- There i, perhaps, no evil in the
world that will bear a companion with
ilandtr. The fairest character know
on earth will receive a wound, or
wither fend decyf by the furnet of the
loul slanderer's breath. And it is not
only a Rood reputation that the alan
di-rcr plunderi from hit fellow crea-
tare, but ne oltrn cam mm uawa
world, to the loweit depths of misery
and of woe.
Many persons, by the assistance of
friend, embark In merchandize and
other speculations, with a view to
make a decent support and according
to the necessary requirements of such
transaction's, their credits must occi
sionaliy be extended in order to make
their business more lucrative j nnd by
d ting so, some invidious competitor
will insidiously sound the alarm to
toe sureties, Ccc. and cause them to
use the strong arm tf the liw to op
press the. debtor, and wrcst from him
not only the amount of the dthtpbut
sacrifice triple the amount,- which
miy include ail his hard earnings for
many years. The miserable being
thus harassed and thrown out of bu
siness, whose property and reputation
have been taken from him, is ct up
on the cold charities of the world,
without any cheerine prospcexs brf rr
him, and is thankful for any kind nl'
employment, no matter how mcni.il,
to make a miserable pittance to sup.
port his miserable existence. And
there is not one rase in ten, that h-
can regiin his god name, and be re
instated in a decrnt business.
Some, nnd indeed not a few, wh
arc reduced to this forlorn condition
1 and who see no prospects before them
but misery, resort to the use of ardent
spirits to drown their sorrow, an
terminate their miserable existence
And tlcre are on record, instances of
persons, b"th male and female, wh
have committed suicide, as a dernier
resort to get relief from want and th
sends and sneers of the world.
Misfortunes, of various kinds, as
well as extravagances, et crt. do often
reduce men to a state of indigence and
want yet bnck-biung, or slander, op
crating even after the loss of property
&c. keeps the poor wretch fettered
down to the earth, who cannot, by
every exertion of mind and body, el-
evate himself above the values of mis
cry and of want. And should he be
possesssd of talents of the first order,
both natural and acquired, and a char
acter entirely free from the corrupt
practices of the world, yet his merits
are called demerits, and his best in
tentitms are -iewed-withvan. eye of
suspicion, Stme poor deluded wretch
es, whose characters have been assas
sinsted by the dark movements of the
landerrf cannot account for ihecaus.

Having leimt from (.enera! David
Mtrriweather, that Mr. Crawford it about
to retire fron the Department of War,
I am induced, as a friend to vou aid the
government, to bring io your notirr. as a
fit character to fill that ofTire, Col ,Will
im II. Drayton, late of the army f the
United States.
I am not personally rnulnte( with
Col. D. but bcliaving it of the utmnt im
portanre thai trie oiTk of Secretary of
War ahnuld bw well filled,. I hate, for
some time, through every snurre (hat has
prrtcnieo, oeen making inqoiry orj me
subject. From information UiJ I ran
rely on. the result is. tha? he is sir an of
nice principle of honor and hOMtty, of
military experience and pride-posses
ting handsome talents as a lawer and
statesman.
1 am told, before the war, he wt ranked
with tha Federalists, but the tinnent hit
country was threatened, he alundoned
private rase and a lucrative fri-tice, fur
the trntcd field. Such ar j' these
speak louder than words "the tree is
lest kno n bv its fruit :" and nirh a man
as this, it matters not what le is called,
will always act like, a true American.
Whether he would accept (he appoint
ment I cannot say ; but if hi would, hit
talents, experience, and energy, would
prove highly useful to his country: It is
all-important in peace and in arar, ss you
well know, to have this onice well filled ;
at present, when there exists such strife
in the army as appears m th? rsorth, it
is important to select a character of uch
firmness and energy as cannot te swayed
from strict role and justice. From every
information I have received, Col. Dray
ton fills thii character ; and is better qual
ified to execute the duties of the Depart
ment of War than any other character I

