son meeting did not Commence till cundtc'

ing as Mr. X, says, 1t looks Ueyy unI'kety,
nor would any man in his common sen.
ses come TO that conclusion. But not
| wirhstandng all these unlikely things
staring Mr. r. in The face, he sul claims
one third of the II. meeting 10 be friends
OF Nj. V. B.; ladmit there we're some few
thlre, perhaps 81 and no more, or a; least
no more made themselves known, but
what their object was, in tending can
not say, but MIR r. says it was dmuSe
meat, and one would have supposed il
was amusement from their conduct.
Alter saying great many things
which probably ticked his own ear, Mr..
r. uses the following language, "many
OF them (meaning The friends of Gen.
II } shave repeatedly told me, that Mill.
tary Chiellains we're unfit for civil pow
era Itis more than likely the gentle
man has forgotten himself, perhaps these
are the very arguments he himself used
against Gen, jackson in 1928, while he
(Mr X was a warm supporter of Mr..
Adams; but finding himself connected
with party who refused 10 TeDd'd him
for his services, left them and attached
himselft to that party whose CREED is 10
re,Dard partisan services.
ln speaking Of Gen Harrson's military
career, Mr. r. says, ''many heavy regi.
ments under him were cat TO pieces by
feeble foe," and that "Harrison's own ex.
hibtions Of personal bTave'y, are like
angels visits few and far belween."-
Whether MIR X. was actuated by lOpe Of
truth in penning that sentence | cannot
say, but his best friends doubt it, one
thing is evident he either stated what he
knew was contrary TO truth, OF he was
gnorant of his country's history.
Let us now examine the 2 nduceme ent
TO scribhIe in the public prints, which is
to enlighten The public mind. On this
subject | IAay nol be competent Jud ga,
u |, "a we'll as all those--with whom
have conversed conclude that, If casllng
light before The public was his motive, he
has utterly failed, that it is total dbOr.

that Mr. Rs. reference 10 Mr. v. BIS. be.

may cause the people to inquire wha his
views upon the night OF suffrage were 1t

keeping out Of the hands of the people

that the Dltite man should be denied the
right OF voting unless he was house hold
er; thus deprivIng large and respectable
proportion oil The citizens of the rights of

MIR r. say away with it.
Thus it is easily perceived that Mr. r.
was neither actuated by motive to "cor
rect falsehoCd, )" nor ''enligh!en the public
mInd"-in writing his communication;
then let US see if he was actuated to show
himself HSmdrt man." ifthe want ola

One word and have done; whether
Mr. r, is cincere (sincere) in calling the
friends of Harrison modern Abselums
(Absaoms) cannot say, but it is very
likely were they TO start out hunting asses
they would not be compelled to travel
farther than Point Pleasant to catch
one. Now whether Ior Mr. r will meet
with al overthrough (overthrow) no one
can tel (telD but expect defeat wken he
advances with his greatful (gra:efuD and
heavy rigements (regIments). The above
is only few of the many Instances in
which he has failed 10 conform with the
rules of photography, the first thing

Seeing therefore he has failed on eve'

to cease scribbling for paper, at least
till he learns 10 spell,
