attack upon Geiieral Washington; il is true he de-
mics that he ever uttered such sentiments as those
ascIbed TO him in Marshall's life of Washinst on;
is his denial sulIicien, to balance statement made
by Judge Marshall which remained from the time
he published the work until the last winter, without
ever being contrsdicted by Mr.. Giles or any OF his
friends! MIR. u. calls on the Judge TO know from
what paper he got the extract, TO know il he had
any authority from him, (Gles) to publish the same
The Judge replies hat he does not know from wha,
paper, but names two or three, from one of which
he presumos he took the extract, and that he sa-
tished the speech was correctly reported as
speeches are generally reported, and that he was
not authorised by MIR. G. TO insert the speech in
the Life OF Washington, for the very plain reason
presume, that ii such speech delivered by
Mr. q. X published he had no right whatever to OBJ
Ject TO It's being inserted in any book or paper.
The Judge also says, in his letter to Mr.. G. that he
is induced to believe that the extract is correct be-
cause 1t contained the sentiments which were eS-
pressed by Mr.. G. on all occasions about that
time. believe l have stated in substance, the
content of Judge Marshal's letter to Mr. Giles
which MIR. G. had published last winter and found
that the letter cut the wrong way (which is one rca.
son, presume, that he does not publish a letter
he is said to have received from gentleman upon
the subjec. OF Mr.. John q. Adams's conversion to
the republican faith; which letter correspondent
of,he Constitutional Wing called on Mr.. Giles to
publish several weeks ago. His conduct towards
our late President, Mr. Monroe, is such that no vr
tuous man, no matter to what party he may belong,
can view it but with disgust You there ind him
In unauthorized manner, disclosing the pro-
ceedings OF the Senate in such manner make
it appear that Mr. NJ. a swinder and every thing
else that was criminals but ihe had only given full
disclosure of the proceedings, instead of the partial
one there would have been grounds for his wan
ton and unleeng attack upon that aged patriot and
| revolutionary hero, whose attachment to his coun-
try, and devotion to the of liberty, is sealed
in that way, 10 which Mr.. Giles has strong
aversion OF sealing any thing; viz. with his blood.
Take view OF the manner he makes the attack
upon Mr.. Monroe, and see if you find one sin
gle thing 10 approve: he out with long
piece In the Enquirer, no signature 10 it, and
tina, too az time when he, doubt, cslcula ed
Congress would adjourn before the author would
5 be known, and calculating, at the time, tina,
the Senate would not remove the njunctions OF
secrecy Tor any newspaper essay, without sig
nature 10 it, and if they should not, his object
would be accomplished, as lie would have coniinu-
ed his abusive publications, 10 which 1t beyond
the power OF Mr.. Monroe to reply satisfactorily
until Congress should meet again; luckily for MIR
Monroe, II there is no magnanimty in the com
position of VIM. b. Giles there is such u, i:..--
