Vermont telegraph. [volume] (Brandon [Vt.]) 1828-1843, 1842-02-16
A BAD CASE.

Some weeks ago q report unavoidable
70 the Editor Of the Vermont Telegraph
reached US, from responsible source.
with request that we would publish it,
our informant believing such course re-
CURED by the interests Of religion. In
stead of publishing it, however, we sent
it in substance, to the accused party him
self that he might tell his own story in
his own way, and with any explanation
or remark that he might deem fit. The
result thus far. is. the application to US. BY
the aforesaid Editor, of sundry abusive
| words and phrases, by which he gives his
readers to understand, among other things,
l that we had attempted to induce him to
publish unfavorabIe reports relating to
some third person ,~ IT. HI.
This co,npels US to say that the report
relates to himself. lie may tell what 1t
is, or not, just as he pleases and can say
whether ii is true or not. We communl-
Gated II 10 him that he might deal with it
according to its merits. He might have
been silent, and then we should have Gone
so; bet having spoken as he has, we de-
mand of him now, as an act OF justice, the
publication in his paper, of our last conl-
municalion 10 him on the subject,--ai-
though we have but liule expectation that
: he will dare, after what he has said, to do
US that juslice.-W Ch1oaicIe.
