i"Se, utterly ialse," by way OF more certainly,
proving what would have the public believe.
W.T. apo says he transferred his "ageneV bust.

oue "ise business on commission, who knew
nothing of this alleged transfer Of his agency and
who regarded HIM their agent until reeen, Je veI-
opments. Now, Mr.. Tabb very well knows and
knew from the first, that the only Difficulty bs,,y.o
US h"d exclusive reference to the validity Of this as
s'gnment. As soon informed of the asS;snp,on,
by MIR. Tabb felt convinced that AZ !, haS In'

be tested That MIR. Tabb knew this N he a.,
only OBJECT from the first, is, think clearly mfr,
eoIe from his own statement; but fortunately or
fortunately as II may be- this is not left 10 mere in
lerenee.-Mr. Tabb applied TO Mr. Jones TO fur
nish him statement Of the par.culars in ,yh;h e.
recollection accorded with the facts as given hy me
Mr Jones accordingly furnished n statement 10 Nj

nisiortunes." DeemIng 1t the best evidence the
ca admits OF, have procured copy of this state
'nent, made by MIR Jones at MIR Tabb's solicitation
"hu annex u, mat may be seen whether my for
picture"
ferheps II may be thought unreasonable TO conn
PLAIN, that MIR. Tabb, while presenting the public
WIN inc iacts oil the case, did not state that the
clerk OF the Circuit Superior Court does moi osrec
win MN IN his statement OF what occurred in court
ana therefore refused to give him n statement ~
mat effect, although requested by MIR. Tahb to do
sos and that he also applied 10 the Deputy Clerk for
statement, and was informed that he could NOT
give one materially variant from the one had given
anu therefore none was got from him. These re-
lerences to the clerk and deputy are made with
their knowledge and consent ""
Mr. Idbb says in his first piece TO the public thu,
ne was OF II loss TO know the design Of The anonv

oenver my message, which was previous 10 any
explicit intimation of "he design
Mr. Tabb seems to think it impossible for me IN
satisfy The Public that did not have notice of his
| sons attack upon me. Suppose, ior MIR Tabb,s
cohsolatlOn that had notice, OF the mos, exnlic,
KIND, days prior 10 the aItack-does il chance The

gular IN his opinion thus implied, that man can de-
reno himself from an attack made by a person who

continues striking him until by the interfe,encs

In conclusion, would say, that MIR Tabb,s de-
sire that this whole subject should be submitted IN
inc impartial umprage of the law" will proba blv
DE grained. The circumstances attending the M
TACK on me by his son, have already, without anv
agency OF mine, been made the subject of judicial
cognizance. and the validity of his alleged transfer

sorting TO every measure, legal and equitable. for
