Dear Sir: have designedIy delayed answer

my principal object in rising was 10 de!ead you
against the most liiberal pnd unmer,ed re
proaches. wish may have performed This
agreed able task to your satisfaction; i! ! have
failed Of SUCCESS, il was net for The want of good
intention. The accompanying speech will give
you full information upon that subject. In my
former speech, forwarded to you some days
since, you may probably find some unexpected
observations upon the subject Of French and
British influence. No disclosures whatever
win be made, under any circumstances, beyonJ
those contained in my remarks. | may even
therein have been impelled too far-but the
time having arrived, when IL became neces

was too inviting Of making The inl:mauons j

have fully appreciated your motives for
retire ment; but It would have given me great
pleasure, in these trying times, 10 have had
YOUR cooperation IL would have afforded you,
too, an opportunity Of peIling your unjust and
lliberal adyersaries, by holding up their vicious
passions to public view and public Indignation,
Such IS the uncertainty OF he course proposed
TO be pursued, that you will not be able to salts,
fy yourself in that respect, by the strictes, at
tention to my observations. My own impress
sions, at present are, that the embargo laws
should BE- amended, and enforced ill some
time in the Spring. to take the chances OF e.
vents in Europe; in the near time to put the
nation in state Of defence, and, as substitute
Tor the embargo, TO call the whole energy oil
me nation into action. This course will be ex-
ire mely popular 10 the south. If you should
have leisure moment, may hope that you
will employ it in giving me your views OF this
project
b. pleased, sir, to accept assurance Of my
high consideration and regard, SC.

Dear Sir:--Your very friendly favor OF the
9TH instant was presented to me the day before
Yesterday by Mr.. Wells, accompanied by Mr.
Sumner. Of Boston, / manifested every atten-
lion 10 these gentlemen, which my respect to
the letter presented by them inspired very
free political conversations took place between

to be pursued in the present awful and delicate
crisis Of our affairs. canno, help looking for
ward TO the meeting Of your Legislature, DUR

| anticipate theemost serious results from their
proceedings, unless the majority should have
changed its views of our foreign relations since
the last session, which l am told is not the
case: or, if any change exists, it is not for the
better. Will You be good enough to give me
YOUR views OF this subject? You will probably
have seen before this Time the invidious al
tack made on you by Mr.. Pickering, and my
reply Since that time he has, under the garo
OF humility and condescension, reiterated most
Of my observations 10 the Senate, and renewed
his attack on you in another form, PROCESSING

OF account Of the pleasure I had some time
since anticipated by cooperating with YOU IN
pursuing such measures as might be deemed
best Calculated to promote the general welfare;
but on account Of the actual loss our country
has sustained in being deprived of your impor.
tant services; at the moment, too, when il,
stands most in need Of them.
alao regret 10 find that the purity and dis,
interestsdness of the motives which dictated
your late public conduct, and which, with great
pleasure can attest, Should not have shielded
you from the most unmerIled reproaches.
But, in times like these, when the passions
are stimulated into action by SO many concur
ring causes, truth and justice seem to be totally
disregarded, and private character to be the
sport OF party sensibility. Indeed, the holy
temple itself does not seem too SACRED for pro-
fanation by the mad ambition Of Infatuated de-
magogues. confidently hope, however, that
our country will not long sustain the loss Of
your able and uuremitted exertioas in its favor;
bu, that, as soon as the public delusion shall
have vanished, you will again appea, upon the
theatre Of public life, supported by an increas-
ed confidence Of the Nation, and thus enabled
to render il still greater services than you have
heretofore done. A confidence necessarily re-
sul,ing from :he firm, judicious, and inde2en-
dent conduct you have lately manifested, not
only TO the American people, but TO the world.
BE- pleased, sir, to accept assurances Of my
high consideration and sincere personal regard,
&c. VIM. B. GILES.

AT meeting of the friends of the Administers

public notice, at the house Of Daniel II. 'rhomp
sun, on Saturday the esd of August, inst
Mr.. JOHN CLARK was called to the Chair, and
HENRY CAzIER appointed Secretary, when on
motion Committee of five, to wit, Jacob Faris
Jacob Caulk, Levi Cooch Joseph Root and Andrew
Brady, were appointed by the Chairman, to prepare
matters for the consideration Of the meeting; when
the Committee after retiring short time, reported
the following resolutions. which after being separ-
ately read and considered, were unanimously adopt
ed, to wit
RESOLVED, That we have the most entire conf
dence in the integrity, wisdom, and ability of John
Quincy adams, the President of these United States
and will use all legal and fair means in our power
to secure his re- election.
Resolved, That we conscienciously believe the
stale charge of :. Bargain and Sae'' prnpagated by
certain individuals, against our worthy President,
and his no less worthy Secretary of State, Henry
Clay. is not only false but that the original propa-
gators of it, know it to be so, and yet keep up the
slang for selfish and electioneering purposes.
Resolred, That we have no confidence in the in
fegrlty, wisdom. prudence, or ability of General
Andrew Jackson. and would deprecate his election
10 the first Office in this great republic as at best but
dangerous experiment, an experiment which has
proved fatal to almost every Republic which has
tried it-Rome had her Cesar, England had her
ca may have her jackson.
Resolved, That it is with regret we witness II
many Of the Citizens of this Hundred disposition
to be carried away with military fame, as though thu
gaining Of one victory, of one hundred, qualitet
man for civil office, especially man the Who'll
tenor of whose life proves that unless courage is
virtue, he possesses no public one.
ReSoced, That we consider the encouragement
OF Domestic Industry by protecting duties, and {
Roads and Canals by liberal appropriations, en-
phatlca'!y called the SO American System'' as tn
true policy OF these States North and South, tn
abandonment of which at this time would more r,
sembIe the act Of maniac, than that Of statesma,
Resotced, That we look with astonishment an
regret at me present excitement inthe South on ii
of Congress foremost in the attempt to delude II
