. Accused of treacherous conduct," and ot "base collusion," by Mr. S. Colman, of Mcrotn, some answer from mc, would probabiy, bo expected. But being ot an easy, smiling habit, and aware of the strong inclination ol this same Mr. Colman, to ob ige and serve col. liiake and of his touchtnexs in relation to services he may have tcndctetl, I hali not get angry. The people of Sullivan county Villi know cn whom to lasten the charge ol " treacherous conduct," and of base collusion." To them I willingly leave Mr. S Colman, of Merom, and doubt not that the next election for Clerk of Sullivan, will teach him their opinion as to whom the charge of c treachery" and collusion" bust befits. In justification of my own conduct, I have but one observation to make. When Air. Colmau's note to ttatliff Boon," was received by mc, Mr. Boon was in Vincen.it s, tin

Now this act ol justice, although it produced same disappointment to Mr. C olman, hardly mcits the anger and ill temper he displays, lie should not call hard names he should keep cool. At all events, Mr S. Colman should set a better exaple to the Jackson and Bonn men, in Sullivan and Vg cowries. But was Mr Boon fairly treated by Mr. S. Colman?
