On the first wbis-' Ir cf detraction, We saw youcourf Je enquiry which had been solicited 7 your accusers, while they as if sasciou of their precipitancy acrd tincss endeavored to retrace the b?t'ther had taleni ; An invitation wt, given fdjour Ernies to m Vk full fvrlnrVnrnt heir krtowlt dge on that .subject. fid thtm to meet you befote J-Jd:cUl tribuual ; but they depied the honest and imprcscfTn$ble ViU ?c confronted by y bur frs: they etulked you crra' which you were cot permitted to enter, nd- while they objected to the weakness and" incompetency of the court of enquiry, they refused to extend its privileges and powers. Such was the primary aspect Jf their inconsiderate accusations ; arjd such were the disadvantages unOcrjwhich you were compelled to labor In cr n ducilng yc ur vindication. . But with a spirit of liberality and innocence you waved all k(al objection to the Introduction of he authenticated do cuments which were laid before Con gress, as evidence before tne court ; and tho silence might have ensured your:acqttiital, you proceeded to a minute developcmcnt f the transac tions which formed the basis of the accusation This developement has incontestibly demonstrated your in nncencet and the indefatigable zeal of your enemies. Permit Us, sir, to embrace this op pbrtunily of dwelling on the recol lection of the services you hare ren dertd to your country. It was des tined for, your hand to seal the con tention of Saratoga, w hich secured the issue of that contest which mack us a nation ; and for you it was re served to bifile the arts and enter piixe of a conspirator, and save your country from the horrors of a civil war. These signal sen ices will ne ver be forgotten by a free people Had not the honest energy of your character actuated all your measures at Ncw-Orleans, had you preferred the insidious call of private friend ship to the paramount duties cf p: trNjtism, a fair portion cf An:eric might have been lost to your coun trymen. But the sturm has past the bolt that was intended fr youi destruction has fallen harmless at ycur feel, and we rejoice sir, thai you have triumphed ,Vcr the arts ol i your enemies, and proved yourscll deserving of the confidence of yuur ' country.
