to remark which some busy body reported me as bay
ing uttered when the President was assaulted on board
the Steamboat Sydney. Enquiries have also been made

Editor OF the Richmond Wing to inform him whether
am not the keeper Of grog shop in this place. By
sassin, &C. &C. These very harsh ephets to be APP
pied TO any man. and cannot remain silent under such
imputations as are daily cast out upon me.
The fact is that when the President was assaulted see
ing him stricken in years and enieebed by age thus NAL
treated aud abused, did, in moment of excitement

will pardon mel will be the death of him. or-are-

Chief Magistrate of his country.
