Mr DUNLAP,
r p 11 F, following whifpert being circulated about this
' plice, wbhli may be injurious to the characters of
the innocent, and it being the with of a great number of
yor cufianeis, coat toe.faddie ihould be fixed on the
right horse, 1 have to request you will give them a place
:n your next paper, as the most effectual way to have
'Matters o' tQu Kind cleared up to the fatisfaaion es the
people, who express jealousies on foch eccafions, and the
public in general. Y
It lias been whimpered by feme, and confidently asserted
by others, that Mr. Jo nRu -—d of this place
male application to the Captain and supercargo of a vtf
fel now here from Bermuda, for his cargo of salt, in an
frer to wlicit the Captain informed him, that he could
not p rt with his fait on any other condition, but that of
procuring.a load of provisions, which Mr. R -d
orfered to supply him with, provided he would let him
have the salt on his terms, and a commission on the pur
chase o' the cargo of provifiens, and io the course of the
conversation gave the Captain to understand, that unless
he accepted of his offer, he would' Hand but little chance,
or words to that effed, of getting liberty to load with
provisions, and gave for a reason, that he and the
G r ' s brother had, or was about to enter into a
partnerfllip, and no other person could obtain a licence to
export provifi ns. If this is really the true Rate of Mr.
R d's affections, as represented by the Captain, it's
high time the matter should be cleared up by those gen
tlemen, tothe fatisfadion of the inhabitants of this State
in particular, as the reputation and honor of our rulers
are net only hurt, by men affirming fomurh to themselves
as Mr. R— d has done on this occasion, but the
whole State.
