Well gentlemen. we wish you sound sleep and pleas

You say farther on ,ha, you doubt very much yVheth
any of the students OF Mr. Pitmans system VIII be
thought by the public to answer the purpose 10y your o
fault NJ the triad when they know hat andTe"s and
Boyle the only accredited agents OF Dir. i!noa In
America
To The assumption of this singular doubt reIy in a
few words
That YOU are the agents of Mr.. Pitman gentle
men, does not imply that you nre the ATTEST oil MS pupils
aud appeal in our letter No v (whieh rae was au

that Won are strong enough to sustain the broaddcs
which will be given n; the ra 10 the defective ana so III
efficient system Of Mr.. PiimHn.
But you, gentlemen suppose that by atiempangt 10 en-
the part OF the dog in the manger you can pre-
this trial from taking place we can assure yon that
you nrr greatly mistaken If you suppose tits 10 pro-
coed without securing all the dignity and character
which il must possess TO satisfy the pubic in the result
YOU are still more greatly mistaken At any rate we
will abide the consequences OF the public Judgment es

the Select Committee.
In the mean time Mees. Andrews Boyle may know

I'LL the Lovers OF Truth
We will here remind Messrs Boyle and Andrews,
however. that did not intend in our publication 10
de,urb them in the pleasant dream n which they nave
been thus far INDUCING. They speak OF our challenge
We did not throw out any challenge al all. much less 10
any particular individual We merely PROPOSED, IN our
fifth letter or at least plainly limited that we would as
mousrate that Mr. Pimans -ystem Is mere childish

wears ago and again restored soon to die OF lie

10Th. Having none OF Mr.. Pitmans parasite signs,
which, c"cumbcring his photographic writing as they do,
give such neXcable texture and yet freed from
all arbitrary abbrevisons' crammalogucs, phraseo-
graphs, .prefxes,' aifXes. &c. &c.
And now il should prOre all these assertions hsiore
Select Investigating COmuee. will Messrs Aro-cws
and Boyle believe that, because they should keep a%g
from the trial on bubble, they prevent ihe
truth from being admitted by discerning public =
When wrote these propositions We were no
mounted stlts but sitting in ebowchar on
level with desk and therefore if Messrs. Andrews
and Boyle choose TO make baocn-like correspondence
OF simple question, which might be contained in
nutshell and stoop personalities and uncaledor inu
cndos, they perfectly free to follow such COURSE
being assured thai shal not follow their example.
In conclusion to these who take interest in the
subject s proper state that as soon as the ecturng
shall have been fairly opened, Address from
the Committee of Arrangements will be laid before the
public During this short interval, the author will be
assiduously engaged in the concluding preparations OF
his work nearly ready for publication Nevertheless
ifmeanwhile Messrs Andrews and Boyle nit to change
their determination, they will be cordially welcome to
take the door, the trial. in behalf of the Pitmanien
system H+tt-+ WIZ.
