posed 10 the election Of General Andrew Jackson:-
in which, yon apprise ne ofny appointment, as one Of
the delegates, TO represent that meeting, at the conyen-
ton 10 be holden in Richmond, on the 9Th of January
ncxt,-and enquire whether I will accept the appoini,

l heartily concur with the meeting, i'm the obfec.
they lave in view, and approve the convention To
form an electoral ticket, is appropriate means 10 al
tain THAI ohject.-Nothing has given me more serious
concern. or filed my mind with more gloomy forbo-
dinss. than the prospect of General Jackson's election
TO the ii!st ciice in The government;-and to be instru-
mental, in preventing ii, would afford me much graft
fcstion.
Candor, however, requires Ine TO say, that I could
not be 4 faithful representative Of the sentiments ex-
pressed, in the preamble and resolutions adopted by
tue late meeting at Richmond. While I feel much
more distrust OF General Jackson, than they have ex-
pressed, much more apprehension of danger from his
election, immediate and rcmote,-l, at the same time.
do not feel that confidence in the present administers
ton, which they northumberland DO not concur with
them, in the treasure ofCondemnation which thew
have meted TO the opposition. While | unlesilatineIv

ness Of MIR. Adams, or. on my confidence in his cabi.

son is altogether unfit. and enineutly dangerous.
Entertaining these opinions, and thinking tat ie
will be agreeable 10 the committee, to have delegates i'm
