representation offacts deserve those epi-I
thets-or that 6 the rules of conduct en-
joined by my public station were, in
any way violated, unlessit be understood
that the rule of conduct for men in Office
is an implicit and blind obedience. As
the convention, sir, was to meet in pur-
suance Of an act of congress, whereby
the election Of the members was directed
to BE made according 10 a law Of the ter
ritory that had existed, but had been long
REPEALED sense of public duty led me

mably to the spirit Of the act, and the ex-l

made conformably to the words Of the

had done within my public capacity.-
Every citizen had right to address that
body, either openly or in writing, and
that right was common to me with the
rest, and believe, sir, it IS a paramount
duty which every person owes TO the
community of which he is member to
give warning, either to the represents

the rights of thst community are invaded
from whatever quarter the invasion may
come, and 70 direct them, If he can, to
the means Of warding il Of, or Of repel-

the violent, hasty and unprecedented in
tfsision Of the Legislature of.the United
States into the Internal concerns of the
north western territory, was at least in
decorous and inconsistent with its public
duty, and might add, that the trans
ferring above FIVE thousand people, with
out their knowledge or consent, from a
country where they. were in possessions Of
self government, to another where they
will be at least for 4 time be deprived of
that privilege, was something more than
indeeorous, and that had it happened in
Germany, whsrs such things have hap
pened, no man in America, would have
hesitated to call itby harsher term.

as too many other sonsare become, there
are still vast proportion Of them who

for the peculiar delicacy you observed,
in communicating the delivery of your
Nletter, and in furnishing him with copy
oft, to Mr.. Byrd, against whom there
were in your hands to be laid before the
president, complaints Of something more
th1n mere indeeorum, and of total ne
gleet Of and refusal to perform his offici-
al duties. Its sir, such strokes as this
which serve 10 develope character, and,
like the relief In painting, bring out the
figure, distinctly, inits proper shape--ir