Should the district be c'lvMcTl it content

din. tha army will tusuit a great lost
by the withdrawal of his services from it (
but by retiring at present, and avoiding
tne insalubrious climates, where his duty
ss n fifTicer calls him, his health may be
restorer:, and bis life preserved for the
bnr5t of hit country at aome future pe
riod. There are few young men in the
army, or elsewhere, pottessing hit mer
it h t education it of the best kind, and
his mind is richly stored with tbe most
ueful sort of kno ledge i he should,
therefore, be fostered at capable, at tome
future r"ay, of becoming one of bit coun
try's mott useful and valuable cititens.
Lieut. Gadsden's situition requires tome
oflice, the profitt of which will yield him
a comeirnry while preparing himself

ill afTirJ it. These are the reasons that
induce me so warmly lo recommend him.

I hope I may be permitted, oiue more to
ob'rui!c my npiniwis. In filling the va
cancy occasioned by the transfer of Mr.
Crawford from the War Office to the
Treasury, it is of the h'ghtit mmrrtt that
some firmer and t person should be ae
ectrd.
Your Ipppincss and the nation's welfare
materially tl'-pcnd upon the selections
winch are to le made to fill the heads of
Departments. I need not tell you that
eudt exist, nnd have existed, to an inju
rious decree, in the Northern army. To
fill the Department of 'T with a char
acter who has taken a part in those feudt,
or whose feelings have been enlisted on
he side of party, will be adding fuel to the
ame, which, for the good of the lervice,
Iready burns too fiercely. This, and
other considerations, induced me to enter
on the inquiry for a character best calm
lated to ful the Department ; it has resul
ted in the selection of Col. William
Drayton. Since my 'isl to. -von. in which
this subject was then named, Gen. Kip-
ley has arrived heret who heartily con
curs with me In tbe opinion, that Col.
Dravton is the best selection that can be
made.

Dkar Sia : I returned from the nation
on the 13th inst. and seize the first mo
ment from duty to write you.
I have the pleasure to inform you that
we have obtained by cession from the
Cheiokeesitnd Chickasaws all theii claim
south of the Tennessee, that interfered
with the Creek session.
We experienced much difficulty with
the Chickasaws, from what they call their
guarantee, or charter given bv Presi
dent Washington, in the year 1 794. and
recognized by the treaty with that nation
in 1801, w hich not only guarantied the
enitory, but bound the United States to
prevent intrniioTi,- wrthm the limxtrdcfi-
ned, of every kind whatever. In the
treaty with the Cherokees lately entered
into at the Citv of Washington, the grea-
ter part of the land guarantied by the
treaty of 1801 to the Chickasaws was in-
cludi'd. The fact is, that both President
Washington, and the present Sccetary
of War, must have been imposed on by
false representations, as neither the Cher
okees or Chickasaws had any right to the
territory south of Tennessee, and indu
ded within the Creek cessions, as the tes
timony recorded on our journal, and fori

Sir : Permit me to introduce to your
notice, Lieut. Gadsden, who will hand
you this letter and who is also the bearer
of the Treaties lately concluded with the
Creeks Chickasaws, and Cherokees.
In my last to you, I took the liberty of
drawingyour attention to the benefits that
would resulfboth to the Treasury of The
United States, and the defence of the
Lower Mississippi and its dependencies,
by bringing into market those tracts of
coii hTry lafelyrfpllred; bythe-Treattes
above named. I am so deeply impressed
with the importance of this subject, that
I cannot forega the present opportunity
of again bringing it to your view. I have
this moment wrote the Comptroller on
this highly interesting and important bu
siness. If the plan proposed is" adopted,
the Fand can be brought into market with
in a very short time, which will Im.medi-

