SIR: Your notc of yesterday was handed me
by Gen Me,oalf, and before proceed in reply
TO the inquiries, | shall make few preliminary
remarks. The impression made upon my mind,
by the conversation which took place between
us on Saturday was, that you had voluntarily
taken the Western Herald 10 the Editor Of the
Phcnix Gazette. with request that he would
extract into his columns an article containing
some severe reflections on my public conduct,
purporting 10 be written bv my brother; and
though understood you 10 say, that you were
not actuated by personal considerations, could
not but consider it unkind, as coming from
colleague for whom had ever entertained the
kindest feelings--one whom / regarded as my
friend and whatever is contained in nv note,
has reference to this subject, as then under
stood il, and no other.
With these impressions Of that conversation
YOU left me; for you will recolect, that you
were the first 10 quit the seat on which we sat
during the interview.
With these impressions penned the note to
the Editor Of the Phenix Gazette, referred TO IN
your letter. The Editorial article in the Ga
zette Of the 18th inst to which you refer in your
letter as containing a candid declaration OF the
Editor, together with the information which
has been communicated to me on this day, by
our colleague MIR. Henry" that in conversation
with you on Sunday last, previous to the publ
cation of my letter, you had stated that you did
not request the Editor Of the Phenix Gazette to
republish the article from the Western Herald,
and other facts coming to my knowledge since
he publication ofmy letter, from other sources,
have satisfied me that the impressions formed
from the conversation must have been err one
Gus, need not assure that am greatly re-
lesed by the correction OF that impression:
therefore regard il an act Of justice 10 explain
and obviate those expressions in my letter to
the Editors of the Gazette, to which your en-
quiries have directed my attention more par
ticularly
! did not intend to assert or insinuate that
the Editorial article pre6xed TO the extract from
the Western Herald was published at your in

MAS JEFFERSON from his pecuniary en-

Whereas THOMAS JEFFERSON, needs
the aid Of country, the independence Of which,
half century ago, he largely contributed to
establish, upon original principles Of freedom
and virtue, that have rendered these United
States great and prosperous nation, many OF
whose responsible Offices he has filled with the
utmost ability, purity and public appreciation;
but during the seventeen years since his retire
ment from active service, his means Of SUBJ
sistence have been reduced by pecuniary losses
and the charges of indispensable hospitality,
SO that he is deprived in the decline of life of
those comforts to which he has been habituat-
ed and is entiled-Thercfore,
Resolved That adequate provision ought 10
be made for Thomas JEFFERSON
hesol,ed That it be recommended to the peo-
pie of this Commonwealth, 10 hold early meet
ngs in their several counties, and that public
subscription be there opened to form fund for
the aid of the .Author Of the Declaration of hide
pendsnce; and, to enable every citizen to partci-
pate in this proceeding Of gratitude, upon re-
publican principles of equality, that the sub
scrip,ion be limited to one dollar each.
Resolved, That Committee of Superinten-
dence and correspondence, consisting of twenty
eight citizens Of the City and County of Phila-
deIphia be now appointed whose duty it shall
be to adopt all such measures as may be advis-
able for the furtherance and accomplishment OF
the objects of the oregoing resolutions; and
that the said committee be authorised to sup
ply whatever vacancies may occur in their
body.

there can be no doubt of their pre-
cminence abnyo man in their moral
feelings and affections, and the vis-
or, courage and toriit1dc arising out
of these, which is tho true test, and
genuine essence of merit. The
thousand insta noes Of their heroick
conduct during lie French Revolu-
tion, have settled this fact fore, or.
No personal danger could for one in-
stant deter them from seeking, in tho

Months after months have they been
