This oration was sent to Jefferson from Savannah by Samuel Morse, August 9, 1802: “I have the pleasure to inclose you a copy of an oration delivered on the 3d of July, the day chosen by the citizens of this
place for the commemoration of our independence. This oration is the very hasty production of a young friend of mine, who
is now aid to gen. Jackson. I persuade myself that you will receive some pleasure in the evidence he gives of the firmness
of his republicanism, though, taking the expressions in a different sense, he disagrees with you on the subject of the unanimity
of national sentiment . . .”
Thomas Usher Pulaski Charlton, 1779-1835, jurist and author, was attorney-general for the State of Georgia.
