Your obedient servant
The certain gentleman in TuScunbid.
N. B. IF Duncan Macaulay be "a Cler-
gymdn of the Presbyterian Church" ne
has in his possession credentials from the |
Presbytery to which he belonged. The |
production of these credentials will enti,le |
him TO a respectful hearing. His attention
and that of the public is called to this sub
iect, and he is hereby challenged to pro-
duce them. His very statement that the
matters now IN dispute will be investigated
by the iudicature of the Church, implies
that he can have access to the Presbytery
of North Alabama. This can only be
done by submitting 10 that body his Gre
dentals. Let them be shown TO compe-
tent witnesses. Then it will be known
whethe. what he has said on that subject
is not blind, and an empty boast.
