To hc PuJlic:-

To hc PuJlic;-
Iii consequence of The position as
signed me by a recent publication
through the Fayetteville Observer, by
Reel jas. Kirkland, l feel myself
called upon to offer the following in
reply to his statements. In the out
set, I would enter my disclaimer at
any intention to wreak any sort Of
vengeance upon lnr. Kirkland My
sole object is to Perpetuate whatever
of character l may possess, and not
to eKult in the downfall of any one.
Mr.. Kirkland offers as an apology
for his appearing before the public,
the vindication of his moral charac-
ter, by correcting false impressions
which he says l put in circulation in
Faydtteyille-which charge l most
respectfully but fatty deny. He
charges me with asserting, upon my
return from Col. RoJiason's near
Huntsville, the place at which the
College Locating Committee met, that
he betrayed the confidence Of the
Fayetteville delegation VII o we're en-
trusted with the delivery to said
Committee of the bid of Fayetteville
for the College, by first learning the
amount of their subscription and
then communicating the same to the
Elkton delegation, thereby prompting
them I'd change the figuresyon the
Elkton papers SO as to exceed the
sum subscribed by Fayetteville II
plead hot guilty to this also. In view
of this direct and pointed issue be-
tween Re-. NJ. Kirkland and myself,
it is due to my standing in this com
munitg, as well as to truth and jus
tee, to state that which must neces-
sarily reflect heavily upon the good |
name of him who has taken upon
himself the sacred office Of the min
istry Of Jesus Christ. i have said
that | denied charging lHr Kirkland
with informing the Elkton delegation
the amount Of the Fayetteville sub
scripti4n. This denial was based
upon the strictest abstract principles,
and not upon fair inferenc les and rea-
deductions. l still repeat
that denial, and assert at the same
time, that while the law might per-
chance exonerate him, he was to all
intents andpurposes morally guilty;
and the facts have only to be referred I
to, to satisfy every unprejudiced
mind of that fact | a I'M it charging j
