Seriously, however this fine is only the winding up
of the last miserable effort of jealousy to destroy my
character reputation and popularity in this enthusias
tic community. The offence for which am punished
is not the publication of John Haggc. iy's name-it is
the crime for which Arstldes was banshed from
Athens-the helnous crime Of pure, spotless life
companied with talent and energy that is creating
social political, moral and mercantile revolution in
this city. The integrity and purity Of my life and
principles rs daily libel on the moral and political
degradation of the little great men of the day. have
crossed the tracks Of certain financers and their
corrupted press in Wall street. For one year and six
months every effort has been made to break down

in order to accomplish my ultimate ruin. But by sin

has not only increased my popularity and success,
but recoed on the heads Of my assailans with ten
fold epprobrum and scorn. The Webbs, the Ham
blins the Haggertys, have in vain attempted to init

public mind against the purity and integrity Of my
character The fine of the Court of Sessions is the
