very slight alteration in congress.
thus do the ungene rous calumnics OF
the enemies of our Chief Magistrate recoiI
upon themselves. In attempting to dero-
gate from his merit, they only prove the
impotence OF their own malice. The part
he took in asserting the independence of
his country-the foundation Of oil her
greainess--is dear 10 his fellow citizens,
and to the friends ofliberty throughout the
world. 1t has covered his brow with a
laurel Which can neve, fade, so long as A
mericans enjoy freedom, and are sensible

DEAR SIR,

have been informed that the feelings
of Col. Read, have been strongly excited,
because my name has been substituted on
the republican electoral ticket, for his,
which stood on the list at the last election
OF President and Vice President of the u
nited States. 1t seems too that many re-
spectacle pr rsons in this district, partici-
pate in the sensations expressed by Col.
Read on that subject, in letter which he
has addressed TO the Corresponding Com
lnttce Of Charlotte. Entertaining, as I
do, the warmest esteem for gentleman,
so respectable in his private character,
and so distinguished for the ardent zeal
and manly Ertnness, with which he has
uniformly maintained the cause of repub-
Ilcanism, | am unwilling to be instrumen.
tall in the rcmoicst manner, to any aGt
which may inact even slight wound on
his sensibility.
tits certain, that he will vote as should,
at the approaching Presidential election /:
and although, the honor of an electoral
appointment, is one highly value, yet
since it is probable, that much pain will
be produced to the feelings of a yrtuous
man, and a schism might be engendered
amongst our political friends in this quar-
ter, should my name remain upon the tick
et, you have my full consent to propose TO
the General Committed Of Correspondence
at Richmond that Col. Read shall be no.
minated for this district, instead of my
self.
j; would be supeinuous for me to ex-
press wish, that in making this change,

SIR,
]. II. FousuFE, Sec'ry.

Tours OIL FEBRUARY iSt, was duly reCeiv.
'ed,and in reply, we beg leave to assure you =,
that the members of thiscommittee, cheer
fully accept of the appointment made by
the republican meeting at the city of Rich
lnond. You may rely that every exerlion
which an ardent and undated attachment
TO the cause of Liberty can effect, will be
made, TO give success to the Republican
Ticket.
When we cali to mind the perilous cri-
sis through which America has lately pass
ed, and consider the present happy and
suspicious state of public affairs, which,
under providence, may so Justly be attri
buted to the wisdom and patriotic irmness
of the present administration, it is with
difficulty we restrain the expression of
those grateful feelings, to the Supreme
Ruler OF nations, which a spectacle so sub
lime and interesting 10 humanity, is cal
culated 10 excite. Long may our happy
country afford to the world, proof, that
Republican Governments are adequate to
afford happiness, security, peace, prospe-
rity and every advantage connected with
the true glory, solid grandeur and real
welfare OF nations: and that these bless
ings may be perpctuated to latest posterity,
rs our most ardent wish.
The committee take the liberty to ex-
press the satisfaction they feel in forward
= ing the enclosed letter, from Major Peter
Johston, and TO unite with the correspond.
ing committee of Charlotte, in the expires
sion of our wishes, that Colonel Thomas
Read, may again be enrolled on the Re-
publican ticket, for this district. We
consider this tribute of respect Justly due
TO the early, uniform, firm and now aged
patriot ofthe revolution, and the manly and
constant advocate Of the republican cause.
We beg leave further TO observe, that the
prompt and polite manner in which Mai.
Johnston has declined the appointment,
has excited towards him, on our part, the
most lively sentiments of respect; and
that this new proof of his devotion to the
cause of republicanism, while it greatly
enhances him in our estimation, affords for
him, fresh claim TO the confidence Of his
country.
We will add, that we think it is due to
the public ard the gentlemen concerned
that this correspondence should be made
public.
am, most respectfully,
Your fellow citizen,
