which he hii been 50 frequently urga by her
neighbors iddo. We have been informed al.
50, That she had praised similar coriuct re-
specting rert, before she became NJ. Kerr's
tenant. Mrs. Moulin is made to stab com
plant against MIR. Kfr. for having promised 70
give her time or accommodation for Inc third
quarters rent (; wiiout knowing adv thing
from that genilemalon the subjective state
as our opinion, and'elieve it will bdthousht
so by most people, lat the three mulhs civ
en- by the note, waa very liberal atcom,no-
dalton as to time, rtlcularly as it embraced
not only the Sd, bfthe jst and 2nd 'quarters
also.
Mr.. Adams havs stated to Gen. Van Ness
at one Of his int ws, " that he never in
tended Ia pay dlar in money for that wo-
man." is {, efficient nfhs motives: he
did not suppose at Mr.. X. would press the
responsibility, byetiing his name on mole.
pay able at somepecifpd time, but that Mr.
*. would be satied with Mrs. AS note. saw
ing that he woI be answerabI~. Had Mr.
X. been 81 SIM, the time for Mr. Adams 10
pay The M oney ever would arrive. Bar, -
Mr.. X. did nsis,n getting Mr.. AS nume, and
MIR. AS knowir(as il apprars) that this wo-
man was "A frme cOuvertr, and that her note
beirg nudity Iaw, s. as be thought he could
not he compelll to pay it. he endorsed il
and sure rnoue, when it became due, me did
claim exonerai,n on that ground. This is
the intended fncd thai Mr.. X. complains of.
and with eond 1asOn: and 10 he bul-d, "A
bused, ana deemed, as Mr.. K. was-adlin;,
insult to iniur-who wonld not complain un-
der simil,r cpul.stances ? Mr.. Adams and
his SUPPORTS may apply eIeciioneering view:
10 this ttaractIon to weaken its effect at !,
distance int 1t has nothing of apoiiical ma
ture in 4, It's plain question of right ans
wrong nry done on one side s. redress look
I'd lor]o tie Other. Mr. K never introduced
the mare ii Mrs. Adams in ,be papers unit
Mr. Alaf first done so and we feel SATISFIED
thath WOULD not have done so had he mo-
been oTpeiled.
II iaYery natural for Mr.. X. TO suppose
(alibnS II IS much objected to) not KNOWING
,be :onexion existing between Mr.. A. ana
3rs. Npulton, that, if he had to pay the note
he Wild not be a loser, particularly rs he ha,
obsetd that Mrs. A. owed her an account
As the great claim for charity and benevo
lens on the part of Mr.. Adams, and the Ell
fofo throw odium on Mr.. Kerr, we have M
dbi, If the private acts Of both were full,
pwD, that Mr.. Kerr would go far ahead OF
3. Adams. We never understood Mr.. A. ia
Z noted as very charitable man, and his
riends never before claimed il for him and il
his transaction is what they build on, tbci,
oundaion is bad for it was to have been done
t Mr.. KS expence. Ifyou will take one hal
he amount, and look to that woman for the
'ther half, will now settle it, was the pro
'osition of &r. Adams. No matter how Mr.
Nerr was to gettb other half from Mrs. NJ.
" distress or otherwise only let him of
rom one half. This is strange kind of chart
y. 1t Mr.. Kerr be that hard hearted. unre
entIng man which Mr.. Adams's pensioner
epreseni, Mr.. A. ought not To have left i, i,
us power 20 distrain second time. Thi
effort to gain credit for human,t,
will not do the webb is Too thin not to BIZ seei
through.
Mrs. Moulton speaks Of note receive,
rom Mrs. Adams, which if she were nj Iibert,
to publish, would place her cslump;..ur i
such light as would give full consolation Il
ner Mrs. NJ feelings, SIC. This is clolhe,
with mystery: Mr.. X. ought not To take il I,
for he never has 20 our kn,vleJg
or even insinuated n disresprei
Tul sentiment Of that lady. We cannot sun
pose that Mrs. A. would de- scend from her higl
station to Writ 10 this woman in = strain a
invecIive against 1r. X. without any Jus
grounds, merely to crafty her feelings vet
bears that construction, and if Mrs. & has 9
done, she has let herself down indeed. II
clear the matter from all ambieui,v. we re
spectfully request Mrs. A. 10 give permission 1
that woman TO publish the said moi, and "
also call on Mr.. A. To publish all that he ba
