A copy of the Proceedings of the Senate of the United States, in relation to a publication in “The Aurora,” and ascribing guilt to me in that publication, and a breach of their Privileges, has been left at my office. It is with pleasure I observe that the justice of the Senate provides, as the constitution prescribes, that I shall “have an opportunity to make any proper defence ” for the...
I beg you to lay before the Senate this acknowlegement of my having received an authenticated copy of the resolution of Monday last in my case. Copies of those resolutions I transmitted to Messrs. Dallas and Cooper , my intended counsel, soliciting their professional aid. A copy of my letter to each of those Gentlemen is enclosed, marked (A). Their answers I have also the pleasure to enclose,...
The papers accompanying were given me for communication to you, they originated in the following manner. Prior to my setting out for Lancaster in the month of October last, Mr. Lee , the person whom they concern, called on me and stated that he had been dismissed from his situation for discovering the removal of papers from the Department of State by means of a false key, and wished me to...
Mr. W. P. Gardner who will present this letter carries with him a small box containing impressions of two Medals , which I have had by me some time past waiting for an opportunity safe and suitable. Mr. Gardner is a man of great worth in every civil relation and is one of those who was compelled to quit the Treasury Department thro’ the injuries done him on account of his political opinions....
Without any other title to the liberty I take, that [ sic ] what may be allowed me from the respect I have learned to entertain for your virtues and talents, exerted in the cause of my country, and which I have in a much humbler sphere endeavored to emulate, I have take[n] the liberty of addressing you, and even in this first instance to solicit a favor. The publication of “ The Aurora ” tho’...
I was honored by yours of the 23 May, which I should have acknowleged before could I have found a person to whose care I might entrust the delivery of a letter. Lieutt. Mc’Ilroy late commander of the Augusta has informed me of his intention to proceed this morning, and I embrace the opportunity of writing by him. Mr M’Ilroy it appears incurred the enmity of captain Sever , by drinking Mr...
The appearance of the Indian Chiefs in the House of Representatives this morning, has revived in my mind a subject upon which I have long reflected, and concerning which it was my purpose long since to have taken the liberty of addressing you. A consciousness of the superiority of the Whites, has at all times prevailed among the Indians, and influenced them much more than the generally...
Wm. Duane’s respects—No copies of the Country Aurora have ever been reserved, and only ten of the daily paper; if the Daily Aurora will be acceptable, it will be to be ordered from Philadelphia, as none of 1801. are yet bound. No map of Maryland is to be had here. I have ordered two different copies from Philadelphia, which if they should not be acceptable or either of them, can be kept here...
The bustle attendant on our election affairs here will I hope excuse the delay of three days since the receipt of your letter . Upon the receipt of the Instructions concerning the Books from London and Paris , I immediately addressed the originals to Messrs Johnson in London and Pougens in Paris, with Duplicates of each in my hand writing to Mr Erving and Mr. Short—directing the Booksellers to...
My absence from home until this moment prevented my sending an answer to your note before. Young Coopers name is Thomas Cooper ,—he appears to be about 22 years old. Lacretelle’s book I have not here but have written for it by Mail to Philadelphia, and requested it to be sent by some private hand. Paine’s third letter gives me considerable uneasiness, he has in fact commenced the subject of...
