had an equal. He was among the early and
enterprising citizens OF indianapolis, an en-

views, and it has been gratifying to his
friends, that after life OF unremit,ing ac-

ABase Charge Disprovcd.

an hour TO accompany the other documents
brought forward by Mr.. Dietsch and publish
ed yesterday, TO disprove the rascally charge
brought against him in the Enquirer. 1t is
entirely unnecessary for Mr.. d. TO take fur

liar ones malice may choose 10 invent. His
character is sufficient contradiction 10 all
such accusations. The following document
