10 the Editor of the american Organ:
DEAR SIR: 1t is not my purpose to review the
letter of Mr.. Cooper of the I'd inst. AS my state
ment of what occurred during my visit to his house
to perform work Of charity, is already before the
public, corroborated by the testimony of Mr.. VIM
Shredder, will trouble you with only few lines
| will take one statement from his letter, and
from that one let the community judge the value O.
the rest. Mr.. Cooper says:
" The next morning after this occurrence, he
came again to my house--came in the porch, and
there stopped, and perhaps thinking better of his
determination, without entering, turned and went
away
This is the statement which select from the
Others, never was at his house or in his porch
except on the occasion above referred to with Mr.
Shredder. And now call on Mr. Cooper, as
and every one else have the right to do when an
imputation is made, to produce the dispositions Of
credible Witnesses before magistrate proving this
statement. This | insist on, and demand of him
as my right, which il he fail to do, then let him
abide the judgment Of the public.
Should you be kind enough to insert in your
journal these few lines, you would very much oblge
your humble servant. +. DEvLN,
Catholic Pastor
