 Dear Governor, the 'sbest of friends nave to part 9--so must we. 1t is with you to say whether our separation shall be per pctuai. LAFAYETTE.
 To tue Hon. AMBROSE ii. SEWER:
 SiR-l am constrained 10 address you, through the press, a few lines, re lating to my share in slang whang and rahtipole, uttered (the papers say) by. you, In Congress, and, by you termed speech. Ii is not of my own choice, that present m5self before the public, eith- CT 10 exPostulate with you or to defend myself. You, sir, compel me-you have left me no other alternative. must either ask you, publicly, what is the meaning of your language, or per. init the unknown and namelcss suspiei. ons which your vile insinuation is fitted 10 conjnre up, 10 float loose and unre strained, through the land. You have given me no opportunity of meeting charge with denIal; you do not even permit me the miserable privilege Of guilty, as you was so ssasart'' in doing to the charge Of the black-Iee vice of gambling.-Your insinuation leaves me liable to the suspicion of any and every crime, which fancy nay paint or malice devise: yet sir, safely hid be hind your dark, inuendo style, if hereaf ter you find it necessary to speak out, you may even deny that you meant 10 make any serious charge. l ask you if this is nsoaly mode of assailing any man? Here is your language. Speak ing of me, by name, you say-s.He is now lawyer whose dexterity and adroitness in his profession has been rather too great for the good of his re. putation." Then. to nnt sting: :::. tie t. tail of your insinuation, you add When he reads this speech he vii un- derstand my allusion.''
 Ii l have done a wrong, why not charge me with it, as you did others, whom you yillifed On the same occasion. Why am made an enigma? A direct charge, whether false or true, would be less likely 10 injure me--it would be more magnanimous in you. Certainly Fl would better beft the ssiaithful, brave, gallant Delegate, s'worth his weight in gold." as Uncle Toby says.
 Sir, if your had charged mo with crime, l would as soon have been silent, as when you thus insinuate every thing, anything or nothing, against me, and leave it to be, perhaps, suspected, that there has been some secret professional act of mine, which, if told, would blast my fame and dishonor my name. Speak out, sir, and let the world know what you mean. Speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and you need have no fears. have none.
 In addressing you at this time, ] dc not seek from you bfaggadocio, bully ing, blackguardism, biiiingsgate, battle
 or blood. l care not in how many oI
 these you may boast yoursuperiority.-
 have no svcrbal messages''-no "bul lying threats" for you-no "bludgeons'
 for your sshead"-no "pistols or dag
 gers" for your "heart." None of thoss
 scare-crow terrors, which, inyour sickl, fancy, you imagine you stride througl
 and over, in the sablinaity of your ''on
 ward, unaltered public course,a awai
 you from me-unless, indeed, you cour
 them ucry strongly. l sny this, sir, o,sl'
 to prevent the possibility that any min ion of yours shall make this letter th' basis on which to raise ssthe hue ant
