TO THE PUBLIC.

Few situations, perhaps, can he more annoying 10
those who value the good opinion of honest anu non
orabc men, then beng compelled TO notice the Sian
deIs and maledicons of individuals who utterly bn
and worthless In themselves, yet elevated, by
sIngularly unfortunate concurrence ofcircumstanccs
TO station which gives them some consequence in
the estimation of persons unacqIaintcd with their
dPrDdcnbie and inerpTeSsibie intd1y." Such is INV
cuse. My own name has been somewhat unccrcmo-
niously laid before the community "by the infamous"
Duff Green through the columns of that foul disgrace
To the Americana Press, the United States Telegraph.
Were this man so well known to all among whom his
paper cIrculates TO those who have resided even
Tor short time IN his vicinity, whether in the west
crn states or at w ashington and more particularly TO
those who have been connected with him in business
or politics, should feel under no necessity of con-
tradcllng any thing which no might say or PUBLISH
for under such circumstances, snoud consider the
allegations OF DyD Green Of equal importance with
those OLA convict IN any of our pententiarics Moro
particularly should shrink from any thing which
implied any equality between him and myself or which
could bring ms maine and mine IN juStaposOn before
the pubic for as DpgeFbcrry says, them that touch
es pitch must surely be dcflcd, So should deem
such association OF names as profitable my own MS
would be similar association with that of p common
thief or pick-pOcket. Duff Green. Of himself is in
deed too low, too degraded, to deserve any notice
from those who can offer any claims to private rcspec-
liability. In the city which has the misfortune TO nnm-
Der nm among her inhabitants hc is deeply condemned
as politician aud man and admitted by few vorv
few Of its reputable citzons to any other intimacy
, than The necessities OF business may require
But DIT Grecn, through the most unfortunate
vote that was ever given by any House Of Rcprcsen
tatycs, has been elevated TO a station TO which IN
decd, he Is dcp'oraby Incompetent, and which also
hc dcrloraby dlsgraces, but which among hose who
arc unacquantcd with the full measure ofhis infan,v
may pass Tor evidence Of his having some claims 10
responsibility Such is my apology for clhdcscendinV
