My FRIENps-for such indeed Won hoy,
proved yourselves 10 be- through good an,,
through evil report throw myself on your
indulgence, to which | have never vet appeal
ed IN vain. 1t is now Just five years since the
state OF my health reluctantly compelled M,
to resist your solicitations (backed by my own
wishes to offer my services To YOUR sufira@es.
The recurrence of IA similar calamity ollscs
me TO retire, for while. from the. Geld of du-
~. and il shall find it impracticabIe To re-
turn by December next, my resignation (alrea-
dy wrIsten) will he rendered tn the Governor
IN Time To prevent your being unrcpresentcd
IN the next session of Congress. 1t would be
offered now, but that the approaching close of
the session would render a reelection nugato
ry as to present purposes. The state of nv
affairs las is well known 10 some of you) re-
quires my presence at home--but self preser-
WALTON imperiously enjoins suspension of all
business whatsoever and inderd, with all nv
Deficiencies for the station in which your par
TALLY has been pleased to place me, | have
never yet postponed your interests to nv
own.
Should the mild climate of France and the
change OF air restore my health you will a
gam find me candidate for your independent
suiirag"s at the next election, (l823.)
have an especial desire tn b in that Cen
gress which will decide (probably by indircc-
tron) the character of the Exccutivr govern
lnent OF the confederation for AT least fou wears
perhaps forever since now, for the first
Time since the institution of this government,
we nave presented to the people the army
candidate for the Presidency in the person OF
him, who Judging from present appearance will
receive the support of the Bank of thu United
States also. This is an union of the purse and
the sword with vengeance -one, which even
the sagacty of Patrick Henry never anticipat-
ed, IN this shape at least. Let the people look
TO II ; or they are lost forever They will
fall into that gulf which under the artificial
military and paper systems of Europe, divides
Dives from Lazarus, and grows daily and hour
ly broader, deeper and more appalling. To
tins state of things, we are rapidly approach
ing under an administration, the head o' whici,
sits an incHbus upon the state, while the LIEU
tenants OF this new mayor the palace are al
| ready coniendng for tic succession, and their
rctaners and adherenis are with difficulty
kept from coming TO blows, even on the nuol
| ot Congress. We are arrived AT that pitch a
uegeneracy. when the mere last of power, III.
retention Of place and patronage, can prevail
cot only over every consideration Of puTlc
duty, but st6e the suggestions of persona. no
n"ur which even the ministers OF the ,!ecayc
governments Of Europe have not yet learnt en-
llrely to disregard. Should God snare me.
you shall he Informed how il has come *, pass
that, after settling the Florida question ut the
expense OF vast sacrifice of territory soufh
OF Sc and IA half of North latitude . we are
yet embr"il''d with Spain---and, in passing, ii
may he as we'll tn recoliect that tllc com
mand OF thu Red River and the Arkansaw
me gates Of New Orieans) will have 10 br
contested no; with The imbecilc aud punv go
vernment ofSpain, hat with young and rising
ana therefore ambitious Republic.

never meet again he that will done OH Eartl
