I HAVE now, Sir, for the firft time, a few moments of leisure, firce my lad address to you.—To thefc, you have an undoubted claim ; and I regret, that I have been under an indifpenfible neccfiity.fo long, to neglefl you. management and artifice, well worthy the author of the notes upon Virginia. Rtit nonrithOanding all vour original art and caution—nothwithflanding all your so- licitude and anxiety to the contrary, that very letter has at length u got into a ne\vf- pajjer," that field, that public, open field, «'against a centeft in winch you ate so en- t'lrely decided." For this you may tliank r not only voor own wickedness, hut your foUy % uft the mod a rtful are sometimes off their guard You found by experience that your secret, your mole-like machinations were not so ef- fe&ual as you had hoped ; that after the facts of which I had put the public in pof feflion, Something more on your part was neceflary to prevent ynu from general con- demnatlon In fine, to use your own words, J'ou a heard such frequent and reproachful allufioos to the nnc§ntrodtcted libels of Lu ther Martin,'* that you could endnre them ro longer and it seems that you could ?' of no better expedient than to publi(h tion In the last war, in which we, as a part of the Kritilh empire, were engaged against Fiance, persons authorised by the Govern ment of Virginia, had occasionally at his house met and conferred with the Indians, and he and his family had greatly diftin- I gtiifhed themklves in that war. He was also counedled with a number of the mod refpe&able chara&ers in Virginia as a mem ber of the Ohio Company, of which I be lieve he had conceived the original idea, and of which he might be, with no grfrat impro priety, considered the vital spark, that firfl kindled it into exigence. Scarce any event in the hiftofy of America was better known than the mannrr in which his eldest son gallantly fell in the service cf his country, killed by, and killing an Indian Chief, with whom he was engaged. Nor was the name of mv fathers-law so totally unknown or undiftinjruifhed. When but a child, he shared with his father and his brothers in the toils and in the dangers of warfare. In.the-fummerartd fall of 1774, lie com manded a coniparrry ifl the fsrvice of Virgi nia, again!} the Indians, firfl under Colonel M'Donald, and then under Lord'Dunmsre. During which campaign, independent of his military services, it wai hy reason of the confidence the western inhibitanti had in him, and their attachment to him, in a con siderable dea ree, that supplies were obtained, which gave it so filcceAtu! a termination. 1 he State of Virginia fettled with his exe cutors a large debt which they owed on that ocofun). When Congress firft detersiitied to bring rifle companies into service, he was, if not the firft, one of the fit-ft, who wa< fixed upon tor their tron m uid. The newspapers of the day, contain the inoO flattering eulogiums on the commander, and 011 the company he commanded, for the rcfpe£tabilitv of the characters of which it w»j composed, and for their unequalled skill in the ul'e of the rifle. He di-d in Newyork in the fall of 1775. He wasburied with military honors —all ranks of citizens attended his funeral ; the pomp and parade attending the deposit of his remains in Trinity Church yard, was publifiled i:i the newspapers. You was a member of Congrels when he received his appointment, and at the time of his -v.ith ; a»d 1 may fairly pri fume was in the habit of knowing and attending to what was done under Congressional ads, and of reading the public paj^-rs. A brother and a coulin of him had held comniiffions under the government of Virjir nia,and served with lord Dunmore again!) the Indians, in the summer of 1774. ; the one as a captain and the other as a lieutenant ; ot whom the firjl was appointed, during the revolution, a colonel ot' the militia of Hampftiire county in your (late, and held the ippoirtm.-nt until his death : the second served -vith his brother in the rifl; compa r.y. The whole family lived either within or in fijht of Virginia ; ai:d the line of that slate ran through their pofTcffipns. And yet alter all this, you have, in your letter to Governor Henry, hazarded the assertion chat you " knew nothing of the Cresaps ! !" G red at Jiidceus appella. But perhaps you would wilh us to suppose that you bad been born and educated in one of tho(r caverns, which yeu have so minutely and elegantly described in your Notes upon Virginia, and that you had but just emerged from that your solitary habitation when you wrote thole Notes.. Indeed I can conceive no other decent excuse, but a fu-.pufition like this, which even your admirers could sug gest, for the (liameful ignorance you have (hewn with regard to fafls, which you have publilhed ia that work, and which no man of principle _oHghc to have committed to print' without"a certainty q{ their truth. But let it. be remembered, tliat.you never '"(ended this.your affcrtion (hould " get in to a'newspaper I" LUTHER MARTIN. March 28 congress: HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES.
