In late number of our paper dated Dec. 9TH we
published on article respecting the present
condition of the Rev. WM Hatfield, and elalm
which it was said, he had upon the Portsmouth Cir-
emit Of the Methodist Protestant Church. The sub
stance Of thatatcle was furnished us by Hctizen Of
this place, which we published, and without
knowing anything about the truth Or falsity Of the
statements which it contained, Or properly rcfccting
upon its probable results to those whom it tconcerned
we gave tan insertion in our paper. Since the pub
lcaton Of our article we have been addressed, upon
the subject Of it, by the friends Of that Church living
here and at Portsmouth, and have also visited Mr.,
Hatfield 1t is not our business or ppfRCset to adjust
or comment upon private accounts oS'fereIices, nor
do we attempt to do Soexcept cases OF distress and
gross injustice or ingratitude This case we were
led, or rather msled, to suppose demanded our at
tentou. But upon being more fully advised in the
premises we are satisfied that we ought not to have
called the attention Of our readers to this matter a
ALL Mr.. H7tfeld has been confined by sickness, tC
bis house, for number Of months past and has been
wholly unable to work for his support but we art
glad to say that we have learned aud are satisfied thai
neither he Or his family have been permitted to suffer
lie owns and occupies lot and good, comfortable
house. and his friends in and out Of The Church hay
kindly con trbuted to his support during his illness
His future wants may not be anticipated by presen
supply, but from the well known character Of tn,
members Of the Church to which he belongs ant
our citizens generally We satisfied that whateve
may be his Affections, he will not be permitted t
suffer for the want Of the necessuricS of life.
! We would not alude to this subject second time
but for the reason that We believe our former atiOl
reflected injuriouSly and unjustly upon those whom
it most concerned, and in order to remove such i'm
prcssions it may have made upon the minds Of on
readers we desire to recall what We said in our for
mer article and to leave this whole matter and all G
its parts if possible, just where we found it in tn
first place In justice to Mr. Hatfield We will So
that our former article vas not published upon hi
suggestion.
