have no doubt bat all parties "deprecate" the be-
ginRng, progress, consummation, or revival OF the
affair of the complimentary Benefit gwen TO mr. Ham
blin and Gifts subsequent events have no doubt OF
it, 1t is very natural Yet truth must be told, and
each party ought TO have his just share in that affair
allotted to him. Ifyeu lose, divide the losses-h you
gain the profits This IS only justice. SO far as
know my own heart, have neither spark OF ma
levolencein my dsposition nor particle OF dread OF
any man orany combination OF men, that may choose
to make head against me. only wanted TO Know
the truth and to exculpate Mr. Hamblin as lar as the
truth warranted.
II is admitted by all that an important delibsra-
ton was held at Mr.. Bells dinner party, on the best
method of breaking sly ARM and that nay friend Mr..
Morris was ono of the consulting counsel though moi
the originator. II is, however, matter OF little con-
sequence what consultations took place on mat
occasion, or who the counsel, OF what skill and
science were developed in the debate Mr.. Haublsn
did not break my arm, and could not do it. The ana
tomcal demonstrations went forsnothng. Had ne
entered my Office alone such scientific expedition,
he never would have left it with his llfc Even as It
was during the anatomical struggle, had my hand
on my dagger and bat for his scientific companions,
who formed majority against nae on the vote,
woud have used it most eifectually ia making an
experiment on the spot
am glad however, that no such demonstration IN
anatomy took place. i am, naturally, of a benevo-
lent and friendly temper, and the idea OF beng the
death of fellow-creature even in my own defence,
or for the purpose of improving anatomical science,
would have destroyed the happiness of my whole
after life-a happiness which always have enjoyed,
and which l hope still to cnioy-a happiness that
springs from clear conscience, and good intentions,
and desire to be useful in my day and generation.
But this affair is termnated-lts science its expe
riments, its anatomy, and a-there let II rest. Mr..
Merits, Mr. Hambn, Mr.. Price, Mr. Locke, Mr.. Bell
and all who were engaged in that affair." have been
taught sanitary esson which hope they will re-
member to their advantage to their dying day. They
attempted check the liberty of an independent
press. Failing in that for IN every course have taken
this chvalrous community has sustained me, they
attempted to crafty feelings OF revenge IN violation Of
every law, and of every sentiment ofpropriety Hero
they were again baflcd, defeated, and SCI at naught
After the lapse Of proper time, (sinners and small
beer always require time to be puriedO they slowly
began their error, 10 repent to "deprecate the
affair al every stage" and in this disposition and em-
per OF mind cordially join them. They have at last
discovered that when free and Independent editor,
who knows his business, and never saw the man that
he feared-that when such man plants himselfupon
the great moral sentiments of an enlightened COM
munty, the opposition OF clique, or coterie, Is
weak as a rush against an eternal forest oak. What
has given me an advantage over Mr. Morris and Mr..
Hambn throughout this affair? Nothing but the just
sentiments Of just community. / am nolhing-a
frail beng-but in thct controversy became tho en-
bodment Of the elementary heart Of New York.
In closing these remarks, | can assure MIR. Ham
bln Mr.. Morris and all concerned, that they have
nothing to fear from me in future provided in all pub
lie matters they act proper and enlightened prin-
ciples freely, and from my heart, forgive all that
has taken place. wish them much happiness
much comfort. And thus the rise the progress and
minaon of this strange affair, may show the present
Wall street clique, that when they conspirc together
10 put me down, the probable issue will be their own
demolition and destruction. go for, and take with
me- the great COMMUNICATIVE world AT large, the big
public mind, the big public heart. / despise cligucs
either in politics or literature. They are weak and in
efficient.
The world 10 mine oyster,
which with sword tqnil will open.
