Hving feen in the " MilTouri Gazette" and alfo in the Weftern World" an unfair reprefentatton of the unfortunate meeting between Doclor J. Dunlap and Rice Jones of this place, I think it but jutlice that the public mould be informed of the rife and progrefs of that difpute.

It is true that col. Bond had an affair cj

honor with mr. R. Jones, in which Dunlap was the friend of Bond, and that Bond did requeft Dunlap to publifii the acknowledgment of mr. Jones. This publication

drew from mr. Jones the hittercfl invec! ives and perfonal abufe By fcveral publi

cations lie endeavoured to place the Doctor

in the moll rediculous point of view, as r. phv fician ; and to diftroy his pradlice by which alone he fupported a young and rifing family. This condufl on the part of mr. Jones irritated Dr. Duntaps feelings to ai; unufual degree Ke anfwered Jones' fr.

cond oublication : from which it was infer-

ed, that Jones had a&ed cow-nclly "m th-

affair with Bond Mr. Jones publilhcd threats to. cov-hide the Doctor; and mutual threats ferved but to increafe the fl-me'

v:hich exilled in the hreafl of v?c party .

I'he Doflorwas inlVrnT-d that mr. Tones,

yas armed and drtermin-d to t!;e i.is life it

they met and it is not exactly known wb

made the firfl afT.uilt : but it :ipn?r?is th.

mtin t!i- iiret, and Dunlap ::ttenpud to ufe a fm.'Il ranc- Tones was r.rmed with a

deik ind ic.iVems liv-d atteni t'-u to dn'.'.v it on thf Djdlor It is therefor believed that

the Doctor conceiving hitnfelf in danei

had drawn his piHol a;;d difcIurgJ It

was urirrd to this difpute bv fome per f.;- ' ' ltlZt?lSy

in K.x&. a hut this is f !!, fr.xe the mo ft intimate f 1 ier.ds of the Doctor luu uifuanYd him from meeting mr. Jones nor inhere one re tfon to btlieve th:tt perfn i'.i Iv-iik ikia (as fl '.cd in the publications) w;;sjt:alous of ir. Jones to tiu: degree. It uuy b f lid he w?.s well informed an;".

that his future profprcts in life wrr prnrn

attempts not only to injure the Doctor in his property but to drive him frOm a country which he had chofen for his future refidence, had naturally a great effect on the delicate feelings of the Doc"lor wc do

not pretend at this moment to pronounce

the guilt or innocence of the Doclor on

this of cafion ; but we fay that in fuch a

concatenation of aggravations as we have

witneffed in this cafe, no man of fpirit can predict in what his conduft, would have

terminated We are well affured that Dun

lap wis a man of the higheft fence of honor

and thertioie did not attack Jones without giving him a chance to defend himfelf

Hence we conclude that the advifers ol

mr. Jones fauirht his diftru&ion, and his death may jufrly be attributed to them and the imprudence of his perfonal attacks; i d not to the advifcrs and neighbours of Dodor James Dunlap. Spectator. some few dnys Hnce John l-.dgar ilTued
