Mr. Webster Reply to a Challenge.
XAm7 Webster to Jno. Randolph of Jlonanoke.
Washington. April, 1816.
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.
Your obedient servant,
DAM EL WEBSTER.
