concurred
j m tlu«, that there was a decided majority against
| adopting the resolutions, &c. submitted by Bryce
| *nd Minor. It has not escaped me that some
j gentleman, \vho had been present at the meeting,
i has given it as his confident opinion that the ac
count of the proceedings as published in the Herald,
I is not true. But his account of it, if my informa
) tion was right, does not appear to me so flatly to
contradict the statement as the truth would autho
rise. I have a right therefore to expect of you,
however you may he opposed to me, as a lover of
justice, to contradict the statement, in the paper
which has given it publicity, if the statement is
wrong; or it you*.think it right, that you will so
say to me, that I may endeavour to get the certifi
j cates of those gentlemen who communicated the
i"sue to me, than whom none are more respectable.
! It was intimated to me in Fredericksburg, and
indeed beiore I got there, that my enemies were
much disappointed, and intended to publish an in
correct statement of the transaction; but I thought
the fear of having its error exposed, would restrain
them. It seems, however, it has not; to your jus
**lere^0re» as the pre-iding member, I appeal.
\V by these unworthy mean* are resorted to, to in
jure me in the e.isuing election, I in vain look in
my past conduct — I have said enough, and shall
hope to hear very soon from you.
Yours respectfully,
ROBERT TAYLOR.
REPLY.
Fredericksburg, Oct. 24/ft, 1S2G.
Sir,
Your letter of the 10th inst. addressed to me,
has been received, and as its contents refer to the
proceedings of some of the citizens of Spottsylva
nia county, convened at their Court house, on a
subject of public interest; and as it calls on me in
my character of Chairman of that meeting, I
felt it a duty to submit it to the Committee appoint
ed by that meeting. I have been instructed to
forward to you, as an answer to your letter, the
following remarks :
•n.cung»s citizen* anti treehohlers of the county,
on a question of national concern, we do not re
cognise any right of interference on your part,
m our proceedings} that the wilt of the constituent
may he palsied by the representative, though a
fashionable doctrine among some politician-, we
will never suffer it with us to explode the old
republican principle, that we have a right to
choose our own representative, and to prefer
one fellow-citizen to another. It was for this
purpoae that the meeting at Spottsylvania Court
house was convened. It consisted not of enr
mus to yourself, but of those who prefer Judge
Harbour, and be their number large or i>nwl), you
cannot dispute their right to act, nor ought you to
impeach their motives, standing a« you do in the
character of their present representative— Delica
cy should have dictated un absence on your part,
from die Court, and especially from the room where
the proceedings were going on. The meeting at
the Courthouse was unquestionably a very thin one;
the Court having consumed the greater part of the
day in their ordinary business, a meeting of the
people could not be convened until late in the after
noon, when many had gone away; as far as we have
heard, about 35 or 40 freeholders were in the Court
house; some confusion hsving arisen, when the vote
was taken by ayes and nays, it was retaken by
Holding up of hands; some respectable gentlemen
who sat upon the Justices’ Bench, and whose ele
vated seat enabled them to be belter judges, have
assured us, that on the adoption of the letter, a
majority of hands was apparent, and the president
of the meeting, from his own view, and the de
claration of others, proclaimed the resolution
adopted.
Whatevej may have been the vote at that meet
mg, we are well assurer) that a large majority of
the county, prefer Judge Barbour, and that few to
whom the letter has been presented, have refused
to subscribe to it.
In answer to that part of your letter, in which
you charge, on the confident opinion of some
gentleman, that the account of the proceedings
published in the Virginia Herald, ia not true, and
which you seem to 'hink docs not go as fsr as truth
would authorize, we have no other answer to
give, than a copy of the proceedings, as prepared
by the committee, and published in the Herald —
viz:
At a meeting of eome of the citizens of Spott
sylvania county, at the courthouse, on Monday the
2d of October, 1326.
Col. Thot. Minor was called to the Chair, and
Col. tr. Smith, appointed Secretary.
