EDIToRs HER4LD OF FREEDoa-
S1Rs:-Gov. Robinson says, in his
note of the 9th inst, that reflected
upon him, in my card of Oct. 17th.
I intended no such thing, and / think
fair construction of my statements
will show that I did not. I meant to
be understood, that the pledges made
for the fourteen thousand dollars, had
not been fully redeemed, by those
making them. This, Mr.. Robinson
fully understood, as he was the person
that first informed me, in the city of
Boston, that the money from some of
the places where it had been subscrib-
ed, had not been received, at which
intelligence I was greatly surprised.
I stated the fact of this failure, and
great disappointment to 'scrip" hold
ers, In a note to the n. Y. Tribune. q,
He says, 'Gmsde report, as Treas
urer of the Protection Fund Commit
tee" last summer, of all the money
received by theTreasurer of that Com
mittee, and from whom received
That report was published, and with
it statement, that any person inter-
ested could learn how the money had
been disbursed, by calling on Mr. .Deitz-
ler, the Financial Secretary. Such is
still the case; and, if the gentlemen
desire, they can learn from whom ey-
cry dollar was received, and to whom
it was given, In fifteen minutes time. :"
About two weeks after the publica-
tion of my "card," had an inciden-
tai conversation with Mr.. Deitzler.
Supposing him to be the same init
mate and ardent friend of the Cover
nor, as formerly, l asked him why the
Governor spoke of me SO harshly, and
charged me with peculstion, without
proof. His reply, and what he vol
UNFAIRLY stated about the accounts. the
funds, and their disbursement, shall
withhold from the public for the pres
ent. 1t was, however. a very differ
ent affair from the Fifteen minutes"
proposition of the Governor.
The Governor torgets, when he
says that he does not know that one
dollar has been received, that was
raised by their instrumentality," or
else he wilfully peryerts the truth.
This, however, is Of but little conse-
quence. Others know that mach money
was received here, that was raised
through my "instrumentality."
He will do me the justice to say,
that he never received copy of a
complimentary letter, and subscrip-
tion by members of Congress to quite
large sum, from me. l did, in my
addresses last winter, speak of him
in a complimentary" manner, and
he knows it; and he thanked me for
SO doing. spoke, too, as l felt at
that time.
81 do not desire to reflect upon any
man, and make no charges" 1t is to
be regretted, that His Excellency did
not form aresolution so commendable,
at an earlier period.
l regret these public statements.
They never would have been made,
but for his duplicity, his cruel and
unwarrantable charges against me
the first intimations of which, were
given me at the Topeka Convention,
which made it necessary, as believed,
and was advised, to make public
statement of my labors at the East.
At this time, he was out of the Terri
tory. The first opportunity l had
after his return, / called ON him. He
was on the point of leaving town, but
stated, in substance, that all was right
with him. He had nothing against
me, and would see me again, soon.
This was but few days before the
date of his note.
Allow me to repeat, that my agency
to the East was scrupulously fulfilled,
and that a winter of ardent labor was
performed, in the cause of Kansas
And ] dare him, or any other person,
to the proof, that single dollar ol
the little I received, has been misap-
piled by me.
Please oblige your friend, by the
publication of the above, in your val.
liable paper. Respectfully, yours,
| PHILIP G. SCHUYLER.
