I'm Editors Vindication q q Friend

An editor in indicating the pri-
vate character Of a friend, who had
been nailed for the crime of sheep
stealing, thus defends him:
1--WE have known Mr.. Thomas for
twelve years. Our acquaintance COM
menced with the great equinoxial
storm, which blew down our GRANDPA
theirs barn. At this time he was a
young man, in the prime Of life, and
we think raised the best marrowfat
peas we ever eat. He was a good
mathematician, kind to the poor and
troubled with fits. In all the relations
of a husband, father, uncle, and trus
tee of common lands, be has followed
the direct standard of duty. Mr.
Thomas is at this time forty-thret
years of age, slightly marked with tn
smallpox, an estimable citizen,
;. church member, and a man Of known
integrity, for ten years. And as t.
sheep stealing, that he would hav
done it if he could get an opportuni
Ity, is without foundation in point Q
fact. Mr.. 7. could have stolen GU

do it."
