on the circu!ar-ths mny BE- task for another tim,
but simply to expose your reasoning Curtius an,
/ Your shallow Investigation Of truth.
You next proceed to account fer the causes of IN,

professional style 10 point out the dilonosticS An,
here Mr. Talialerro is broadly charged with hayinp

there was an son meeting in King George nj

Now, sir, making allowance for the oxarrcrntion,
OF mere repor'sthcn for the retail of them by the
enemies of Mr. Paliaterro and friends of Gen Jack
I'n' would ask, how his presiding Chairman Of
the artl-JaGison meeting could possibly spread tho
fever Of political excitement iorc than n1y te,, oe
sous IN the district" in the absence of oil proof orc
the assertions Of Curtius 70 BE- relied OH, would
mere remark that all who know Mr. TGafarro per
sonasy Know him to be man scrupulouslv obscryau,
OF all the conrtCsios Of ie-nevcr violent or inomcd
ny nInodcrdtc or mcmperate party zeal but ALWAYS
deioer"te even IN the midst of political fcrvor How
then can Your representation of him pouring ont
the phlas Of his wrath the head of Gen JacI,sor
bear relation: All who will give themselves the tro,
bio 10 pcrusc this part of your address Will detect hr
utter absurdty OF the charge and effectiveness Of tho

seeks To produce erroneous Impressions by knowjno-

INT however, Is the fact it existed on the othor
side? It is notorious that at the Jackso1 u,eet: in
hing George, the people we're addressed in a rantnm
and furious speech, by voccrous cIar2;or Of tho
