nica,ions must be received by. or before The mid
die of the week, or they would have 10 " over.
lie knew that on saturday We had moi seen his
article, and was entirely ignorant of is prrpon,
and that consequently we could have no such base
motive ior not giving place n h. iuputcs TO IT,
In conclusion We rcroat that DR.. MrlEAS well
knew, that this statement had no foundation in
truth. nrl was malician,ly designed TO make an
impression not warranted by th" facts. -
'--i'ut Wat Claims had he upon our courtcsy. g..
columns at all after having abused OR confidence

We do not ask him this question, knowing IA VIC
do. that his biGotrv intolerance AMI presumption,
arc so largely developed as 20 smother every o,h
er faculty Of his soul

present all further notice f shes" articles hut hcv

will belaIcc accounts and end the matter.
