While deeply dcplore the circumst2 nce which
has led to this correspondence, / am consoled
with the pleasing idea, that the chief inseistrscy
OF the union is cOntded 60 man who merits and
who possesses so great portion of the esteem
and the confidence of vast majority oft.e citi-
zens OF the United States who is 80 i tiglatev
acquainted with the principles of the federal
constitution, and who is no less disposed to pro-
-tect the sovereignty and independence OF thu sew
eral states, as guaranteed 10 them than to defend
the rights and legitimate powers OF the general
government who will Justly discriminate be-
tween opposition to the constitution and Ia wa of
!
cree of judge, founded, as / is conceived, in
usurpatlon of power and jurisdcl ion, not delega-
ted to him by either and who is equally so!ioi-
teus with myself to preserve the union of the
states, and TO adjust the present unhappy coilisi-
on OF the two governments in such manner as
viii be equally honorable to them both
Permit me TO add, in addition to the act have
done as the chief magistrate ofthe state of Penn.
sylYania, TO assure you, sir, as AN individual of
