Mr.. GRAHAM. We copy from the New
York Enquirer Of the 2 5th instant. at the par
ticular request OF a friend, the following defence
offered TO the memory Of that i'll fated gentleman
II is lii reply to a shameful, a foul, and most ma
lignant attack, made upon his memory, by the
editor ola public ne wspaper printed in this to w
the name of which, we purposely,and for delica-
cy's sake omit TO mention.
"Good Society'''-In a late number Of tho
Providence *&***** a letter is published,
purporting 10 be written from this city, in which
the character of the late Mr.. Graham is pour
trayed in a manner which stamps its author as
a cowardly defamer Of the dead, and a disgrace
to the society Of the iiving-and tho Editor Of
the Providence *******s, who could allow
the memory of an unfortunate young man, who
had never harmed him, to be SO vilified and
outraged, has no claim to tho character of a
gentleman or a man Of feeling. TIL writer of
the letter in question alludes to Mr.. Graham in
the following terms:-
"He fed from this city, New York; 1922,
and fled from England for another crime-ex-
actly what, | have not ascertained. He was a
bad man. his habits were shocking. Stunned
by the %virtuous and the good and by the eIe-
waited ranks Of society, his life was . burtheu
to him."
To stamp the above at once with the char
acter of falsehood il merits, Mr.. Graham ien
this country during the late war, and could
not at that timo have been over IL years Of
age. He fled for no crime. At On age so early.
and q youth at college, he was doubtless ac-
countable for many acts Of folly, OF levity; prob
ably faults, for which the thinking and honor
able would always find some excuse; and which
none but the malignant would magnify Into
crimes. 1t is also false, that he fed from En-"
gland for any crime-he was in correspondence
with many respectable men in that county,
and no prejudicial reports reached us in QUE
two years acquaintance with him. II is also
false, that he was a bad man: he had gener-
Gus and kind feelings-his habits were no fur
Their shocking than a fondness for convivial
pleasures, which he INDUCED in as a gentleman
will do, sometimes too freely. II is also false /,
that he was Stunned by the ~virtuous and the
good. He was a welcome guest wherever he
went.
The following paragraph from the sume let
ter, will probably exhibit more fully tho malig-
nant motives Of the writer. II doubtless ema-
mated from some Of those pismircs Of " good
society,"" that poor Graham brushed rather
too fiocly out Of his way.
"He had education, and he felt it talents,
and he valued them; but tho deep stain on his
carly history forever precludcd his assoc'ating
with that class Of society TO which his acquire
ments would otherwise have given him access
Hence the origin Of the articles on "Goou 90
