declared, that The empire was in danger I;
that it was the duty of every Musselman TO

Your very fattering letter of the 1st inst. has
recalled 10 mind subject which has before Civ.
en- me some uneasness. 1 have regretted that
could not, as thought, with propriety notice
as you would wish the character of Thomas
farne. Knew him well and no man has high
CT opinion OF the merit of his labors in the cause
oil hoerty, In this country and throughout the
worid-but he was unjust to himself His pri-
sate lie disgraced his public. character Ger
tain immeralIties, and low and vulgar habits,
which are apt to follow in the train Of almost ha
pituai drunkenness, rendered him disgusting OBJ
lect Tor many OF the latter years fhs life though
MS msntal faculties retained much of their for
mer lustre.
Among the distant friends of bis fame and
admirers OF his talents, like yourself, these OBJ.
Jections would not strike the mind so forcbly-
ihey VIII justly demand why he is not grouped
An the constellation Ofour Iumnaries, among the
Fatriots and Sages who have their places in the
poem you menton-Those who have contempla.
ted himonly in private life, who have either not
read his writings or have chosen to forget them,
OF which classes there are too many among nv
readers, would be highly offended to see his name
treated with any respect or approbation-While
those who have known him, as have DONE a
mong the most illustrous and most contemplate
OF human beings, must be afflicted at the con.
trast, and grieve that they cannot snatch him
from among the last, and fix him in that place a.
lone where his good genius ought to have pre-
served him.
Perhaps these reasons will not be satisfactory
TO you-They are scarcely so to me.-But in the
History OF the United States, on which am at
present occupied, he will find his place 1t is his
most proper place, where strict and ample Jus.
