THE GAZETTE.
FOR THE GAZETTE.

IN looking ONCI lHe iaos
man" nv attention was arrested, and
my indignation excited, at an lnvldl-
Gus article purporting TO be an extract
of a letter from Dover, dated March
20; bur which contains self-evident
proofs of its local origin. l shall give
myself no trouble, however, IN trac-
ing this illegitimate ban,ling to the
door of its malevolent father-l have
no wish TO deprive him of any conso-
lation the ricketty bra, can afford him.
l shall content myself with proving
that the article alluded to was not
written in Dover-for the very good
reason that it contains information
which could not possibly have reach
ed that place at the time It was writ
ten. The form of the articles of as
sociation of the Bank of Wilmington
and Brandywine was not reported by
the committee appointed for that pur-
pose until the evening of the 18th of
March-even an imperfect idea of
their contents could not, therefore,
have reached Dover before the even
ing of the 10Th, and printed copy of
their proceedings could not have been
received before the evening of the
Esd. The bill for the establishment
of National Bank was not reported
in Congress until the 22d Of March,
did not reach Wilmington until the
9th, and consequently, from the ar
rangcmcnt of the mail, could not have
arrived at Dover before the evening
OF the 23,h Of March.
Having proved thus much, it would
be supcrhuous to expose the views OF
