turned round from the front door towards his
window, and said you meant no such thing; but
that yon would now say that he was a man
of law; for that he opened his Office only when
the law obliged him, and shut il as soon
as the Law woald permit him TO do So Mr..
Bryan continued with increased warmth to saw
il wasan ungentlembnly insinuation, and thar
he would not permit such in his Office. When
you told Mr.. 3. that his conduct on the rFesent

there were some pamphlets for me, which he

said The postage for the two taken would be ten

recent indisposition--of which you meanIy and
cowardly took sdvsutsge-protecte you from
the personal chastlsement which your unwar
rantsd and ignoble behavior merited. Yours,
DANIEL BRYAN.
