In 1800 Mr. Jefferson appointed him Serretarv of the territorv of Indiana, an office which beheld until that ten:lorv became a state. At this period having become somewhat infirm, and being af.bctcd hv an incurable cataract, he with his amiable lady removed from Vincennes (o the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. G.

The negro uian, w ho had oniv come hither on a vovage, said he had only been in Phila delphia. about four months. Poor Patrick turned round to bis wife and children, and looking as if for the last time on their rosv cheeks, concluding that in four months thev must also change their complexion, exclaimed, fcO merciful powers!
