A0 ll1A- I bItG. l claim indulgence ofmy fellowcItlzens for laying before them the following correspondence. in rea- ton to misunderstanding which happened few months past between the Hon. William R. King and myself, and which that Hon. gentleman has so garbled and shaded to persuade some unsuspect. ing persons that he has throughout the whole affair been exempt from blame
 To his other distinguished qualities of great man he has labored to add that of brdre one; and il has been my lot to detect the imposter, duty to my self and others, requires, that should strip him o his borrowed titles, and exhibit him to the world skuiking corard
 In the first act of this unpleasant affair Mir King played off the bully with some grace, and held forth to all who heard him. the idea that he would meet me, and give that satisfaction, winch bound to expect, from the boasted use of his sword cane.- When called upon, however for the mode and mea- sure of redress he scrupulousy shuns the question, and takes refuge behind his Congressional dignity in the vain belief that my character is not of sufh- clen grade, to justify any notice from distinguish ed an individual as himself
 Without pretending to decide upon the merits of so preposterous act of great man'S life, shall submitthe following correspondence and documents to unbiased public, in proof ofwhat my acts have been, and how they estimated in both the States where have resided, by men intimately acquainted with me- and who are probably the best judges of what is due to the standing of one whom they have known for many ye,rs through evil well as through good report.
