Mn. BLAIR: Ihave read with no little
surprise. a statement in a reported
speech of MIR. lngham, made TO his
friends IN Bucks county, Pa. since
his return home-in which he throw ;
out some imputations against me, in
his late difference with Major Eaton.
lnsinuations Of this kind had been pre-.
viously made by an anonymous writer,
which deemed unworthy of notice;
but coming now from the late Secre-
tary of the Treasury, who, no doubt,
has been misinformed. deem il a du
~ which | owe to myself. to contra
dict them, and will further say, that |
never had any hostility to MIR. Ing.
ham. but was at peace with him. aud
never harbored thought to harm him.

To the Editor Of the Globe
DEAR SIR MIR. Ingham. in his al +.
dress ut the Bear Tavern, i'm Bucks
county. Pennsylvania, speaking of Ma
jor Eaton, says he "had been, for the
greater part Of the time. stationed in
u grocery store about half q square
from my lodging, during which il was
occasionally visited by Mr.. Randolph,
and by Mr.. Pan Kleeck, another
Clerk in the War Department., who
appeared to act the part Of videttes.,
This statement, SO far as | am con-
cerned, feel il my duty to myself,
and the religious society with which l
am connected, to pronounce utterly
untrue. 1 assert most solemnly, that
Major Eaton was never visited By me
at grocery store, as is represented
by Mr.. lngham. l declare, ccordiny
to the best of nv recollection that |
never saw Major Eaton from Saturday
the 18th. until late in the evening o.
Monday, when | casually saw him at
the house Of friend, period embrac
ing the controversy in question.
further declare, that l had not the
slightest agency or participation in
that controversy, and that 1 never had
any intimation from Major Eaton, or
any OF his friends. that he wished or
expected me to take any part in il.
Very respectfully.
