One of the Commodore's most inveterate persecu- tors was at the time a member of Congress, and to his influence and misrepresentations he always attributed a decision, so mani- festly at war with the laws of the State and the constant usages of the district from which he claimed. By this decision of the House of Jlepresentatives, the city of Baltimore lost her privi- lege, and the county had two representatives. But there was no remedy, and the Commodore contented himself under the wisdom of th...e old proverb, that ' what cannot be cured, must be endured !' Immediately after that infamous outrage by the British upon our national dignity, which in the diplomatic phraseology 1807 of the day was called the ' affair of the Chesapeake, ' Com- modore Barney, who it may be readily believed felt in no common degree the indignation which pervaded every class of our citizens, addressed the following letter to the President of the United States. ' Baltimore, July 4th, 1S07. ' Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States.
