I could find no mo tive for withholding from an individual, what I had heard and feen of the conduct of Mr. Jeflbrfoji, whilft governor of Virg'mia, but for my information on this fubjccl, I repeat, i that I am indebted to fotne of the moft truth ful men of the community, who were ena bled from their fituatifans, and qualified from their talents, corredlly to appreciate the cha racter o f the firft o f f ic ^ o f ftate. Whether the dedudions of thofd gentlemen, or the ^ppgofite impreffions, o f the certifiers of Mr. 4ence, Jcfterfon’ig condmB, be belt founded, it is not for rae to fay. t again aftertj that I did derive my intelli- from men ef a^e, and rcfpectability, and as ^ e ll might i call on the perfons who .have certified, to prove the truth of their r d - pe€live certificates, as to, be requited m y fdf, fi^brtantiatc what I have aftefted, urilefs my efteinies, in the indefatigable rapacity of their purfuit, can find forae one a£f of my iife, calculated to invalidate, what I may af- viert— I never did engage to publifii in a newf- p^^per, and expofe to the blood-hounds of a hloo'-thhrfty jdntoi the names oF m y infor- rfoantf, and had I done fo, I ftiould hardly feel myfelf bound to anfwer the call of the anonymous mercenaries of the party, who are ^^aid to enter the lifts. If perfonally applied by % gentleman^ I pledge myfelf to g ive the m m e s of the perfons, on the authority of whofe information I made my communica tion— I f charged with “ wilful mificprcfen- nation,” by any man, whofe fituation in life, and ftanding in fociety, entitle him to my no tice, T pledge myfelf to iiifliiS: the ebaftife- m ent due to fuch an offence..— I fbouid he .-crnrined by my friends, and laughed at by , ;ah, were; I fo far to forget m y fdf, as to pay any ftrious regard to the vof« ei preferea nihily id an klrtiing aewfpaper prlBier, every biaft Ly correfpoodence, and it was fuch as I ftated. I did nor engage to publifti this correfpon- dence, nor ftiall I urge cbl* W» to do fo, un« der the particular circumftance, which indu ces him at this momenty to withhold it— I af- fert that the whole of this correfpondcnce has been exhibited to many of Mr- Jefferfoffs warmeft political friends, and if my ftatement be otherwifi- than ftrri£lly true, let me be con- vii^Bed. W h ether a deliberate a£k of cruel perfidy, towards an intimate friend, and a man of honor, be an adl praifeworthy or the oppofite, the world ,will decide. I did fay that Mr. Jefferfon, has made a tender of worthlefs paper in difeharge of a: specie loan, becaufe I bad fecn it under the fignature of the refpedlable gentleman, on whom the attempt was made, and becaufe I had heard it avowed by mariy of Mr. Jeffer- foh's moft ardent admireis.— W hether the in tention to pay fifty pounds, loaned under par ticular ciireuraftances of friendOvip, with a parcel of trafe, not worth fifty-pence, whsit- evef, the laws be an aifl pralfe-worthy, or the oppofite, the world will alfo decide. So let the world decide whether or not, under the foregoing circumftances, I was, or was not juftifiable in faying, that I believe ad the chargee againft M r.