1 be object of the meeting having been explain
ed: On motion the following address to Philip Pen
dleton Barbour, was adopted, to wit:
To PHILIP p. HARBOUR, Esq
Sin, —This Meeting has heard with much satis
faction, the request of their Fellow-Citizets of
j \
Louira, tml jotaw-ih content to *e»ve ttfo District,
in Congress, at the next Election. This meeting
cordially agree with them in the danger* which
threaten the country from the doctrines of discre
tion and expediency; the abandonment of the
constitution, the rule of those who have not the
confidence of the people, and your ability with «
ther tried republicans, to check and correct them
Adopting the address of (he people of Louisa,
•s agreeing entirely with its own sentiments on this
subject — this meeting lias only to ask your com
pliance with the request, and assure you that it
will meet with i's warmes’ approbation.
YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS.
It was further Resolved, by the meeting—that
a committee be appointed to concert w ith Commu
te*8 in other counties of the district, the proper
means for obtaining the object of this meeting, and
to obtain the signatures ot the Fieehohlers (.f thi*
county, to the foregoing address— whereupon,
Thomas Minor, (Chairman.) Waller Holiday, Jno!
A. Billingsby,Garret Minor, Carter L. Stevenson,
Thcreit Towles, Jno. H. Wallace, Robert Pow
ell, Pe»er Dudley, Richard L. Stevenson, John
Penny, Lewis Rawlings, Smdford Chancellor,
Fayette Johns'on, Wm. Gordon, Gulielmus
Smith, and Henry T. Philips, were appointed up
on said committee.
Resolved, That the Editor* of the Va. Herald,
and Richmond Enquirer, be respectfully requested
to pub.ish these proceeding*.
I'HOS: MINOR, (Chairman.)
Gulielmus Smith, Sec’ry.
In this plain ard simple narrative, we can per
ceive no mi-repres-nt.it jon of facts or want of truth;
whatever intimations you have heard either it.
Fredericksburg, or elsewhere, that an incorrect
statement was inter ded to be published, and y..ur
own declaration “ that it was not restrained by
tear of exposure,” we have only to say, that the
committee whose duty it was to make out and pub
lish the proceedings, have loo high * sense of moral
propriety to nuke incorrect statements, and value
their character* and leeliugs too well lo subject
tlietaselves to exposure.
kou spesk of your enemies; we know not who
they may be; we do not consider ourselves as such,
in preterring in th:s important and dangerous crisis
ot our country, the active and splendid talents of
Judge Barbour, in the Councils of the nation.
I HO.MAS MINOR, Chairman.
To Robert Tayi.or, Esq, ^

Controversy!—-The di*ru«sion between Patrick
Henry and Onslow; the champion of the Admin
istration in the JVhtional Journal, and of Mr.
Calhoun in the JVational Intelligencer, is termi
nateil or suspended. As to the author of Onslow,
Slat nomiuis umbra- our enquiries at lea-t have
not yet penetrated the veil, which conceal* him.
I’he author ot P. Henry is said to lie a Mr. F. of
the “ ten miles square”- a very sensible man, and
who is also said to be the author of a pretty bitter
criticism on the far-famed ** nutation and aberia
tion” Oration of July 4th, 1821.
The following are the closing strains of Onslow
We do uot understand, that Patrieit Henry has yet
taken up the gauntlet which hi* adversary has
thrown down -But he is probably waiting for the
session of Congress, as the period of the tournament:
“1 do not wish to discuss either: they are irrele
vant to the great question between us; and they
open topics too extensive and too important to be
discu.sed incidentally; but if you are desirous of
forcing a discussion, I am fully prepared to meet i:,
and to vindicate, triumphantly, the great am* good
men whom you have slandered, from (he charge of
having entered into an “ oppo.ilion to men, with
out the slightest regard to principle.” And that
j ou may be apprised of the grounds in advance, if
you desire to go into the controversy, I will inform
you of that which 1 am prepared to occupy. 1 am
not atraid of any advantage, from the most open
course, in so strong a cause. I then, am prepared
to demonstrate, that the principles on which Mr.
