Extract of letter from Hon. George W. Campbell, then United States Senator, to General Jackson.

18 February, 1817.
I feel confident, sir, you would not mistake my motives in declining to engage, at a stipulated price, an agent to procure the passage of a law on which it might become my duty to vote; and certainly I did not misconceive yours in applying to me on the subject. I trust we shall be disposed to duly appreciate the motives of each other, not-withstanding there may be shades of difference in the opinions we entertain on the same subject.
