LIKE offering rogucs, who fec from town

iometimes their ,rrmeJ, to enable them TO dcprc-
date with more iecufity, on the property of 9TH
ers, you have lsft the Chronicle at Bolton, and
IN the nam. Of jsm6roaig5 arc now endeavoring
10 dett9oy the character of Judge CHASE thro'
Inc medium OF Portland paper. But happily
io- the man you with to injure, like other troll
Ing depredators on property, YOU will always

WAS j, not enough Tor yonr bafe foul to ma
lisne Judge Chaie thro' the circulation of the
Ch, onicle or do you fufpe6t, as jritiy you
may, that ilandcr has loft all ts malignity when
It appears in that prol,auted paper You will
ioon discover, however, that you have gained
Sat Hs.!c on this ground by the change, jayySood
and INTEGRITY are the mels di.singuifng lea
lures Of both papers. .
You arc an luxurious example OF the old pro-
vert 4v5at Is tyed in TIE ba,,e faan,t Be 4rbippea

and the place Of reiidcrcr as often as any New
gate pilferer ever did. YOU cannot put OF an Oh

Fir, this is falf: ar. yon knew it when you wrote
your letter No articles of impeachment have
ever been flied agsinf Judge Chafe before the
Senate nor have any been agreed on by the
Houf= of Representatives. 10 that the iecond
clauie of your fentence. and the whole coniits
ii little more than two lircs, may be eventually
asc,roneous as the fri is falfe in fact. Cal.
culaeirc, as the leaders cf the fsf,yjsa Fafli9s
always have done, upon the ignorance of yoer
readers, and prefar.ing that thcf= who take the
paper IN which you have come forward, are as
unacquainred with all public ,rantaet,cas ret
pc6ting the government, as thole who read the
Chronicle arc, YOU hazardcd tie experiment., and
added another fan.ood to the old bit to keep
up the geaue.yieai fy2grxC:on mentioned III my

Chate and Demonstrated, fror, the cafes you
brough. to illu;tra.e the IMPROPERLY OF his con-
DUFF, in appealing 10 the public, that iuch a
charge lay expressly aganft the Houie Of Repre-
ientatiyes and not agairit him, !Aali refer you

in reply to this part Of your Ssmproaien letter
You fay Judge CbGls, ei,enaaanesa ar lie

Sc event ofn easGstutiaaal riai"-lf the hca!r OF
representatives had proceeded properly IN con-
forn1ity TO the principles Of the contribution, and
fed articles Of impeachment againit ludse
Chafe before the Senate in ,ss5onas'e time
and had not permitted sspar.e tcitimony taken
by their committee to be pubihed, IN their
official paper, to the people at large, it would
have been improper for the Judge to have made
what you call an appeal to the public Bot
fuch is no, the cafe. No articles of imPesch-
,nent have been agreed upon, much leis filed
in the confessional court for trying impeach-
mcnts-no evidence has been taken on the part
Of the houie that can be u.cd againH Judge
Chaie III the Senate : But articles, or rather
fonething has been reported to the houie that
may hereafter be made into legal articles OF I'M
parchment, and thefe, without having been ia
ken up or examined by the houfe, in their crude
fate, together with all the expar.r teitimony Ia
ken by the committee behind the Judges back,
have'been publifhed to the people OF the United
States. This itatemept believe is inbitantal-
ly true. Now, fir, who makes the appeal TO the
people the houie of representatives, or Judge
Ghaie Does the Judge act improperly, or
,r,anifeh an undue impotence IN replying as he
has done to this rspayts evidence, thus thrown
by the houfe of representatives to the people
a, large, and IN my opinion, with dehgn to
forelta.. their fcnt imen,s Or rather may we
not fay, that III all this the Judge has done
right but the houte in theif mode OF conducting
the previous fteps Of an intended impeachment
have n,apifeitly deva;ed from the .pira Of tie
contribution, as well as from the uiages of all