Adarn* came into power, and which have been
attempted to be vindicated by his and Mr. Clay’s
friends, are utterly inconsistent with the principles
of the Constitution, as they have ever been under
stood and acted on by the Republican party, and
that, if not successfully resisted by the People,
must, in a short time, convert our Government
first into an oligarchy, and finally, at no long inter
val, into a monarchy. That the same principles
would have justified the election of Burr, as Pre
sident, by ;he House of Representatives, over Jef
ferson, and would have justified the former, if he
had succeeded, in appointing Mr. Dayton, the then
Speaker, who had been his political opponent,
but supported him against Mr. Jefferson, or any o
thet influential member in the same situation, Secre
tary of Slate; fcin constituting a majority of his ca
binet of his former political opponents. I am, also,
prepared to shew, fully, that the example of Mr.
Jefferson, who was clearly the popular choice, in
appointing Mr. Gallatin, and o'hers who support
ed him in the House, and who thus acted in ac
corJ with their previous declaration and princi
ples, and in obedience to the known will of their
Constituents, is altogether dissimilar to the case
of the appointment of Mr. Clay by Air. Adams, and
does not give it the least countenance; and that
the innocent example of Mr. Jefferson, which ha
been thus forced to cover a tran-aetion so dissim
ilar, is strong proof how dangerous examples may
v.xr-.ij niiu iHcauiasuy an ought to
be resisted which are susceptible of dangerous
tendency. Finally, I am prepared to shew, that
the principles on which the administration is or
ganized, the rules which have governed in ap
pointment to office, all the doctrine* contained in
the inaugural address of Mr. Adaui*, and in his
Messages to Congress, are a departure from the
principles of the Constitution and the American
*y*tem of politics, and are in imitation of the
FJnglish, and, if not opposed with success, must
lead to a political state, every way analogous to
that which has been the great means of bringing
about that terrible state of affliction under which
the People of Great Britain are now suffering. It
is a maxim in many of-our State Constitutions, that
liberty ran only be pieseivpd by frequent recurren
ces to first principles. Never was a more impor
tant political truih uttered: and never was there
grea*er necessity for its application. We must re
cur to first principles; go back to the doctrines <>f
the Revolution, to the principles of the Constitu
tion, and to the period of the great Republican
struggle, which brought Mr. Jefferson into power,
and that which gloriously carried us through the
second war of Independence, and, if you choose to
force a discussion, I shall not find it difficult to
prove that those who are striving to save this
country and its liberty, by such recurrence to
first principles, do not constitute “ a factious
opposition.” _
NEW YORK.
We understand, that the election in the State of
N. York, for Governor, Members of the Legisla
ture, &c. will be warmly contested. The result
of the ranva«s for governor is exceedingly uncer
tain —That for the Legislature is confidently pre
dicted to terminate in the triumph of the Repub
lican I’arty in both branches. The Representation
in Congress is expected to be better than it has
been for 20 years.
Among the meeting* which have been held by
the Republican Party, that in the town of Albany
on the 27ih October was the most numerous and
interesting. The Capitcl wa* crowded. The Ar
gus says, that •' The nominations were confirmed
by acclamations, and repeated bursts of applause
accompanied the remarks of the Speakers.” JVa
than Sanford was called to the Chair, and Peter
W endell appointed Secretary. A committee was
appointed to draft resolution*;consoling of Messrs.
Martin Van Ruren, Edward Livingston, Elisha
Dorr, Philip Ph*lps and Charles E. Dudley.
After a short time, the Committee returned and
Mr. Van Buren repotted sundry resolutions, which
were adopted by acclamation. These approved
of the nomination made by the Herkimer Conven
tion, of W. B, Rochester for Governor, and N.
Pitcher for Lieutenant Governor, tc. The two
last resolutions are aa follows:
Ilesohed, That in the approaching election,
republicans ought to cultivate union, discard
personal prejudices, and apply all just means
to the support of the Geueral Cause.
V
** Jlesolved, Ytiat this meeting take pride in ac
knowledging their continued abherence to those
political principles, which were taught by Jeffer
son, sustained by Madison, and which, in our
opinion, are the only true doctrines of the con
stitution.”
