We presume that tie assertion, contained 10 the
above paragraph extracted from your paper Of Fri
day last, has reference TO one of us we believe
we are the only wooden manufacturers in this Vi.
cihty. Should we be mistaken in this supp0stl0n
you have it in your power to correct this mistake
Under the Impression, however, that your para
graph is intended to refer to one OF the underslgn.
ed. we unequlsocally declare, that the assertion,
that neither OF Us "has laid in stock Of wool 70.
two wears consumption." is utterly and totally
without foundation. Under the same impression
we feel ourselves authorised to request you to state
the particular object Of your assertion. and the
name of your informant. Our right to demand TINS
information. no man will deny. when he considers
most injurious and hostile prejudices, in the minds
OF large portion Of the community. against US. 70

country, by identifying US with those whom you
have been pleased to designate as the " over grown
vultures Of the East, and duplicating Us with them,

specializing upon, and overreachlns the farmer anu
WOOL grower. Whether you are advancing me
cause Of the manufacturers, of which You profess
to be friend, or the interests Of your calntry Ds
drawing an invldious distinction between the ~,
terest of the farmer and the manufacturer, anu
placing them in hostile array against each other,
not for us, but the people Of this country to decide
We repeat, that the assertion you have mace,
far as it relates to either of and We Delle'c
TO any other wooden manufacturer in this vicinity
is utterly untrue. All the wool we have now on
hand, is not more than sufficient for three moh'n'
consumption in the two establishments; ana We
are not aware Of any indictment held out oy 'no
tariff now pending, which would justify or ebGou'
rage Us to embark in any speculation N wool
We request you TO publish this communication u
Your paper, that the contradiction il contains may
have circulation co extensive with the asseflOH
that called it forth.
