! He will doubtless pronounce this libel, and
charge me with being its author, inasmuch as he is
capable of stating in a solemn manner to the people
of Baltimore that the publication in the Herald was
vile and famatOry libel against his Character.
! Upon these facts leave the public TO judge of the
character aud conduct o. Judah NJ. lSaaCks. They
are sufficient to give contradiction to his entire state
ment.
! He states that on "Wednesday he saw me in place
of worship, but he Intentionally omitted TO mention
that he me also IN Cherry street, walking with
a gentleman Of Charleston, a relative, and passed
within three feet of me, without saying word II
| he had desired To me, he then had the opportu-
nity, or he could have suggested an hour, at which
/
He has undertaken, upon hcarsay, to assert where
| boarded and with whom. He is himself well a.
ware of lis ialsefOod, or why not seek there.
Whence the necessity Of following me to Baltimore?
This part of his communication il 50 mnch beneath
the dignity of gentleman, and has 30 htte ConHtc-
ton with the alleged libel that dismiss il with the
remark that defence made here, would be placing
me upon level with him and his Informant, if he
has one. He has alluded to my travelling in cheap
line of boats, and it is characteristic of the man.
by this line my expenses were increased b. tae de
lay it caSiuntd-my object in taking il was t. see
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and to save one
nights sleep, but the words of the Poet being Gpp-
! cable TO this honorable parsonage, quote them:
Gan seems infected, that the infected SPY,
As all is yellow to the jaundiced eye"
He loudly boasts of the assault and in the face Of
the certificate OF four honorable men to the contrary,
he falsely asserts that he called to me, and gave me
notice. There Were three 10 one, and with that at
vantage he acted like a coward. As soon as telt
slight touch of my hat, turned round aud Nxclaim-
3D. 'is it you. you fugitive sCOundre," upon which
he turned the but Of his whip and repeated his blows
without effect So soon as he discovered that was
getting an advantage, he and his irirna Cannon
and jumped into a carriage. II he was man OF no
nor, and conscious Of the correctness Of bis course
why come with assistance. and that cGvrlty? Why
| run away and hide HIMSELF and submit to the degra-
daton Of being brought through the sIreel'
Courage is a virtue which towards cannot initiate,
and III axiom is sustained by the dlslaihly conduct
/ of himself and associates.
He has not ventured reply to nay card Of the Sd
October Every fact stated then, is cOnfiImed, but
he la: simply asserted his innocence and the purity
of his character, to relieve himself among strangers
His expulsion from the Lodge was published but a
month before III Baltimore, and hence he selected the
very worst place in which to locate his character.
He seems TO boast Of laurels won in the ASSAULT
He is welcome IN all The consolation which numb,rs
advantage aud secrecy may have afforded, they hut
prove that TO other had qualities, he has added cowar-
dice. We may meet again under different circun-
Stances and when he may repent the unManly course
he has pursued. He alone can approve it, feel
that should not uiIer in public estimation. When
handed the letter into the office, did not antci-'
pate any difficulty TO arise, or should not have done
it, | acted from no improper motive and leave the
lublic to iudge. The course have here pursued,
pursue reluctantly, for many reasons hut it has been
forced upon me in a way hat admits of no other al
tentative. Future developments shall he ade, and
testimony collected which will defy all cunning or
evasion. Very Respectfully,
LEVI S D'IYON.
