slant contains another communication from the author
OF the Critlque which requires reply from Veritas
after which unless driven toit by stern necessity he
begs permission to take leave OF that venerable oen
tleman. Vertas did not intend to enter into a news
paper controversy with any one and certainly had no
other object IN view than prompt denial of charges
Affecting the character of The ancestors of more than

almost deems 1t unchartasie TO ask the venerable
gentleman, whether or not motive OF gratitude to
