mistake (if you Lave really raiflaken him) I must beg
you once more to peruse the preface, particularly the last
ten or twelve lines. The very reverse is the truth. Can
dour has laboured inceffmUy, for a long, time pafl, to
draw the attention of his countrymen to objects of the
highest importance; and he too, Sir, like you, has done
his country fubfiantial services abroad, but he has never
boasted of them, happy in having done his duty. He has
looked down on the most flattering plans of wealth and
consequence. and is actually at this very time devoting
htsdays and nights to the good of America, although to
the ruin of his private fortune. Permit me, Sir, before
I leave you, to all 'one question — Haw Kapp ned it that
you did not comply with your promise in the firft part of
your address, by informing the public how that letter got
into Con~refs ? You have told us indeed how it got into
the hands of the President and of Mr. Duane, but there
you stop; I wifli you bad proceeded ; it was proper in
my opinion you should; for I believe thereby hangs a
tale. One word more be'ore we part, and then adieu for
ever good Mr. Deane—Be assured that Candour (I have
it from himfelf) wiflies to have no dispute with yeu or
with any man living, and means to deprive himfelf of the
honor of any reply to what you may fay of him here
after. His firfl and only request to you, is, that you
will address yourfelf in future to your best friend and
monitor common sense.

SIR,
A S there are small flies which frequently injure and
sometimes entirely destroy young cabbage plants,
please to inform the Public, that this may be prevented
by flicking small branches of green elder in the ground,
so as that the leaves may be near the plants; it having
been found by experience, that by this means those infers
will very soon be removed.'
