oelng In " Hlghgate." Where Highgate is
situated / do not know; but it is very GER
tain that the Morgan, concerning whom |
wished information, is in Milford, Pennsyl-
vania. He left here as soon as his engage.
ment expired, under pretence of going to
Hudson, where he said he had school in
waiting Tor him. He did not 60 there, how
ever, but made his way through New-Jersey
TO Milford, where he was seen few DAYS
since, BY MIR. Francis Wallace, of this vii
lage. Mr.. Arson and Mr. Hawley, who
claim to be the father and brol!.er-in~,,dyy Of
MIR. Morgan, were at my house, the next
day after he left here, in pursuit of him /;
but were not able to find him. wrote to
Mr.. Hawlev Immediately after the reception
OF your letter, requesting a description of
the Morgan whom you described in your
letter; but he, fHawley) being fearful that
1 would communicate his information to
Mr.. Morgan, went Immediately to lawyer,
through whose enquiries it reached Mr..
If it be true that Mr.. Morgan, Dancing
Master, is at "Highsate," it is true that be
is not the one who was here, and probably
true that one or other Of them is innocent
Of the charges alleged. 1t therefore behooves
us to be sure before we speak, lest we in
Jure the haracter of an innocent and per-
chance a vrtuous man. (1.) Mr.. Morgan
betrayed no signs of guilt while here and
indeed, so far as has come under my own
observation, his department was scrupulous-
ly correct; and were it not for the fact that
he dissembled about the place to which he
was going when he left here, l should be-
lieve him innocent, and as it is, dare not
pronounce him gully. (21
perceive that your paper is of religious
characters fact with which | was not ac-
qualnted when l wrote to you and from
Its peculiar caste l infer that it may be pos
slble that we may disagree in reference to
the virtue of Professor of Music and
Dancing in any case. Ii is so common
with a portion OF the professed Christian
community to denounce dancing, and those
who teach it, iii the viiest terms, and on all
occasions, that | am still constrained 10
doubt, whether your statements are the re-
suit OF actual knowledge, carefully weighed,
and judiciously examined before being
made public, or the effusion of sort of
strain at-a-g nat-and swallow-a-camep zeal
which was so justly reprehensible in the
Pharisees. But, be that as it may am
certain that have no other object in rela-
ton to this matter, than to shield The inuo-
cent and TO punish, without fear or favor
the UNANIMOUSLY guilty; and hope that no
other motive governs you. g.

"hich Il Is not pretended disagrees with
