which religion itself, divesed OF the cant Oh Pu'
ritanical zeal. would censure. There was some
thing ridiculous in the story that billiard Ia
BILE was purchased for6fty dollars. There were
different tales propagated as to the cost, and al

led me to The conclusion asserted. II is posi-

house in 1914. there has not been billiard Ia
bile in that establishments Iwish II however TO
be distinctly understood, that | have no such

such confidence in his statement, as to place a.

sources, have drawn my conclusions as 70 cha'

And first, Of The last. The communication
commences with stating that the Gazelte .WoS

of that fact. And when il is added, IN eonuec-
ton with this, 81 hare not read The persona" a.

these Dersoaal ati,tcks'' from the reading o.
Mr.. Green. Never was any thing more uh-
founded.

course with any of Them "Coreful," as he pre-
tends to be, in the selection Of facts,' he can
have no certain authority for the assertion here
made, and the scandalous inference II includes
and was intended to convey. Thus much Tor
the first entrance of the communication.
In the commencement Of the the third para

is equally false and impudent.
In the Telegraph Of the 9Th OF March, when
Mr.. Green's name had Eeyer been sped IN the
Gazette, he thus spoke OF me, IN ar editorlal
article: at was there that he met with Charles
Hammond, Esq the Ohio Federallst, the sup
porter Of the alien and seditlon laws, and the
black cockade administration, blue light Hart
ford Conventionist in principle, who reJoiced
in our losses, and mourned over our victories,
who insulted our uniform and was caned tor II,
who denounced Mr.. Adams as an apostate, and
Mr. Clay as rarling demagoSue"

tanned my ma jority when the administration oil
the elder Mr.. Adams ended, though my ]uVe-
nile impressions were favorable 10 IT, FOR '1e
rest Of these accusations, they are tissue oil
shameful falseheods. And he who, without
provoca alton, embodied and published them, has
the impudence to tell me, nave no J"S'y'u0'e
cause for dSsait0g him."
Nor is il in this instance alone, that my name
has been banded in the Telegraph with terms OF
reproach, avowedly Editorial. Besides which,

and the Advertiser, attacking me personally, have
been repubished in the Telegraph 1t his

Green?

and the following terms are used: with view
TO effect this laudable object meeting OF MS
friends was convoked at Columbus, in Ohio, he
attended in person, he was in town, and another
bulletin was issued =
This meeting was held, during the sitting OF
The federal court. Mr.. Clay was there IN the
practice of his profession. He did not attend
the meeting lie took no part with respect 20
it; on the contrary he kept alooff from the Poh'l-
