great press of matter we cannot publish in our
columns, several letters written by gentlemen
who were invited to the dinner recently given
at Barnwell Court House to MIR. Rhelt. We
can only state IN the briefest possible manner,
the conclusions to which they have severally
come, about Stale inierposition at this time,
without giving any of their arguments. If it
should be in our power i'll short Time, to pub
ish some of their letters, or extracts from them,
we will do so.
