2apresentatives, in explanation of their
nodest claims to represent us two years
M much regret our inability to give the

Ne SoIemnlv aver, that if any one of

II We we're very near getting an honest

These herocs are in bad taste. because

been published which was learned in this

Whew! how magnifcently the Colonel
writes? Peter Farley ought to preserve

But seriously-does the Colonel deny that

(Swindler's libels.n A note is added,
which gives this a particular direction.
Il seems that one Of these misrepresented,
confidential communications was held
with a refugee from justice. Keep better
company in future, Colonel-at least, don't
make confidants of such people.)
