~ THE foregoing advertisement is calcu-
lated, and was 10 doubt intended, to impose
gross falsehood upon the public, for reasons
which the young man who wrote it can best ex-
plain. There is no money due upon any of the
bonds mentioned in the deed Of trust alluded TO-
l have repeatedly solicited, but in vain, a final
adjustment and close of that whole tS9naacsion,
ana have made frequent propositions fkubmt-
ting to dIsintercsted persons the xafniHstion of
incontcstlble vouchers which 1 have 10 prove
the payment of every cent due from nc for the
purchase OF Buckhill. Those vouchers may be
at any time exhibited to such as may feel into
rest enough in the affair to take the trouble of
calling at my dollhouse to see them.

FHNHE above advertisement directing sale
Il 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 could be malicious enough to
impose gross falsehoOd upon the public, am
unable, at this time, to determined can as
sure him that it was not spirit Of revenge or
retaliation which promptedthe course which
lhave taken. In answer 10 the assert0h that
there is no money due upon any of Sc bonds
mentioned in the Deed Of Trust aliudA to, >"
] viii barely remark, that as IL respeA the
Bonds placed in the hands of Mr.. a. VIZ Trent
and myself, for collection, and for Any thing
That Col. Mayo has ever produced to US there
appears to be a considerable balance still due
land If am correctly informed, two other
bonds secured by the Deed Of Trust, are now
III the possession Of gentleman Of this place,
INV iNi'tAlil G ~ w ttottlal httls HE AOiD-
mel states that lac has III vain solicited an adj
justment Of this olaim-for a more complete
answer to this assertion, than any thing which
could say, ] must refer to bis well known
promptnCss upon such occasions In the
course which we have pursued, we have been
actuated BY no other motive than that, dicta-
ted by sense Of duty to our client--but for
bear 20 say more upon this subject,--for had
no more respect for age, than Col. Mayo
appears to, have for truth and decorum, ]
would unfold to the world a full history OF
this transaction, which would place him IN a
situation not the more cnviable for Being be-
reit e all those traits which distinguish the
honor able man.
