Pbfelclpbia, Afaj 25, 1805- DKAtt Sir, Your favofof the 22nd instant I have received, and shall with plea sure ctromunicate to you, as. briefly as possible, a atatement of the con versation whih look place between Messrs. Sdyder, M'Kiuney and my r jnstice of peace, and the project of a convention, to form a new- consti tution : A conversation sought aacl so unimportant, that I did not expect, it would lor any good, or any bad purpose, iiave been mentioned utter that dsy. Ihcse gentlemen called on me m the afternoun of the 2 1st day of March last, when Mr. M'JCinney, a third time, wished me to appoint Henry Laucha a justice of the peace tor tue district oi Mahcnoy ; and askeaT mt? if Mr. Branson, another candidate, had s;nt on an additional tecomaaendauoni I to'd him that be hatl a very txspectable one, signed by Ins neighbours to the number of near an hundred.

Mr. M'Kinny said, that 4 he would be orry ifBrunson should be appointed ; and that he feared many people might lose moncjby him." I smiled, and remarked, that " if the sum cognizable by a justice (if the peace was reduced to ten pounds, agreea bly to. the cotreritution, there would be little danger on thtt score ; but, at all events a justice of the peace, by law, had no right to receive the money belonging to the suitor." I added, thai 4 1 had already appoint ed two justices at the instance of Mr. Snyder aad himself, and that Mr. Hrunson, whom I bad never seen, but who, 1 was assured, had , a knowledge of the German, as well as English language, has been re presented to me as one cf the best scholars in the district." Here the conversaliiu . ended concerning: jus tices. During this Conversation, I held in my hand a newspaper published at Yorktnwn : and for chance of sub ject r adverted to an address con tained in it, from a merjer of Con gress to his constituents. It expres sed this extraordinary sentiment : " am now returned t9 7ny plaugh, but I Shall do my utmost at tiectiov, to prevent all men of talents, lawyers, and rich men, from being elected." Alluding, simply, to the writer of the address, I observed, ironically that, as he is no longer a member of congress, I suppose we shall have him, and other such Uodpoles (or if they please clodhoppers) bf ihe same pernicious sentiments, returned as delegates to the projected conven tion 1 Can such men be qualified to legislate, er to form systems of go vernment for so great a state us Pennsylvania f The memorial (I continued 1 for calling a conYcntion, was a palpable libel ; and the men, Row attempting to destroy our happy orm of government, vere weak, mischievous and wicked. How (I asked j besides, can any man Avho has a regard to truth, and is not grossly ighorant, sign his name to one, at. least of the assertions in the memo rial; " that the Governor of Penn sylvania had at greet patronage as the King of England. ?' I then enume rated, in derision of the assertion, many of the appointments, which emanate from the crown of England, ancl contrasted those, wuh the offi cers to which the Governor of Pcnn. sylvania appoints, as the mere a'geott el the people and I think, I dwelt particularly, rather by -way of ridl cute, upon the offices of the Kings immediate household (the lord cham berlain,' groom of the stole, lords of the,bed-cha.mber, &c.) whose emolu ments and numbers far exceeded those' or the civil ofScers of the state. ..-The present constitution, likewise, I d.esa-ibcd to be the pductioa of as putnotiCi learfted, and enlightened men, as perhaps ever asetnbled for a si .mjar purpose ; fend delivered my opmion, Jhat it approached as near to perfectTbii, as any 'tblt ever did, or now does exinjq the tvorld.T ex claimed, indeed, shall a et of dodrolcs and ignoramusscs, : qver- ger and the jmishief ; arid I fearjiot a the want of laid and assistance, front all wise and good men.' But this declaration iwas' clearly applied to tke newspaper address ; and to which I, alsd aHuded in adding, why are not the lawyers and rich men as well trusted, in the administration Of le gal afours as any others f Can any man vote foir a new law, "Who is ut terly ignorant of the old ? What kind of mteirpretatiOn can he give, vho is a stranger to the text, on which he comments ! The lawyers are in the perpetual study of morals, and their diity to society $ pay the christian religion is part of the law of the land, jvvhich they should read and understand ; and surely those, who thoroughly understand, and are governed by the laws ought to be es teemed among the wisest and best of men." Towards the conclusion of this conversation, Daritel Montgo mery came into the room, followed in a short tiujc, by John Steele, and James Patterson ; but to these gen tlemen, I did not say oar word, ex cept in relation to some citizens whom they yished me to appoint justices of the peace, but which I dcc-Uried to do under the impression, tKat thev public good did nbt require it.' I will conclude, by referring you to the Aurora. for another misrepre sentatiort, relating to the interview with Messrs. M'Kinny, Snyder, &c. It is there aUedged, in an extract of a letter, dated; Lcuicaster, March 2Sth, iffOS, that one of the members (Mr. M'&inneY) had written to the Gover nor demanding an explanation but received no answer." I now send the original ilctter ; and, you will find, that it clcfes not contain a word, beyond his ioUdlaoti, for the ap pointment of hi friiind to be a jus tice ot thq pejacc. Eeupkased to re turn Mr. K.nncj's lettet when you find it convenient. In haste, I amj dear ?, Vvith slh- cere attachment, XQurfiitfjul and cb't. servant, . TpOMAS M'KEAI.

It appears since then, that the said Daniel Lavender has sold a Note to Mr. Moses Griffin, merchant of Newborn, on Lemuel Byrd, Esq. of Le noir Counry, and told Mr. Onffin that I let him. bave the Ncte, which h not true, neverhaving hadahy personal acquaintance with Mr. 3i d, nor should I know him if I fiw him, and 1 never traded with him in any way.
