Big get in March 131 4" 5 it is no doubt treasured in the memory of some men who were rangers, and many of the militia, that Mr. Hend ks wrote a certain letter last year, r e ting ranger pay, which did not s 1 much light upon the subject, (I ho' it elicited a little) his interference msy be duly credited. I will therefore only rema k that Mr. Hendricks once made

arrangement with some of capt. F.

I have heard that he v is so generous as not to claim one cent! H v many votes that arrangement seid, or whether it secured any, 1 am r. i .b : to say ; hut one thing is obvious, Mr. Hendricks will merit the most disinted Favor when this bill becomes a law. ime trite observations about tl ssion of New States, Mr. Hend ks says, ft petition had been presentt I Fi mi the people of Missouri, praying f r a law to authorise them to form a itution md state government, u but

C e asserts'

no bill will be reported

r n during t e present session. This declaration Is contrary to the fact, . - v tlcutatcd to deceive and mislead, has be. n reported, conformable to : : Wfeh ot the petitioners, and it was expecfed would become a law. Thus Mi Hendricks has proven himself as h ible to err in regard to what would be, is e hat with regard to what had been; v MP ir.v opinion, if he merits any credit fi 001 ns, it must be as a trcthft Hot as a politition. We find him, howrvej-, filling or.e half hi letter With remarks upon Spanish affairs. Like fanner s , b, who in the Stuhb4et Has fed without I -Main! or trouble, he is pUtte full upon this subject. This v A nld ail admit compensates for his m m

oarent ignorance ol a large portion ot

claimed his attention particularly ? He tells us, very laconically, that our three per cent road fund -; amounted on the 30th Of September last, to g 1 2280 84, cents ; (as laid before him from the secr tary of the treasury) which if judiciously managed and appropriated, will be of immense advantage to the state." This remark proves his sagacity ; it is a shrewd discovery indeed, and very few of us could have made it. liut does Mr. Hendricks doubt that this fund will not be judiciously managed and afifirofiriated ? O, no, although he has so expressed himself; yet certainly, I will not even suspect him of thinking so. With regard to the Spanish provinces. I trust in the allwise disposer of events, that the goddess of rational liberty may not have to console herself as some of the modern bucks of the first wTater, not unfrequently do when a lady is illnatured, or stubborn, or will not manifest a complaisant disposition towards them, they immediately begin to consider if she is worth much trouble ? or if they may not be better without her ? and sometimes force a belief upon their minds that could not, under other circumstances, even be harbored in thot I have frequently heard that it is the peculiar province of genius to dispise even political consequence, as it is usually served up to the rest of mankind. This may be the cause of all the blunders in Mr. Hendricks letter. Probably like other great geniuses he only tried to heighten his consequence by a project ! 1 his project we are to suppose, required of him to forget exactly what had engaged the attention of congress ; to omit any notice of some matters very interesting to the people of this section of the state ; to till half his letter with stale remarks upon Spain and her colonies, and to mistate facts that should have been within his own knowledge, &c &c. Bishop Berkely says in one of his sermons, that when we read any thing that has two handles, we should always lay hold of the best. Now let us reflect one moment upon the topics introduced by Mr. Hendricks, in his circular ; the to pics he omits to notice in it : and the statements he makes, and then lay hold of whatever handle we think the best. There are obviously two but both God knows are bad enough he sinks with one, and cannot by any fair construction, swim with the other. To conclude. Mr. Hendricks it is expected, will again stand before us a candidate for some office, even though he may not ofFer for congress ; but for congress I think he will again offer and although he may not be so strongly infected as some of his predecessors were, w ith that silly ambition which always seeks to attain its end per fan et nefas ; yet after this letter and his conduct during this session of congress, if he be again elected, the wisdom of the state may certainly M sleep a dogs sleep," or have recourse to grog and tobacco, by which all of us can puff away care and keep thought at a proper distance. I am yours sincerely, KNOX. P. S. If occasion require you may again hear from me.
