the preceding one found me at this place, where my
preparations for leaving Congs. will keep me much of
the remainder of my time. The footing on which
the Impost is placed by the Assembly is not an eligible
one, but preferable to a total rejection. It is to
be regretted that immediate use was not made of the
impression of the letter from Genl. W. The interval
preceding the next Session will give full scope to
malignant insinuations. The reversal of the award
in the case of Nathan may possibly be just in itself;
but it will require all your eloquence I fear to shield
the honor of the State from its effects. The Agency
which the Delegation had in the affair will impart no
small share of the mortification to them. I suppose
the feelings of Mr. Jefferson & Mr. Harrison also will
not be much delighted by it. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
