Tho. mas I have seen, and he expresses much regret at being obliged to goto Virginia, to-morrow or next day, with his wife, who he says is yerjLsick. He read to me a letter from Col- Lynn, from which I am very much inclined to think Lynn will not be with you as he has pressing engagements at home Robert M'Phtrson I am told is sick and Sprigg has engaged no other. This plan is here public, and I believe George Bae'r and others have named the very day for us execution. WKen the scheme was first mentioned to me, I stated my objections to. i, I believe to you, as well as to others. The very same reasons which urged against ft to Crabb and Kilgouf, on last Sunoay, my brother has urad to me here, enforced with others1, Which upon the whole, 1 have thought irresistible. I presume none haye entered into this plan, suppos ing for a moment there could beany danger after the battle wasoter ; but upon conversing with jny brother, he seems clearly of opinion, that to fire upon the assailants, before other means of putting them out of '.he house have been used,wouULbe unlawful and subiecrus to the punishment of man Lt$Mr, Tiu v greeting ttriwa,-wa- tfbfSvSA be violating Them, lo watf tmUvthe, moo have entered, would, not do ; because then, numbers would overpower us ; nor do I consider this a part of our plan as developed to me T besides wilbya democratic judge to direct a democratic jury is to the law he considers ctir conviction of murder as far more thn probable. t , . I consider myself to have been ertgaged to incur risk in, the battle only, and nothihgieyond this. I consider you to be acting with" the same purpose, and theiefore hepe you. willtake the advice of Harper, and those, men inwhom you most con fide. This I ask for your own sake, and of those friends who have 'nottaken i the same view f the subject as I have. My opinion is fdrmed uport authorities that L have looked into with my brb ther, and if such were not my opinion, I would not act contrary to bis. Under these circumstan ces I have concluded not to &o to Baltimore, as I could not act in sucna pian. i nope you youiseu wflftake.a fuller view of the subject. IHtts mobT should rise to. pull down r the "press in George Town, the mayor and magistrates may and will be induced to do their dutyi We shall then act under ihe authority of the law, and the feelings of the psople ivul go along withrtrs ;(Out this will seem too much like a plan to provoke an attack, that we. may take into our, own hands the sword of jus tice, and you know this the law will not allow. With respect, Sec. Sec. &c. .. Your obedient servant,. ; V , A. TANEY. Frederick Town, July $4,th, 1812. i .
