Davxs, During the last session in which Mr. Pickering was a member of, the Senate, I was permitted to copy from the original, the following letter. I was desirous of publishing it at the time but Mr. Pickering observed, that he should 'probably give it to the public, wi othcr.matter he was preparing the press, the next summer. So much misrepresentation and falsehood has been uttered in the democratic papers, with regard to the part taken in convention by general Hamilton, I consider it important that, this letter should no longer remain generally unknown and I presume colonel Pickering can now have no objection to its publication.

The highest toned propositions which I made in the. convention were for a president, senate and judges, during good behaviour; a hor.se of representatives for three, years.

Though I would have enlarged the legislative power of the general government, yet I never contemplated the abolition of the state governments; but on the contrary they were, in some particulars, constituent parts of my plan. vThi3 plan was, in my, conception conformable with the strict theory of a government purely republican the essential criteiia of which are, that the principal organs of the executive and legislative departments, be elected by Si Nov. 3, 1812.

Madison has been frequently applied to for his removal but has always turned a deaf ear.

I may truly then say that I never proposed either a president or senate for life, and that I neither recommended nor meditated the' annihilation of the state And I may add, that in the course of the discussions in the convention, neither the.

propositions thrown out for debate, nor even those voted ia the earlier tuges of deliberation, were considered as evidences of a definitive opinion in the proposer or voter.

12 31 117 29 143 final opinion was against an executive, during gbod behaviour, on thc account of the increased danger to the public tranquility incident to the election of a magistrate of this degree of permanency. In the plan of a constitution, which I drew up while the-convention was sitting, and "which I communicated to Mr Madison about the close of it, perhaps a day. or; two after, the: office of president, has no greater duration than for three years. This plan was predicated upon these bases: 1. That the political principles of the people of this country would endure nothing but a republican government.

2. That in the actual situation of the. country, it was itself right and proper that the republican theory should have a fair end full trial 3. That, to such a trial it was essential that the government should be so constructed as to give.it all the energy aid the stability reconcileable with the principles of that theory. were the genuine sentiments of my heart, and upon them then I acted.

sincerely hope that it may not hereafter be discovered that through want of sufficient attention to the last idea, the experiment of republican government, even in this country, has' not been as complete, as satisfactory and as decisive, as could be wished.

From the National Intelligencer. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Chilicothcy to a gentleman in this city, dated Oct. 16, 1812. The result of the election cf this state is not yet known, as it respects all the candidates; colonel -M'Arthur had an unanimous vote in all the townships in this district, for congress. Colonel Dun-lap is elected to the state senate by a considerable majority.

Judge Scott, it is supposed, is elected governor. "The Clintonians are rnaHig the greatest exertions here Their ticket, as published in the Supporter, will have the support of all the federalists in the state." From the Alexandria Gazette, Great anxiety is felt respecting the despatches recently received at Washington, and the result of the new propo-si ions ich they are supposed to contain Although nothing official has yet transpired or will probably be made public uritil live meetiog of congress, there is reason to believe that they contain the most liberal propositions which the Bri. tish government can or will make, and in the event of their rejection, they will prosecute the war with all the vigour icy can give it. From several little occurrences which have recently taken place at Washington, we are inclined to think that somstning good may yet come wut of A'uzaretu The Pornr-cuese government has issued a procUuiiuon of neutrality as to 1093. 874 42 136--10S 254.
