Ma. WARREN,
Having heard that certain toasts given by
DR.. Langwortly, and perhaps others, at Alton,
on the 4th inst. which were intended to cast
unmerited imputation upon me, are to be pub
lished in your paper ofto-morrow, beg leave
to apprize my fellow citizens, that those insi
dious attacks of former opponents, which are
intended to mean much, without specifying
any thing, relate exclusively to the discharge
ofm duty as counsel in late criminal pro.
secution in this county.
The prosecution being still depending, it
would be improper to make any remarks upon
it, at present. AS soon, however, as it shall
be decided, I shall hold myself ready to de-
monstrate that no part of my conduct, on the
occasion alluded to, has been such that any
honorable man who can correctly appreciate
the sacred principles of our constitution, and
the solemn obligations of an advocate, can just
ly object to-
I give to Doct. Langworthy, in particular,
fair notice that shall, in due season, invite
him to meet me in public, face to face, to de.
fend his own conduct, and to specify and sup
port all and every charge which he can make
against me. IF he wish to sustain the charac.
ter of fair and honorable opponent, it is due
to such pretensions, that he should notify me
of the particular grounds upon which lie has
thought proper to assail me.
In whatever public station may have to act,
shall always endeavor to discharge my duty
with honor, fidelity, independence, and as far
as possible with advantage to the public, trust
ing to an approving conscience, and to the
impartial decision of my fellow citizens.
DANIEL +. COOK.
