have acknowledged errror when proven to be so -- while futile attempts to cover it can only add to the original guilt. Your dastardly notice of my remarks upon the barefaced attempt to displace me at a moment when if you had succeeded it must have delayed the payment of the militia and rangers probably 12 months Ion . r, it is unworthy of any notice trots me T ihew the people however one of your contemptible pcrveratona of obvious facts, I will refer them to my torch i letter when k y nr i onduct, situation and circumstance! "are alluded to the remark can oniy be applied to your conduct sa J.' li ofiicer and your situation a merchant. With regard to my own pecuniary matters I said nothing nor comd l w v h you, bear any comparison, For quite unlike you I have served without profit 1 have sowed a tth out reaping. After abusing me in the most utijustfiablc manner you tell me m ar the close t' the 3rd number, not to abuse you uite lUperfluoua. You nrst Insiduously attempted to destroy my reputatioivl openly charge you with the fact and reply with calmness and moderation Vou then attempt thioughout 3 Kong epistles, to mistate facts, falsely criminate me and cloak your own infamy and modestly close the whole by telliog me not to abuse you . 1 ci onot abuse you sir, your v. -. ite r has degraded you, and situated as he leaves vomit i ould require a disj osiiion that I do not possess to abuse. The man who betrays ids own trust and confidence and who employs a w riter w hom he serves and who resembles him, to stick up his feigned character k conduct to the world, tinseled over with the most unjust ami unmanly abuse of a man who has now become grey in the 1 1 v ice i f his country, all never be abused by me in return No 1 Will merely si ow him as he is, and thus palsy the disgraceful undermining

machinations of himself and the great men who no u compose his hoato! coun sellors They only require to he propel h known, si i ask nothing more lor myself. iVeak and silly mortal, your writer would make you pass me on the nation for thai which I am well known not to be, in order ihat himself and you may appear d-'V pent from what you are 'tis a Ease and Fru; less ts k. Whatever opinion, or clamor, you may be able to produce around vou the voice of truth cand A be effectually drowned all your curt Lvoursl kiniure me, or show yourself different i what von are, must theref re Drove unavuilir . I have been atlack id o e way or another by every reptile of corruption within my district. They have assail I me from the crawling w orm of infan. . up to the poisonous adder that has wrijjgled into loathsome elevation. To this I have sometimes become reconciled They have thought it necessary ibr tin ir salvation and 1 have individually experienced hut little harm or inconvenience from ah such endeavours but labouring m the service of my country, I have unfortunately felt its effects With none hut you have ever I contended, because none but yourself has dared fiubttIff to assail me. V In ti er you and your fi lends have now any just cause to rejoic e at, i real cause to regret, the unprincipled tempt the public arc left to jude. It only remains for me to declare, that until i can avail ofyour testimony under c th, with those who are knowing to s mc facts present to ' ear what you may say, net ir - tha hearafter cot.:js from y 'i can merit or receive any public no t i e fi om me.
