his bill 10 this office, and divers other small
bills ahnu, the city We ,rus, our brethren OF
the press will pu, the public on their guard.
Immediately on seeing the above in Charles.
ton, wrote the following note Ia the editor of
the Chronicle & Sentinel
CHARLESTON. July ii. IS4l.
Sir-lu yonr paper Of the 18th inst. have no.
ticed with astonishmen,, that you advertise me as
one runaway, because happened to leave with
out yonr permission, being in yonr debt. rs well
rs some others. few pallry dollars; forgetting
to mention That was unable 10 collect my
bills, ard had appointed an agent for ,l,at pur.
pose; that nigh, seek employment, elsewhere
in order to pay off my homes, creditors and leave
my honest debtors to pay when they ,rouid.
Does this argue well for dugusial Does this
sound well abroad, that You should thus stigma.
tise an Artist, who has been with you eight
months, endenvoring to pay his expenses by
every honest aeansl Had |, sir, taken with me
my goods and chattles and collected all money
due hpe, and put it in my pocket, then indeed
you would haYc had some excuse; but, on the

My .amiable friend and professional gentle.
man OF the ChronicIe and Sentinel has not no.
ticed my note; nor has he. since my return TO
Augusta. corrected the false impression made
on the public in his paper Of the l2th inst. ain
poor. confess, and have only my profession to
depend on for an honest support, and n man
having me in his power has snapped the only
link OF my reputation and existence. Can the
community approve such m act. in man who
proiessest to be the pom mans friend' Can they
call him an honest politician, or man of refined
reelingsi Many an Artist whose name will
live as lasting monument 10 his talen,s. has
lived and died poor. and has been oppressed, by
those whose names will only lire IN disgrace. |
call on my brethren Of the pencil 10 help dob
this man who darcs blnckball an artist. because
he is poor, aud denies us the privilege Of gen

have been in Georgia eighteen months; and
owe no man dollar except in this city, anv
mar, or any ninth part Oft man, who SAYS
runaway from this or any other place. is Liar.
blacker than his own Goose.
