sona canvass in that State the effect that he had, in
the House OF Representatives charged the junior editor OF
this paper "to his face" with being sally and friend
of aboionsts." We pronounced the statement to be
untrue. and added that il Sany made such statement
as he alleged to our face, we plainly and fatty contra
dcted it TO his face.
He has now replied through the columns Of the "North
State Whig" and published what he preiends said
by him and us ON the occasion referred TO- Whether
