to find it for the purpose Of interesting
it in note, unless it should be more
desirable to you to omit the speech en-

years, ago, l searched the files Of the

not find it even with the assistance OF

htCHWOHu, NUC. ZSIH. 1879.
DEAR SIR: Your letter Of the goth
was presented to me yesterday evening
by your son. Not mingIing in the par
t. politics, or even questions Of the
day, and entirely free from political or
personal animosities, it is with real
concern, perceive myself brough, in
to view as having furnished materials
for an attack on any gentleman what
ever, especially on one with whom i
nave long been in habits of friendly in
tercourse.
To your enquiry I answer without
hesitation, that | never received any
authority from you 10 publish the
speech you are stated to have made in
the debate which took place in the
House Of Representatives, on the an
swer TO the address of General Wash
ington to Congress, in Dec. 1896, nor
Gid ever have any conversation with
you respecting it. The speech was ex-
tracltd from one CT the papers of the
day, which protested TO give the de-
baIcs Of Congress, and was supposed to
br dis correct as debates ever are, which
arr no' prepared by the speaker for the
press, not only because no dissatisfac-
ton was expressed with il, but becau ST
also, you about that time frequently &
unre sersediy declared in public the
sentiments which were ascribed to
YOU.
Not having preserved my regular
files OF papers ! cannot at this time
say from which Of them the speech was
copied. was at that time in posses
sion Of the Gazette Of the United States,
of Dunlap and Claypole's paper, of one
edited by Mr.. Brown, and had also fire.
quent recourse 10 the aurora From
one of them your speech was copied.
but Cannot say positively from which.
l incline to think il was from Dunlap
and Claypole. shall, however, make
the necessary inquiries, which, pre-.
sumo, may be done in Philadelphia.
The opinions which you there ex,
pressed were not peculiar 10 yourself
They certainly prevailed very exten.
sively among the politicians of Virgin
ia. In struggle for power men speak
and think Of a conspicuous individual
to whom they are opposed, very differ.

If this be inconsistency, il would be diff
ficult TO point out a consistent man.

GEORGIA SUGAR.


Savannah, Noe. Cove learn with
much pleasure that Thomas Spalding,
Esq has been thus far successful in the
cultivation of Sugar Cane on his plan
tation on Hutchinson Island, opposite
this city He has sixty acres Of Cane,
denomlnated the Ribbon Cane, which
has in Louisiana been considered vast
" superior to the White Cane Mr..
Spalding suffered severely in the early
part of the season by the gale, which
washed from the ground very consi-
derable part of the cane, and compelled
him to replant. His Sugar works are
now in operation, and he is engaged in
grinding, boiling, and. granulating.-
From the experiment which has thus
far been made. his cane will average
him seven hundred and fifty pounds
per acre, and it is believed that the Sy-
rup will pay the expense Of the planta-
ton. We understand that this enter
prising individual will, the ensuing
year increase the quantity of ground
he this year plants. We most sincere
iy wish him success, and trust that the
dav is not distant when Sugar will be
added to the staple al ticles OF our
State. Republican.

FRIGHTFUL SEASON.

The editor of the Rutland (VO Her.
aid, says he has been presented with a
potato this season, measuring nineteen
md an hny inches in circumference 1t
should be shipped TO Ireland. The Ma
,tional Standard states, that Mr. Roy
al Sta,son, of Randolph, (VD has this
year raised pumpkin vine sic hundred
and serenity, fine feet IN length, which pro-
duced hirty-tgo pumpkins, t,centy Of
which were Of the ordinary size. Mr..
Statson must have procured the seed
from Ohio, where, we are informed, a
gentleman resides who planted pun
kin seed over night, and in the morn.
ing finding the vine had commenced
running, he mounted his horse and
rode in vain for several hours to over
take it, but his horse becoming tired,
he was forced to give up the chase.
BY the bye, our friend ofthe Cleveland
Herald denies that the cucumber from
four TO five feet long, grew in the same
garden where the crowbar shot forth
innumerable branches Of brads and
spikes. We were therefore probably
mistaken. TWAS in the garden Of an
other gentleman near by, whose rad
ishes ran SO deep in the earth that they

