MR, EpiToR The Wings of Chelsea were
somewhat surprised to see communication in your
last paper from Jas NJ. Gibson, in which it is more
than insnuated that the article in the Watchman
Of the 10Th ult., signed by Messrs. Camp, Dutton
and Densmore is a forgery THIS is not what sur
prises us, but we mere a lille struck when we saw
that even you were half inclined to believe it. The
Wings OF this town are not much in the habit
of copying from their opponents as to pcrperate

written by Mr. Camp and signed by him and Mr.
Dutton on the afternoon of Wednesday the 2Sth
ut At o'clock in the evening Mr.. Densmore
was seen, and it beng too late to write a separate
communication, and the circumstances of the case
beng nearly the same, ne concluded to sign with
them: we understand however that it was Harry
Barnes Esq. who played the Villas trick on him.
SO, MIR. Gibson, we acquit you of one third of the
guilt Mr.. Densmore, it then being nearly ten o..

To give you some idea Of the exertions requisite
to gull these Kinnesons, you will recoect that the

wicked Wing or other, what he knew about Dorr

heard OF him before. fit subject for these wor-

The only point at issue now is, who shall we be

Esq? The former aver that they never signed the
article IN question: understanding it to be such the
