THE TRUSTEES.
November II, 1911. tbs
~" THE foregoing advertisement is caicu-
lated, and was no doubt intended, to impose a
gross falsehood upon the public, for reasons
which the young man who wrote il can best ex-
plain. There is no money due*hpon $ssS of the
bonds mentioned in the deed Of trux alluded to.
have repeatedly solicited, but in Vim, final
adjustment and close of that whoiestfansaction,
and have made frequent propositions of submit
ting TO disintcrestcd persons the examination of
incontcstible vouchers which have, 10 prove
tho payment of every cent due from me for the
purchase of Buckhll. Those vouchers may be
at any time exhibited to such as may feel inte-
rest enough in the affair to take the trouble of
calling at my Toulouse to see them.
Ishall in due time apply to the proper tribu-
nal to compel surrender of those bonds as well
as of the deed Of trust

YTNIIE above advertisement directing sale
n of Buck-Hill, and which is alluded to by
Col. John Mayo in the foregoing paragraph,
was written by me and left at the Argus Of
fee for publication. Why Col MAYO should
suppose that i could be malicious enough TO
impose gross falsehsod upon the public, / am
unable, at this time, to determine--I can as
sure him that it was not spirit of revenge OF
retaliation which promptedthe courec which
/ have taken. In answer to the assertion that
there is no money due upon any oftt bonds
mentioned in tho Deed of Trust Alluded to- .
j will barely remark, that as Trcsbccts the
Bonds placed III the hands Of NIL T-.."frent
and myself, for collection, and for/any thing
that Col. Mayo has ever produce6to us there
appears to be considerable balance still due
Js~and if ! am correctly informed, two other
bonds secured by the Deed Of Trust, are now
i'll the possession o. a gentleman Of this place,
anu remain yet 70 DC discharged. The Colo
mel states that he has in vain solicited AN adj
justment of this claim-for more complete
answer to this assertion, than any thing which
i could say, must refer to his well known
| promptncSs upon such occasions. In the
course which We have pursued, we have been
! actuoted by no other motive than that, dicta-
ted by 4 sense Of duty to orr client--but ! for
beSr TO say more upon this subject,--for had
no more respect for age, than Col. Mayo
appears to have for truth and dccorum,
would unfold 20 the world a full history Of
this transaction, which would place hum in A
situation not the more cnviabic for being be.
rcft of all those traits Which distinguish the
honorable man.
