Your public life. sir, affords conclusive -,
satisfactory proof of patriotic devotion n ~, ~.
best interests of your country. 1t is indeed Wv
tnguishvd BY services, which unques,ion,h1 w."
give YOU strong and undenisbIe claims unor W
gratitude Of the American people. A, the Co"..
of foreign power, you have ably and sa.
cessfulIy maintained the rights Of your puy.,r
meni, aud with equal ability, you have .ub,a
quentIy, in the Senate Of the United state, ~;
umphantly indicated the true principles Of ~,
government. A friend to the rights Of the S,s.
and opposed at all times to any encroachmen,
whatever on those rights, you have yet fear,e,,r
expressed the wild and absurd pre,eosion, !,
South Carolina, and defended the Just author,
Of the Federal Government. That the Tr,ot
at period Of imminent danger, has found in III,
person Of Virgin senator one of its mos, on,
lishtened and spirited champions, cannot but
source of infinite qualification to the dscrss
and sober minded people of this Commonwesh
Under these circumstances, we feel the moa
in

able and highly responsible station you now s
with SO much credit to yourself, and advantage
to the State.
In reply. Mr.. Rives says:
Your favorable estimate of the portion Of Dub
lie service it may have fallen to my lot to psr
form, at home or abroad, fills me with ls,u
sense Of your iberality and kindness II AMID
the violence Of party spirit to which you refer,
have encountered no small share Of vehemsr,
denunciation, | find a rich recompense in ,ud
testimonies Of enlightened and patriotic apprv
baton, as that you now convey.
You say, most truly, that have been the con-
slant friend of the Rights of.Ms States; and
with an unvarying devotion to that cause, il hH
never, in my humble judgment, been in my pOs.
eF to render il a better service than by my efforts
however feeble, TO rescue 1t from those pervst'
sions and extravagant pretensions, which, 10
making il incompatible with the existence Of OW
happy federal Union, and indeed Of any organ.
lied society whatever, must inevitably nave made
il an object of distrust and aversion to the patI
otto and sober minded people Of this country.