This last resolution breathes that ardent attach
ment to the true doctrine* of the constitution on
which the prosperity of our country 00 essentially
depei.de-We hail it with delight.
Both patties in New York seem to have agreed
to by over their opinion* on national politic*" till
the state struggle is over.—For the first time near
ly, neither of them has adopted any resolutions in
lavor of the existing Administration of the General
Government. Some of the members of the Utica
Convention were anxious to declare their fealty;
but fear forbad them. It i* said, upon good au
thority, that 7-Sihsof the Herkimer Convention
were opposed to the National Administration. In
truth, we are informed, that/he bone &. muscle of the
Republican party in N. York are in the opposition.
The time is not probably hr distant when this fact
will be clearly demonstrated. In the mean time
let the friends to the true doctrines of the (.’oik
Mitution stand fact. New York will in all proba
bility do her duty—The movements in N. Jersey
will then be of little account.
MORE TARIFF.*
A numeious meeting of the ManTtfaefurers
Woollens, wa* held at the Exchange Coffee House
in Boston, on the 23d inst.— It i* staled, that gen
tlemen bom different parts < t the S ate, bore wit
ness to the •* unp.irall.-le l depression” of the Wol
len Manufactures of the country and the Meetin
theu unanimously came to the Re«olu’ioit to me^
morialize Congress «• for on increase of duties
°f Wollen Goods. ’ A memorial vra- according
ly adopted, and a Committee appointed to invite
the co-operation of the manufacturers of other
states.
Waiving the general question of the expediency
ot interfering with private pttrsui'*, is this the pro
per time for enlarging the tariff?—There is a rumour,
that the revenue for the present year is calculated 1
to fill short two vr three millions (in the itn
po-t) in consequence of the decreased impor
tation* of foreign good* effected by the operation
of the present Tariff. Is thi* true? And if it he
true, is this the time to effect a still greater reduc
tjon—and to have rccour-e to loans, or internal
t3Xes? "W e should be obliged to the Editor* of 1
the Nat. Intelligencer, if they would ascertain
whether there is an} truth in this rumour.

within the letters of the New Treaty, we have
carefully examined that instrument, but cannot find
the shadow of one to justify it.
We understand that when Co). Brearly ascer'ained
that the McIntosh Indians were not to share in the
money which bag been paid, he wrote the Secre
tary of War, remonstraing against it; but receiv
ed an answer altogether unsatisfactory_It has
heretofore been understood that they were about
to send a party to explore the Western Territory,
beyond the Mississippi, in order to fix a place for
their futuie residence; but we now learn that this
ha* been abandoned, and that they will remain;
unless they receive a remuneration for their land. I
Asa further cause, and one why they must remain;'
it is said that the hostiles hate determiner] that I
they shall do so; and that party has passed a law
in council to punish with death all who shall at
tempt to emigrate. | African Messenger.
The Hamilton Papers. — It will probably be
recollected hy our readers that a Chancery suit was
instituted some eighteen months ago, by Mr*.
Hamilton, to recover certain paper* deposited for i
safe keeping with Mr. Htifti* King, by the acting
executor of fien. Hamil on. Various allusions
made in the newspapers to the supposed character
and contents of those papers, induced us to pub
lish at the time, so much of the hill in Chancery j
as specified these particulars. By this extract it .
appeared that these papers consisted chiefly of let
ters between Gen. Washington and Hamilton, re-j
lative to the composition of Washington’s Fare-j
well Address.
The question of authorship in this case having
been put to rest by the conclusive letter of John
J.«y, recently published, (though written and trans
j milted many years ago) the motive for withholding
1 the documents committed to Mr. King ; the chiel
of whirh was, that their contents might remain un
divulged, ard that no indiscreet use might bemade
of them, no longer existed. Mr. K. accordingly
directed hia counsel to notify the family of Gen.
Hamilton, that in consequence of the publication
of Mr. jay’s letter, he no longer felt himself bound
by the trust delegated to him, to withhold the pa.
pert claimed ; and that they were therefore sub
ject to the order of any person duly authorized to
receive'hem. They were thereupon delivered to
Mr. J. Hamilton, and the suit was discontinued.