ileve Ooln, repileu IN substance tnat
I did not apprehend either; but if these
horrible anticipations were well found
ed, the sooner they were made known
the better; because the government OF
the U. S. was founded upon the prin-
ciple that man was competent to his
own government, and that it did not
depend upon the services of any indi-
vidual, however meritorious and exalt-
ed; and that if the people had in fact
been mistaken in the great principle
upon which they had founded their go.
veInmeRt, they ought TO be offered an
opportunity upon discovering the fatal
error, to fix upon some other better
principle for their future government,
and for the better protect ton of their
rights, liberties, and happiness. Butt
had no apprehensions that so fatal a
misfortune had bcfallen the people Of
the U S and in Illustration, observed,
that had no doubt if the President,
and every officer of the government,
were to retire to private life, thous-
and other persons might be found in
the U. S. to fill their places with equal
advantage 10 the public. am per-
fectly satisfied that the President was
not singled out as the only officer to
which the observation vas applicable.
| would not at this time pledge myself
as to any particular form Of expression
used upon the occasion. although the
subject has at all times been familiar
to my mind, but will positively
pledge myself for The correctness of
the principles here stated, and that
they were urged with the most per-
feet respect and decorpm of Ian
guage towards the President, inter-
spersed with the sentimental applaus-
es which appeared to me to be call
ed for by the occasion: as proof po-
sitive upon this essential point, it will
appear from the debate in reply, as
stated in "the Life Of Washington"
that not the slightest charge of indeco-
rous or disresptctful language was i'm
puted 10 me by single debater, al
though the peculiar character of the
debate, and the highly excited emo
tons produced by it, would necessarily
have called forth the most pointed re-
examinations, if they could have been
justified by the course of observation
made by myself. Whilst, therefore, l
disclaim all rude expressions imputed
TO me by note-takers, and Of course all
responsibility for them, l acknowledge
myself fully responsible for the princi-
piles urged in that debate; and whilst
l have never presumptuously set up
any pretensions whatever TO infallibili-
ty, and know | have committed many
errors, and have at all times been per-
fectly disposd to acknowledge them
when discovered, yet after nearly nine

On motion of Mr. Morris, Of Wood
the committee Of Propositions and
Grievances, were discharged from the
further consideration ofthe petitions re-
ferred TO them on the subject of a Con-
vention; and that all the petitions on
that subject be referred TO Select
Committee, to be composed OF one
member from each senatorial district.
And the Chair announced that the COM
mittee would be arranged and appoint
ed on tomorrow.
Friday, Dec. 8.
United States Senatp.-The House
having determined to go into the cleo
ton, Henry ST. George Tucker, was
nominated by MIR. Cook supported by
Messrs. Ship, Letter and Jackson.
John Randolph, Of Roanoke, was no.
minated by MIR. Gaines, supported by
Messrs. Watkins, of Prince Edward,
Wilson and Loyal.
William B. Giles was nominated by
Mr. Crump ofP supported by Messrs.
Goode of NJ. and Gordon.
John Floyd, was nominated by
Messrs. Amiss and Craig.
The first ballot stood-Tucker 65-
Randolph 63-Giies 5s-F;oyd 10
According to the rule of the House,
Mr. Floyd was dropt; and the second
ballot stood-Tucker 87-Randolph
79-Giles Go.
Mr.. Jackson on the part Of the
friends of Mr.. Tucker, rose and stated
to the House, that it was the desire of
Mr.. T. that, in no event, he should be
placed in competition with Mr.. Ran
doipl,; considering that Mr.. n. had no
change Of being elected, they had, on
their own responsibility, put Mr. I. in
nomination. But as the collision was
now between these two gentlemen, they
thought il due alike to Mr.. fuckers
request and his feelings, that he should
be Withdrawn; and he accordingly an
nounced that he was Withdrawn. Some
conversation then ensued in which it
was suggested, that the ballot boxes
ough! to be emptied, and the ballots
again collected. One gentleman re-
marked that the person who had been
last drop,, ought under these circum-
stances to be again before the House.
But the Chair decided, that as the bal
lots had all been deposited in the boxes,
and there being no mistake or irregu-
larity, they must be counted under the
rule of the House. This was accord
ingly done and the ballots stood-Ran-
dolph lo4-Tucker 80. Mr.. R. hav-
ing majority, was declared duly cleo
ted.
After the election for senator was
closed, the Speaker announced the fol-
lowing gentlemen as composing the
committee to take into consideration
the petitions for and against conven-
ton, under resolution agreed to on
the day before, viz: Messrs. Letter,
