Observing, in yonr paper of yesterday, my
name mentioned as one Of a committee pro-
posed for the county of York, to promote the
success of the Monroe ticket, / think if nro-
per to declare, notwithstanding my high re-
spect tor the individuals VINO have named me
on this occasion, and my unbounded venera-
ton Tor the virtuous patriot whom they sup
port, that it has uniformly been my intention
to vote for the ticket in favour of Madison.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER.

observed in your paper Of the Doth instant
that am appointed member of the Committee
IN Goochland for the promotion of Col MoERoE
as our next President. 1t is impossible for any
man to hold in higher, or even more grateful es
tmation the services, virtues and talents of this
alnIable gentleman than myself.--Ith he would
make an excellent Chief Magistrate but can.
dour prompts me to declare, that cannot aban-
don Mr. Madison, and that think it was inpru.
dent in our assembly to bring these characters
ints mpcttion-Especially finding that such is
the hberality of nearly all the other states, that
they are disposed to select a successor to the IL.
lnstrlous Jefferson from ours-provided they can
be only accommodatedinthe their choice.--The great
est enthusiast Of Col Monroe, unless he is an on.
poser OF the present administration or a satellite
of John Randolpl's, will not deny Mr. Madison's
qualifications for the Presidency

He states that the prrvailisg opinion a
the British settlements in that neighbor-
hood Is that there wilibe a war between
this country and Great Britain. In cor.
roborasion Of this opinion he states that
there are nov at Fort Amherstburg, .
British post about eighteen miles from
Detroit, Al least 1900 Indians, almost
exclusively warriors. That they are all
armed, and supported at the expense Of
the British, and with great liberality
that their arms are guns, riftes and to-
mahawks /, and. that since August there
has been constantly there between two
and three thousand. In case Of war, 1t
is expected that, under the auspices Of
the British, a general massacre will take
place, for which they are held in readi-
ness, and from which none but those
within the fort can expect to escape
Should such . nefarious measure Be re-.
sorted to. countrymen may rest as

t&ken on its perpetrators.
