worthy OF notice. Having large farm. and mn
turaiiy attached TO domestic pursuits, his at;en
ton to his estate would have made him ampl.
amends for his labors IN the course of the last
c%ehty Years. had he not been engaged in pubic
ne; t'is industry and management would have
enab cd him 10 improve and beauty his lands
and so TO have enriched and fertilise, tber
AZ noS to be deriving annual advantages from
.nen, equal to the attention which they Dnpbt
iaTe previously received, but these sdvant,se,
nave been DENIED to him r consequence of his
pubic station, and his estate, which has been On
long suffering by his ABSENCE, remains vet tn he
improved by his future attention and that too.
at stage oflfc, when he might have been nj
ease, but for the attention which he has been con.
stantiy giving to the in crest Of his country.
Thus have enumerated some of the stro,o,
reasons which induce me to think that Mr. Giles'
CLAIMS upon his country are very strong. and wbe,
they are summed up, think the aggregate will
fully demonstrate the truth of the proposition
winch have endeavored TO discuss
Pursung my inquiries, in the order in which
the Propositionhss been lad down in my FIRST
number, am now brought TO examine how f.,
The present Administrations and the Virginia Ie
gisature, have acted wisely in tire course winch
has been pursued towards Mr. Cries and
this, ladmit, according to the present temper of
the public mind, | feel to be most delicate en-
quirr' but as nv iect is to conciiiatc. and not
to inHame, teel no diff Guilty in comparing the
opinions which have at different times been cn-
tertaned by Mr.. Giles and Mr.. Madison, with
out in the smallest degree attaching bad faith to
either; nor do see any sort ofpohtical paradox
IN approving both these gentlemen as statesmen.
notwithstanding, tie occasional difference of
OPINION which has existed between them. What
ever errors may have been committed by Mr.
Madison towards Mr.. Giles, shall examine with
Guinness, gond temper, and an entire preserva-
ton OF my friendship Cor NIr Mad son, and if
sNall sometimes find it indispensable TO INV OBJ
lect, to notice the poll cal conduct, and stations,
ct a Few other gentlemen, it vii moi be because

idehce with which it has been their good fortune
to be blessed, but for the sole object of sbewipg
that my proposition is true.
