To 'he People of the U States. I ..we ah

produced my restg ,tii ti >, m Office of So
i crvtary ol State. I his duty, irk-mme as it
is, it is my pu pos- tv •« t rt,.orni. It ia
unexpectedly dev lved up n ui. by the ir
resistible necessity l obviating the h- nest
misapprehensions of some and hi wan on
misrepresentations mothers. C nsi. ,ed
then, as 1 reluctantly am, to come fmth 1>
have, in the outset, only tQ pr. u.ise, that hi»
t-xqosiiinii shall be noth ng but i ritt, unv ar
iM-med siateineiii of lac s, with i ht super.,
addition ot only such observations as may
occasionally he necessary to a d.atinci un~
demanding of the narration. My ohj.ct is
the vindication of myselt : And if m this
vindication, there should he involved any se
rious questions as to Mr. Madison, it will
. onty be because such a result is inevitable.
I In this undertaking, I have an eye to the
! s'orm that I will have to buffi t;_.a storm,
j that will br excited bv the parasites of pow

i 5 la* ion ot having m my view l,e Ame: icarv

sal experience, ha* “ in 11. xertions of duty
something IS to lie hazard*.- **
Mr. Madison\ offer to me of the mission*
to Russia, which he has allowed t<, ,b» •• of
the utmost importance to the Conn 'ercc
of the United ba es, and memos honorable
appoint ment abroad that is in the git of
our (Jovernment,” is demonstrative proof
oi his confidence in me, as to fidelity and as
to capacity in public affairs.
This offer was accompanied with mmy
obsei vations, in appearance, respectfully
ntade, as to the contrariety ot opinion that
had unhappily existed between him and
myself with respect to ceitain measurec
and to certaiti nominations, and in whichr
he seemed to glance particularly at the i Is.
touching our furr-gn relations, tha had ,• tie
introduced by Mi Macon at the session of
i 180^—10, and at the non.intercourse law
Jot the last session. Although his language,
in l ie offer of the mission, and in m* ic*
| companying observations, was ro t at a lnU
fensive. yet there were indications nt em
!’lari-asstnerit and aukwardness, hoi oxcit
I rd in my mind a doubt as to his real > hject*
Unfiti’ ihc inffuence of this suspicion, lisinyy
from my seat 1, with a decorum due a,
