Harris appears to have entered upon. The character of the country is already nearly destroyed by the conduct of its agents, in almost every department of the public service. Lately, ever? since the Yazoo speculation, it has been Purer in the South than to the North and East, but without great vigilance and energy on the part of those officers who are honest, it will be lost even here. My situation for a few years past has brought into my view so much fraud and speculation, that I begin to distrust, even where confidence is a duty, and consequently, am on the brink of despairing of the republic. Make an effort my dear sir and put down this petty larceny villainy of Mr. Harris by dismissing him from your confidence and service.
