Gentlemen, I shall only reply to these unsupportable assertions; by mentioning a feW Mal that have only come to my ears a few :hOtirs . ago. From traits we judge of chataeteri, and from the following trait you may know and judge of our Oeponents, They have had the audacity to charge some men who voted tOr Me with iieiju'ry . in print. ed-bills, Which have been sent all over the Country. Some of these,men applied to me ; and they are as respeetable men a 3 any in the County, and far more free from any charge or imputatiOn Of this sort,• than I can say our Opponents are.
