VINCENNES, Janurary 6, 1810 The importance of the documents which accompanied the president's message, has induced the Editor to exclude almost every other subject, to lay them before his readers, notwithstanding their great length, he hopes they will receive, as he is sure they deserve, their most serious and attentive pe rusal. Extract of a letter from Thomas Randolph, Esq. to the Editor, dated, Washington.Citv, Dec. 11th, 1809. Sir. To prevent any misrepresentation of my memorial, I have thought it advisable to inclose it to you for publication. ihjecled in its original form, to the inlpectioo of all, 1 mny brfiv-d the trouble and vexition of refruitu; it fiom the dif. tailed afpecAsin which it would be pheed by thofe, who, feeing every thing which comes from me with an unf ivorahle eye, upon the bare fugeftion that I had pre fented a memorial to Congrefs, would quickly make me fay what the inltrument flees not contain, and give to it coutlrutti onswhuh its publication muff prevent. The divifion of the Territory gives to the little Vmcennes faction frrne pretext for afiuming a confequence at the feat of government to which they are hy no means entitled, the pretention is ccrtiinly fallaci ous. Were they as little noticed at home, S3 they are here, th-y would be harmlefs the friends of peace, of harmony, and of their country, would have nothing to fear from their diabolical machinations. Repremutations brtfely falb but fpacioufly nude, and not contradicted, caufed the dK itionof thr Territory, than which nothing Would have hern more eafy to pievent. -Thisfsl proves, that the majority Oiould never fleep at their potts, and that fancitd frcurity, from a confc toufnefs of redtttude, too often produces a dangerous apathy. The bill I forwarded to the Governot 1;Q week, fupplemr-Ual to the aft extend ing the rtht of fnff ige. Ins paflVd the fe cond re:dinj in-the Sepat? without amend ment, and no douhf w:ll thu? he enaded fofmnasit reoives the fandion of thIVttiJeii: it Hi ill he fent on. Th- a.ljitfiment of our differences with the belligerents is as remote as ever, what m--fures will be adopted hy Congrefs to meet the exigency of the cnfis, is matter cf conjecture. The public mind is ia anx ii'us fufpenre. On Friday UQ mr. GilesV reHdutions were called up, which he fup ported with his ufual energy and eloquence, in a f;efcb friuht with that pitriotic fire, nd juft rrff fitmrnt. which lliotild animate the h re -a ft of everv Am- rican, at the info lent demeanour of the mritilh minillcr, to warHs oar overnm--nt.
