the Miilitippi Territory, and gentlemen

never yet been called in queition, have
come forward to MIR. JeHerfon, with relti-
monies highly honorable to my admin

exPreiied s. confidence and hope, thar

to Tong and neritorious fervices no,
removal from an Office, which fhall rake
care to eRablhh, has been aominihered

!" Mr.. Jefsrion himfelf declared to me
at Warrington, that from every thing
which had been exhibited aeainft me, no.
thing difhonorable, in bis 7vicqv, had at

The government of the MiGiGippi ter

to proltrate good order, and Iaudable zeal
In the country of my reGdence, is become
LET'S defrable, by the continued difpohtion
TO beitow it on MIR. Claiborne and as
my official reputation ieerns Of very lisrIe
coniequence TO the PRECEDENT, the Placement
which was to have the honor of making

The only remark | fhall make on the
conduit above alluded to is, that an exc

to have had fuficient nerve and openneEs,
NOT TO have Ratl<red while it Rabha, nor
to have played the kyp0ente while it acted
the tyraut.
