 ritory. Whatever may be my private l character, in the relations of husband,
 father, neighbor, friend or citizen, or
 my social qualities, in my intercourse
 with my fellow men, am always ready and willing 10 submit them to those
 amorg whom I have resided and those l who know me best; hut you, sir, when
 tried by the same tribunal, can onlybe
 considered as a foreign, oflieious inter ! meddler in matters that do not conceFa
 you, or the State in which yon reside,

 mlspent by me, which it has consumed.
 lmPertinenee, Ike yours, can only be
 cured by age and experience, and 10
