Of Mr. Kirkpatrick II II be asked what his motives could
be in attacking me he has done, after all his forme
friendly professions j only that, after being dsap
pointed N securing webster deb. in Costa RIGA or the
Consul back his powcr and Webster returned TO New
York with second grant Of the Transit he imagined it
would be good policy deprecac Wehs.ers wrath by
deavorng decry my character and nctra,ize If posi-
BILE his own published testimony, thereby conciany
Webster for quiet settlement of his Claim. Such
crfce every principle of honor and honesty whist they
bow down before the golden calf and worship only ,he
almighty dollar
Kirkpatrick knew perfectly well, two months before
left my intention to quit New York About week before
expectations as regarded Webster, and advised him
10 send out power to the Consu! to recover
his claim, by leyying upon part of the bonds
having declined to accept power myself On the day
Of my departure reiterated my advice in writing.
Spencer who had gone Costa Rca held the ccrt
Gates for 1925 due by Costa Rca Webster for the
capture of the steamers by Spencer, but without any
dorscment or transfer to the latter or this $4,000 was
be paid by Wbsters order to Spencer and S25 900
the officers of the expedition who captured the steamers
in the river San Juan, that there balance coming
to Webster, much more than sufficient to Kirk
patrcks demand deemed il his only chance for getting
paid, although ii is than " forlorn hope No
GET ANYTHING from Webster in Kew York, after show
ing what he declared touching the lattcrs tricky
character and swindiing career Equally incredible is
bis assertion the effect that months before any
would treat for the Transit namely, within few
days Of my arrival in New York treasured him that
Webster would be shortly worth 1925 000 and that II
would see him paid undoubtedly If had before
left New York Kirkpatrcks written relation of Web
ster's anecedens, Published in your paper, conformity
with my Opposition and afterwards in the NEW York
Herald, would not have offered to recommend his
case for il be evident to any impartial reader,
would be TO any judge, that Kirkpatrick, by his own
showing, is open TO suspicion Of completely with Web
ster and also inclined 10 ask whether If the matter
sed regards the promissory note given by Web
ster Kirkpatrick for FIR beyond the amount due
him. and taking relative value into consideration the fact
admitted by kirkpatrick that he (Kirkpatrck) cog
infant OF Websers infamous acts for instance when he
Gays he had bill in his hands, the body and signature
10 which he knew to be forgery, whether, in ane
judicial investigation would cxoncratc Kirkpatrick from
charge of s'compoundng felony" As regards Kirk
patrcks testimony against Webster used it that of
man who had turned KAg's evidence" or, the Anne
call it, Estates evidence" against his former
SOCRATES. Yours, &c, YOUNG ANDERSON.
