8ohn Reeves, Esq, then read the following
statement of a conversation between himself and
VIM. Burke, Esq, postmaster of this city
In a conversation which took place between
Judge Burke and myself, in presence of other
gentlemen, relative to the declaration made by
Senator Grundy against General Harrison, at the
Baltimore convention, in which Mr.. Grundy an
nounced that Mr.. Burke, post master at Cincin-
nata, was then present, and that he intended to
call upon him before he left, to attest the truth
of his statement, &c.
Judge Burke observed that Mr.. Grundy did
not call upon him, and that no opportunity was
offered him to make any statement on the subject,
which would have been considered in order, and
to be plain III the matter, he never knew any
committee attending General Harrison to the
post office, or authorised to receive his letters, or
vino did receive them; and that General Harri-
sons letters were delivered in the same manner
as letters Of other gentlemen And that he had
made no communication of different import TO
Mr.. Grundy, and he considered the issue exclu-
sively between the friends of General Harrison
and MIR. Grundy, and if they would confer with
him, and were not satisfied, then he would reply
himself. JOHN REEVES.
We, the undersigned, being present when the
above conversation took place between Judge
Burke and Mr. Reeves, believe it to be SULTAN
tally true.
