Thus, Nr Editor, taking the annual report Of tht
Wing Auditor, the statement ofthe u dichmaa i
proved basey false; and to these same report
Gen. Walton has daily access, and knows thu
above statement TO be correct. OF course hi
statements are uiyuIy false, and in subseqren
number will cndeayor to show his other state
mcnts in relation to the State Debt to be equal,
false, and also to show the probable cause for hi
imposing such gross receptions upon his readers.
