To the public,


Mr. LIsPENARD STEWART appears in the Herdid
of Yesterday with rejonder 10 my reply 10 his
card published in the Herald some weeks since,
accompanied with an editorial comment by Mr..
Bennett indorsing llr. Stewart as gentleman and
a man of honor. In that reply | confined nay re-
marks to simple defence OF the assault made upon
me and in like manner shall now endeavor 10 go
Just so far as my defensive attitude requires
inc to my asSalan the entire responsibility OF drag
ging before the public private letters, which, how
ever, he is hereby authorised to publish whenever
he thinks proper and all restrictions upon their pr
yacy removed. As evidence that have no lear
from such proceeding, | tearlessly challenge him
10 commence the threatened publication at once.
The sole object OF this publication OF MIR. Stewart
IS 10 ySifY the matter in controversy and was eY-
identity written bv his counsel with such view, with
out regard TO the fact that MIR. Stewart IN adopting
it, has placed himselfin position which is well cal
cuated to excite both pity and contempt. We make
