l. Did you not, before the 2Jh Of Msrrh
past receive letter from a certain ipdiyid,s,

which you framed your queries addressed To ne

worthy men, against whom an enemy never

To the lot enquiry we answer, that we di1
not before the 25h of March, or since
until within a week past, receive letter from
any individual in lbe town Of Nashville, cor
tanning one word IN relation TO the delalcatcs
OF the State Bank Of Tennessee. This denial Vi
course embraces the 2d and 80 queries also
TO the 4lh enquiry, we reply. that we have
never been advised by any gentleman OF Nash
vile, or elsewhere, to withdraw the charges
implied in the Queries which, in Mach last. we
addressed to the Editor of the Nashville, Re-
publican.
The 9th and OH queries are copied merely
because we do not wish TO omit any thing 10
the shape Of a cdiscbism which has been ar
dressed 10 US by ,he iocum teneny Of the Nash
vile Editor and not because we intend t.
reply to them. They are unworthy of any
other notice but that which ali men who has-
any respect for themselves pay to bGckguard,
whom public opinion has placed so low as iy
be the objects OF mr,h. pity or contempt 10
those whom they assail win thsr vulgar rita

The assertions intended to be conveyed in iur
lst, u add Sd Queries oil the Republican. "
so'emnly affirm, are absolutely and uagua',
iedly false. That implied in the 9Th, has u.
other foundation, than this: that, within To-
course Of the last week, ore of the Editors
received n letter from gentleman in Nash
VILE writieR on other business, bat incidentally
aludngto what the writer faceiiously styled
our scrape' with the Republican. The
writer o T ribs letter, we know, tgoS an Adams
man. at one period but Of his political oPn-
ions nolU, we are wholly ignorant. That gen
teman says, Hear you have been imposed
upon by some person IN or near this place
Cnlil | am convinced OF the contrary, | shall
believe hiatt the facts were furnished by come
mau whose prejudices control better head
We here repeat, most Soiealuig, that this Is the
only line that we have ever received from lit'
State Of Tennessee having any relaiion 10 this s'J
Ject, Aud really, it appears to us, 20 be pii!i
