rT The opponents of this distinguish
ed citizen, becoming alarmed at his in
ereasing popularity, are resorting to the
most bare.taced fabrications to detract
from his we!l-earned fame. The charge
of his voting to sell poor debtors into
slavery, having been satisfactorily refu-
ted, they have now started another, ae-
cusing him of "wantoRly burning Mo.
ravian town in Canada, with all their
provisions, and that, but for the humani-
ty of Com. Perry, in furnishing them
with flour, they must have persisted with
hunger"
