DEAR SIR: Permit me, iii the undis9uised spirit of
friendship, to express to you regrets at not meet
ing Won jill che Senate Chamber this rnorning re-
greet your absence, not only account OF the plea
sure he'd sonc time since anticipated bv coopnrnt-
ing with you in pursuing such measures az ht be
deemed best calculated to promote The general wei
iare; but ON account of the actual loss our country
las sustained IN being deprived OF your ilnpurtu,
services: ut the molen, too, Wien il stands most in
need Of them.
also regret to find that the purity and dsnterei-
ecss of the mot:"s which dictated your late pub
he conduct and which, with great pleasure, Gun ct
test, should not have shielded you from the most un
mcrited rcproachcs.
But, in timos like these, when tho passions are
stimulated into action by many concurrnr. causes
truth aid justice seem to be totally disregardcd ard
private character to be the sport of party sersibility
Indeed the holy temple itself does not seem too sa-
cred for proclamation by the mad ambition of infuriat-
cd demHgogues | confidently Eape, however, that
our country will not long sustain She loss Of your able
and unrtmltted eXertions in its favor but that soon
as the pubic deusion shall have vanished. YOU will n
gain appear upOR the theatre OF public life supported
By an increased confidence Of the Nat. l. and thus
enabled to render it still greater services than YOU
have heretofore done. A confidence necessarily re-
suting from the firm, udcious, and independent con-
duct you have lately manifested not only to the Amor
lean People, but to the world.
BE pleased sir, to accept assurances of my high
consideration, and sincere personal regarGs &c.
WI. Z. GILES.
