shall not suffer myself to hold any controversy
with Hocombs printers, but will merely state, in my
vindcaton, that never made use ofany unworthy
means or motive in obtaining certificate from Rollin
C. Tower. Why should L? He tells Holconb even
that he has no recollection" of having used
the words imputed to him. AS truly stated in my
pamphlet 81 know not what the young man (Rolhn)
may have said afterwards, nor is it of much conse
quence to know" If had obtained the "P. s." in the
letter to VIM. o. before had written to Montpelier 1t
might have saved the trouble of writing at all Tor
think cannot be mistaken in the fact that the r.
81 was in substance nearly the same as the certificate
Ron admits that the omission in his last certificate
contains only an indefinite answer of his ("ntgM or
might not" are his ,oOrds) to question put by Ho-
comb and it will be perceived, has nothing to do with
the case stated by Mcclellan containing the real issue
between Holcomb and Ron. So that it is truly sta
ted in the letter to VIM O. that the three superauous
lines omitted "related to question of Hocomb's to
which Rollin gave no definite answer"
have nothing to say, at present. respecting the vol

guardianship he assumes over his brother Roln, ex-
cept that have a short letter from him, while at Ira
with his brother last January informing me that "Rol-
lin says you Marsh are at liberty to the certificate
that he Rollin wrote" This certificate it will be re-
membered, is precisely like the one published except
the omission of the indefinite 'might might not" an
swer to Holcombs question, having no bearing on the
Il AIctN hal
forgotten this letter when he stated that Rollins
tifcate to me twas not a voluntary act" and that
"promised to reward him" not one word of which is
true. His must be laudable business who submits
to he used the instrument of him who is but the in
strument or cats paw of clique in securing the
try and collecting private letters written in great haste
:and publishing them without the writer's consent in
such paper as the "Voice"
The only reason why published the certificate
with the above unimportant omission, was that sup
posed the writer, by not answering my letter, had no
reasonable objection, and in this was not disappon-
ted, for he called me the fore part of Feb and sta
ted that he perfectly satisfied with The certificate
as published, the part omitted being superfuous. Al
though regret on reflection, that did not publish
the omitted words, still the only anxiety manifested in
my letters was that there should be no OMISSION how
ever triAing without the writer's consent. If in this
erred did it unintentionally and would add that in
my published letters intended to state, as near as
could recoect, the result fmy conversation with H.
and his Foreman respecting Roin.
AS Holcomb has Numbered (by accident on to one
truth, and as am disposed to give the -, and all
others, their due, will quote his closing paragraph,
contained in the following words
"Pease charge the foregoing (repy) "to my over
seers the political harpies who control the Voice"
| receive the order and have made the charge ac-
cordngy. R. V. MARSH.
