collected but Two dollars oi his money In my
life, aud we'll does hc know no. the money was
spent, but If he does not recolleet any thing a.
bout IL, I would Nh him TO apply 10 his jour

Under the above mentioned contemplated
par tnership, asuper-royai printing presswas con-
dtionally purchased. but possession Of the
sau.e WINS never asked Tor by me. GILLIAN,
without my knowledge or consent. advertised
the press fof sale IN his name and nine. I'm
meGaiely after tins was called upon 10 make
arrangements for payment never did of
fer TO dispose oil the piefs, yet was ealled
upon 10 ray Tor 1t. Was GIlliam harrnssed
here? No, lwas.
Agan, this poor excuse advertised for rent
two trurments, one of which we rented Of Mr. !
Benz. r. Hunt. The house rented Of Mr. Hunt
was renird by Gillian, 10 Mr. Rumbongh OF
this place, aud Tor the rent OF which he (Gii. |
lam re ceived part OF the money for his own
use in advance, and charged Mr.. Rnmbough |
to pay the balance TO one OF his creditors, and
moi to Mr. Hunt, the man from whom the ten
enent was rented and 10 whom the money was
Justly due. Does this moi show in pari the i'm
proprlely ofthe man II II does mol, am lnisia-
ken.
So soon as Mr. Hunt was made acquainted
wth his situation concerning The rent, he i'm
mediately called upon me for the money told
him did not have il then but thai would get |
il for him in few weeks. This did not suit |
the convenience OF Mr. II. and forthwith he
called upon a lawyer TO bring suit against me |
for the recovery OF the same, but the gentleman |
did not do it. This will doubtless be conside-
rated as another harrassmen and for the cor
rectness ofthe above statement, am fully |
prepared TO adduce evidences OF the most IN. |
controvertible character.
As regards Mr.. Giliiam's ATTEMPT to Willy
my character. must say, as comment upon
his pit,Gul publication, that more wonderful
combination Of actual iasehoods was never in
my humble opinion exhibited TO the view of a
discerning and intelligent people but this will
leave for the people themselves to judge.
Sorry, indeed, am |, that have been COM
PEELED to contend in the public papers with such
a mao as Albert NJ. Gillian and will here
say, il he should eve, write again, shall treat
his publication as the production OF a person too
contemptbet 10 neri, the notice of gentleman,
or any more from the eye Of the world than
suspicious glance.
