Being one of the parlies. 10 whom was
referred a. settlement of the difficulties
then existing between Messrs. Lang6tt and
Clemens, and after a, full Investigation 81
all the particulars connected with: the
whole affair, we we're forced to conclude
that the insult offered Mr. Clemens by
Mr.. -Lang6tt was wholly from misappre-
tensions and misconceptions, and that. IN
the whole affair. Mr., Clemens. has pur>
sued q course that is as magnanimouss as
it is gratifying to his numerous friends.
Moreover. from "a thorough: .investigar
ton of public sentiment, Mr. Clemens is
entirely relieved from everything preju-
dicial and his course has been such, as
would have actuated any gentleman un-
der the circumstances. 'H' 49, N-.a ,
have the honor to be, yours, -. ..ra
Most respectfully. ss'r'-
