'The (Joveruot s letter tn the T.eoitiat\:e c *'
evas area iptt.iird by 17 Documents :
one of which only Z>M.. yet been prefented tn the
public conf deration. Some of the/l- Documents
are by no means intere/ling at t/se p relent time, lu
the fuhjlance of feveral of them has already been
communicated to the public thro’ other channels ;
and as font e of them relate merely to private ami
local concerns. Hence, in freaking of all the pa
pers of this clnfs, it is fujfcient to make a n-err
general and diftant reference.—There remain a
few, however, which are calculated to convey
forne original information on ftbjefts of general
importance. All the papers of this clajfs, will
therefore be prefented in their entire form.
The Paper No. !—Is the public notice re
quired by law of the rrfult of the Election of
Ele&ors, forchoofinga l'refident and Vice Pre
fident of the United States.”
No. y—Contains the refignation ofWilfonC.
Nicholas, and A. B. Venable, as Senators of
the United States.—The vacancies thereby pro
duced were filled by a temporary appointment
by the Executive Council, of W. 11. Gilt s and
Ardrcw Moore, which have been lately confirm
ed by the present Legiflature. Thefe letters
will deferve publication, both on account of the
high character which their authors have acquir
ed, and becaufe the event which they feparatcly
announce is probably the mod intcrefting inci
dent of their lives.
A orjolk, May 22d, ISOt.
Sir,
When I pa (Ted through Richmond on iny
'joumev to this town, I Ihould have prefented
to your Excellency the refignation of my feat in
the Senate of the United States, had I formed
the refolution that I have now taken.
The Prefident of the United Stateshaving of
fered to my acceptance the port of Collector of
Norfolk, I came hither to decide, .after a more
accurate view of the fubjeCt, what meafure I
ought to adopt. The high honor that has been
conferred upon me by my country, has never
ceafed to be duly appreciated, with the fullnefs
of gratitude which it fo juftly demands ; and
were I not confcious that a fuccefior can readi
ly he found more competent than myfelf to the
duties of a Senator of the United States, nothing
would induce me to afle permilfionto reiinquilh
that refpeCtablc ftation. As it is, however, I
truft that I lliall not be confidcred as abandon
ing that affectionate attachment which I have
always profit IT'cd, and will never fail to prove on
any occalion, to my native ftate, when I enter
into an office under the General Government.
Let me entreat your Excellency to receive
this as my refignation; and when you commu
nicate it to the General Allembly, fuffer me to
requeft them, fir, through you, to receive mv
warmeft acknowledgements for their kindnefs,
and to be afRired of my devotion to thofe prin
ciples, which have drawn forth their fuccefsful
efforts towards the effablifhment of our prefent
happy fyftem of affairs.
f have the honor fir to be, with the highefl
refpeff and peifonal efteem,
Your Excellency’s moft cbed’t ferv’t,

S»iR,
A variety of confiderations have made it
neceflary that I fhould refign my lituation as a
fer.tf tor of the United States. You w ill pleafe to
accept this as a notification, in order that the
vacancy may be filled, if it fhould he deemed
p if ary, by the Executive, before the next
rr. .’ting of Congrcfs. I cannot help on this oc
ca'it a, exprefling the great regret I feel on re
lin ;niihing an office conferred on me by the Ge
^uia! Aflembly, before the term of fervice con
^k^^atpd. had been compleated ; but the great
le:*gin or time that I have been in the public
fcrvice, hasfo fardif.ibled me from attending to
my private affairs, as to make this meafure ra
ther a matter of ncceflity than of choice.
Be pleated to accept aflurances of my high
vk fpeifl, and believe me to be, with great regard,
Your obed't ferv’t,

No. 5—Isa letter from the Governor of Maf
fachufctts, with certain refolutions of the Lc
giflature of that (late, propofingan amendment
to the Conftitution of tlie United States.—Thefe
► are commonly called Ely’s amendments, and
were publiflied foon after their adoption in June
of the prefent year. Mr. Bidwell’s Speech in
the fenate of Maflachufetfs, which was con
cl nded in the Lift No. of this paper, was intend
ed to expoTe the fallacy and definitive tenden
cy of thefe celebrated refolutions.
No. fi—Contains a refolution of the General
Affembly of Kentucky, propofing a co-opera
tion on the part of Virginia, with that itatc,
Pennfylvania and the (late of Ohio, in opening
the rapids of the river Ohio.—The bejl mode of
caiTyingon the commercial communication be
tween thi3 wjlern country and the ocean, is
perhaps at this time one of the mnft curious and
important problems in the political ccconomy
of the U. S. Whether the expence of tranfpor
tation through the Mifliflippi and its branches
is greater or lef* than tlie expence of trr.nfporta
tion through the waters which empty into the
Atlantic ocean, appears to be the timpli fubjetfl
of enquiry. All experimental refearches, which
are intended to elucidate thi« queftion • Si every
political meafure which is adopted to facilitate
either mode of tranfportation. are consequently
entitled to our rotifiderate attention. It is on
this account that we copy at full length the pro
ceeding* of the Kentucky Legiflature.
