The foregoing evidences establish the facts. that
one part OF Doct. Bramhams first deposition varies
from another part, TO the causes of nv declninn
the practice of physc and quitting Abcmnrle; his
own letter, dated fire years after nv settlement in
Albemarle suostani lily contradicts the whole tenor
OF his subsequent depositions And the lottnrr ~,
Mr.. Jefferson and Gov. Barbour give the lie direct
to that part of his deposition which SAYS that before

respect of all who knew If these contradictions

that Mr. John ID. Rhodes deposition states that Doct
BraInham expressed sympathy to him for me- and
regret for the peculiar notifications he had known
me have to endure.-But subsequent events prove
that this revival short-lived. ! suppose thu,
some kcener vitied friend soon admonished him that
after what he had been known to say and do against
me, 1t would be safer for himself if he would ion in
accomplishing my entire overthrow, than yield TO lust
