SYNOPSIS Of discourse delivered by |
Gol BOYD at Woodville in this State.
il states, in substance that Col.
BOYD had loaned "certain wings OF
I.owndes coraty, the sum OF $4,000
TO prevent the sacrifice OF a certain
buildine, erected for them for the pur-1
pose of a Female Academy.
That Cot. Boyd was dciaulter to
the General Government we knew,
and that he should feel great mpa' |
tiencc to extepuate his deialcaton,
lis what we couldreadhy suppose. But
We could not have believed that any
motive could have tempted Col. Boyd
to aloptauy fraudulent means. Or de-
scenI to any dislngenions artillce toi
vindicate his reputation.
A becoming respect for ourselves,
las men, and 4 solemn sense OF duty
as .'rustees and Guardians q the
{, College, require us to say that the
statement Of Col. Boyd IS utterly un-
tn1c. and that al no time nor n'ldcr
anu circumstances, has Col. Boyd
loaned rs one dollar for the purpose
.'aHedrod, nor for any other purpose
s. Whatevet.
1t would certainly greatly alleviate
: thc weight Of public censure # the
t Colonel could show that his default to
! TO the amount Of $4,000 could lie
. placed to the credit Of his generous
Il and benevolent feelings in the cause
/ Of Female Education. This is the
: only apology, impotent as i is, which
-IAis best friends can make for his dis
;. ingenious conduct.
!. ltmay be. however, that the Colo
). incl thought tie discourse he delivered
/. woald pass "Sub 9leacio," or would
C not travel beyond the little village O
Is its nativity; and as such, neither the
/. feelings or reputation Of others woulc
be affected by it. We hope, howey
+ cr. that the Colonel viii be admonish
n ed by DIFFERENTIATION that has been q
5. ven to his address, never again to ven
I'd ture upon the publication Of a Sian
10 der under the decisive hope that
T. may never reach the parties affected
