except when you disturb the public peace, and
injure the good name and reputation of our city,

Among the other members of the Republican
party who were present at the Supper alluded to,

DR.. Sir,-In reply to yours have to say Il
was with you on the evening alluded to by the
editor of the Pioneer, and although sitting very

your way home. Your conduct was unexception-
able. Yours, ST. A. d. BALcoxBE.
