nentS. had as iIeye fubmit any caL. of
controversy 70 the Elent Judgment of an en-
emy as to friend Yer tits 70 Be larert- ~

dIfcufiion of a cafe to an enemy, and rifoue
I his candor IN declaring his judgment.-Here
follows a portion the anfwer, containing
the rlauie on which was founded Mr.. Nor.
tons firit objection. I" We concur with your
Excelency that i is the dutv Of the fate
goTernaents 70 watch over The riphts
guaranteed TO them by the conItitution.-
It IS ESPECIALLY their duty TO guard with ical-
Gus vigilance thc PreicrVation Of the Union
upon juit and equal principles, and 10 repel
all meaiures calculated to coniolidate the
itates under the dominiop Of Jingle fate
In the above IS contained the ground work
ot Mr.. Morton's hrit objection. Let me
ak you. Mr.. Allen, whether it Is poiIible
that the people, Especially republicans, will
agree with you and your dictator, (Mor.on)
IN the opinion that i is not our duty, 70 10
watch, guard and repel, Especially at this
time, when as faid before, there is every
indication Of defgn on the part of Virgin
ia finally TO give laws 70 her lilter ftatcs ?
" III NOT the people agree with me that the
the language ought TO be an hundred times
more pointed and explicit that il IS not
only the duty cf legislators, but alto of eve
ry Individual in the United States, to cxprefs
their difaPProbation and Indignation at the
fiTit dawning Of illicit ambition in any fate /?
Here follows another portion of the anfwer
containing the other chie6fion. /" If fuch
influence can be obtained, in the National
Councils by afpiring men as to enable them
70 alter this tacred inftrument at their plea
fure," sc. Here the words 4" by afpirina
men" were 70 give unrtrage TO iome tndi-
viduai, and who is 70 ignorant as not to
know, that he had reference TO Jack Ran
dolPh, at the head Of Virginia members Of
Congreis. Now Tom, would ak YOU a.
gain, whether you can expect that the peo-
pie, more Especially republicans, will ioin
with you and your dictator, Morton, TO fup-
prei3 genuine republican language for fear
OF irritating young American BeDaparte,
who Is, as iaid before, continually quar-
reling with the members Of Congref,, envy
ing all ealtern members who hold offices Of
honor or profit Under The government I In
fance his attempt TO impeach Gideon Gran
ger, Poh-Mafter General Of the United
States, and Others. Do you expect thae
the people will join with you and your die
tator, 10 fotter and bring up a Young, am
bilious and unPrincipled Virginian, while
ne is daily infulting the members whom
they have chofen and fcnt to negotiate their
governmental concerns and watch their
rights and liberties Are not the people
yet iore with the enormous expence, which
he has laddled them with, by his wild ca
reer in the profecution Of the Hon. Judge
Chatc ? But the Judge, perhaps was, as
the poet iays, forced to his good againn
his WILL" for upon an ihteeigation he was
cleared BY the Senate Of the United Staw,
ani reinltated in the confidence Of all hon
eft men, who had been wavering concerning
his integrity on account of faIle reports.-
BIZ Tom, fufPe9 that you aud your die
tator are di(poGeA to cenlure the Senate for
di(ooliging the feeling Ct Jack in net cen
demning the Hon. Judge e'--But you are
cowards and dare not attack fu perior force.
But lince you are 70 particular with me,
as TO call me TO an account for not adher-
ing to men withoS: regard g principles, I
need give you notice that fhaIl in my
turn, fince you Profeis 70 adhere to men,
call on you to reconcile the conduct of the
meR with The principles By Us once conten-
ded for.
