11To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 19 February 1824 (Madison Papers)
By this Mail, I forward you three pamphlets, of which I request your acceptance—& am respectfully, Your obt. hble. servt RC ( DLC ). These pamphlets have not been identified.
12To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 28 February 1824 (Madison Papers)
By this mail I send you a copy of a recent pamphlet, which I beseech you by all your hopes of honour & reputation here, & of happiness hereafter, to read with attention—& should it convince you of the deleterious consequences of the miserable policy this Country pursues, that you will try to open the eyes of some of the influential members of Congress to the necessity of a radical change. Very...
13To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 3 April 1824 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd & carefully read your favour of the 11th. ult. & confess I regret extremely the view you have taken of the situation of the Country, & the operation of the tariff Bill. It is not a manufacturing question. It is a national one—& all the complicated distress, which, with few exceptions, pervades the Country, arises from regarding it in the former light. Out of an absurd jealousy...
14To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 5 June 1824 (Madison Papers)
You will, I doubt not, have the goodness to pardon the liberty I take, in the present letter, from the motives which lead to it, to serve a valuable citizen, & to promote the utility of some one of the great public institutions in your state, devoted to education on a large scale. Mr. John Saunderson, of this city, whom I regard as eminently qualified for a professorship of the learned...
15To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 22 April 1825 (Madison Papers)
I take the liberty of sending by this mail some recent publications, all of my writing, except two marked P & S. the first by R Peters, Esqr the second by Mr Strickland. If you can furnish me with any materials for the Annals, I shall be thankful for them. Respectfully Your obt. hble. servt RC ( DLC ). Docketed by JM . One of the “recent publications” was [Mathew Carey], Annals of Liberality,...
16To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 5 October 1827 (Madison Papers)
By this mail, I send you 30 copies of an essay on a subject of vast importance to your state, & to the southern states generally. I request you will circulate them as widely as possible. Some errors may probably be found my estimate—but will not, I am persuaded, affect the general result. I likewise send a few other articles, of which I request your acceptance. I retired from business nearly...
17To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 6 October 1827 (Madison Papers)
A very great error has escaped me the Essay on Slave Labour, which I forwarded you yesterday, and which I wish you to destroy. I send a number of corrected Copies to replace them—and am, respectfully Your obt. hble. servt RC ( DLC ). Docketed by JM . Carey omitted “in” here.
18To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 17 November 1827 (Madison Papers)
I send you by this Mail, and request Your acceptance & (if leisure permit) your perusal of some of my lucubrations, on a subject which has occupied three fourths of my thoughts & time, for nearly nine years—i.e. the best means of promoting “the wealth, power & resources” of the nation & the happiness & prosperity of its Citizens. In these labours I had no personal interest to serve, as I never...
19To James Madison from Mathew Carey, 13 December 1827 (Madison Papers)
I have duly recd your favour of the 7th. I now send you a dozen Copies of two Essays on a subject of deep importance to the welfare of the southern states, of which I have printed 1000 for gratuitous distribution. I shall have far more disciples on this subject, to the south than on the Tariff, although I am fully persuaded my doctrines on the latter subject are fully as correct as on the...
20Mathew Carey to James Madison, 12 April 1828 (Madison Papers)
I send you by this mail some of my recent lucubrations, of which I request your acceptance. I flatter myself into the hope that some of the facts & reasonings on them, will fully establish the soundness of the Hamiltonian System of policy, of which I have been the unceasing advocate for nine years. Until it is fully adopted by this Country, we shall never enjoy the high degree of prosperity...
