ed as he now is, to enjoy the exclusive
benefit Of his own version Of the outrage
upon Moor. He sets out by saying that
Moor, 1.-The owner Of house and lot and
other property in Carrollton, became in

sold his house and LOT and got the psy!'
What pay? II is notorious here, that
'the house and lot were sold for about
one hundred dollars. chiefly in other
property, which Moor converted 10 TO

he was about TO remove, bis friends, in
view Of his Impoverished condition,

erless and distressed infants. Such was
Moor's situation, when Little, well ad
vised Of the facts, applied 10 Justice
for a cdpias, end would, if the Justice
had allowed him, have made the oath
necessary to obtain the writ, at all haz-
yards! Now, he says, 'lhere was no
suit, no caplas, no attorneys fees, &c.
And why was tkeIe no suit, no capias,
&c,l Simply because, the Justice would
not permit this Sbylock 10 peril his soul
and use the arm OF the Law, TO wrest

cuse, Little asseTls that 'others who are
Wings, and not professors of religion,

sums of him more than five times as
large as ours' (his) We do not doubt
that Moor, some time previous TO his de
parture, paid off most Of his debts, Voun
tarily; and made arrangements TO pay
all Of them ltis not true, however, as
Little insnuates, that any Wing 'col-
lected' money off Moor when he was in
the act cr going away from this place
None but monster, knowing his cir
cumalances, would have attempted to ar
resthim at thGt time, by legal process. =.
So far from that were the Wings to
whom he was then in debt, that several
OF them, to our knowledge, freely for
gave him his Indebtedness Equally as
frivolous aud contemplate as the fore
going, are Liltle's other excuses for the
outrage referred to-lt is false that
Moor had two large and healthy boys
On the contrary, his children were
small, feeble, and, some Of lhem, unable
10 walk either on account Of sickness or
infancy. As to his wealthy father in
law and connexions being 'such men as
lawyer Pearce would like 10 stick good
fat lee into,' we have only 10 say, that
lawyers usually stick fees into their own
pockets, and noLinlO other men, or other
mems pockets.
We pass from the details Of this dis
graceful affair, and come at once TO the
object OF this notice. As tho last resor,
and in imitation of felons under the an
cient common law of England, Little
seeks shelter from public odium by re-
treating TO the sanctuary! He charges
that our editorial exhibits u maIignan