American citizens, competent to" its de-

I term ; they are made with the sin
cerity and freedom of a friend. I cannot
doubt they will be received with feelings
similar to those whi-h have impelled me
to make tbem. Lvery thing depends on
thetcleciion oTyour ministry. In every
selection, partv and party feelings should
be avoided. Now it the time to exter
minate that nionmrr, called party spirit.
Bv selecting characters most conspicuous
for their probity, virtue, capacity, and
firmness, without any regard te party,
vou will go far. to, if not entirely, eiadi
cate those feelings which, on former ocr
casions, threw so many obstacles in the
way of government ; and, perhaps, have
the filtaiiurt and hmor ol uniting a peo
pie heretofore politically divided. The
Chief Magistrate of a great and powerful
nation should never indulge party feel
ings. His conduct should be liberal and
disin'erested, alwayt bearing in mind that
he acts for the whole, and not a fiart of
the 'community. By this course vdu will
exalt the national (haracter, and acquire
for yourtetf a name as imperishable as
monumental marble. Consult no party
in your choice; pursue the dictates of
that unerring judgment which has so
long, and so often benefited our country,
end rendered conspicuous - its ; rulers
These are the sentiments ol a It lend ;
they ore the feelings, if I know my own
heart, of an undisscmbled patriot.

the late public meetings of the people at

only account for this obtutenett of his op

" None are ro blind at those who will not
see." To minds not obscured by prejudi
ces, there It a very striking difference be
tween the Ks'eigh Cuurui, and any pub
lic meeting of the people. I will just note
a fw of the particulars In which they dif
fer. I. The II aleigh rater i was held by
members of the Assembly, who were
sent lo Haleigh to legislate, not te make
a President. TM meetings of the peopld
were held by all classes of eitiiens to whont
tha constitution ghes a right to assemble
together, and la whsm bclongt the prlvl-
egeolcnusing rrcsident. 2. The Cow
tu was held on invi'a'ion only, to tko
partisans of Wm. II. Crawford, and all
other persons were there excluded. Tha
meetings of the people were free to aJIf
and were more or lets attended by tha

people were held in daylight when all
might attend, and see what was going on.
4. I he canon mat to dictate a ticket to
the people, and to force Wrn II Craw
ford on them as President. The People
met to reside that dictation, and to foim a
ticket for thrms-lvra.
These are a lew of the points in which
the cjuau difTcis from the meetings of
:hc People. I cannot flatter myself that
'rights of caucus" will be aVe to see,
(hem ; but, I have no doubt the great bo-
u ot your readers will see, and renttmeer
too.
" Rights ol Caucus" says, ths! the list
I sent sou docs nut contain the names of
all the meinbeis who assisted in the hoc
lui'iiul orgies at Raleigh; and he name
several gentlemen who, he ays, were
there. No, sir, I inctr that at least half
of those he names, were not there ; and I
have just cause to believe that the others
were not. It is an easy matter for" righta
of caucus" to assert that such and uth
persons were there ; but let him have
thftr authority for making the assertion,
if he would be credited. In order to put
him to tbe test, I now assert, and I hero
offer to wager him any sum he chooses to
pecify, that neither James Graham,
James Lcgrand, John McCauley , nor Nat.
Gordon were in the Caucus. I could go
on and name others, but these are suffici
ent, at this time, io thow whether " righta
of caucus" will back his assertions.
I admit it is possible that a mistake of
a few names may be found on either side ;
for the Caucus themselvts kept no list.
In all caucuses held before, or since the
Haleigh caucus, one of the first things
done was to take down the names of the
persons attending and, no doubt, the Ra
leigh caucus would have done the same,
had not the smallness of the meeting de
terred them from it. They were ashamed
to let the public see their number, and
thought, by not putting their names down
in black and white, they could make be
lieve that it was much greater. Either
this was the reason for the omission,
or they were, perhaps, ashamed and afraid
to send out their names to the people.
He it either, it was such ss the people's
representatives should on all occasions es
chew. They should never engage in anr
transaction, where they are either ashamed
or afraid. for their names to be taken down
and made public. , , a s.i BscaiBEa.
