Sib t For having declined to comply with yonr demand jesterdaj in the House, for an explanation of words of a general nature, used in debate, you now " demand- of me that satisfaction which yonr insulted fecl inirs reaoire." and refer nie to roar friend, Mr. . I presume, as he is the bearer of of your note, for such arrangements as are uiual. This demand for explanation, you m my iudirmem.. as a matter of right, were not en titled to make on me ; nor were the temper and style of your own reply to my objec tion to the sugar-tax of a character to in duce me to accord it ns matter of courtesy, Neither can I, under the circumstances of the case, recognize in you a right to call me to the field to answer what you may Dlease to consider an insult to your feelings It is unnecessary for me to state other and obvious considerations growing out of this case. It is enongh that 1 do noi ieei myself bound at all times, and under any circumstances, to accept from any man, who ahall choose to risk his own me, an iiivua tion of this sort ; although I shall be nl ways prepared to repel, in a suitable man ner, the aggression of any man who may presume upon such a refusal.
