You know sir, and did Wbsa you penned

And in view of your knowing this fact, I
can assign no other motive for your re-
marks than simply your daily manifested
rsneorous determination to revenge the
recent disclosure in this paper of the fac.
that not long ago you were dismissed from
the service of the country at Washington,
and we're afterwards taken up and brough.
out here by Cariile to do his uuscrupoIous
work.
1t, sir, is truth well known to the
clerks in the Wheeling post Office, of which
liberal portion are Democrats, that, By
my desire and direction, more especial
pains have been taken to forward your
papers regularly aud promptly than have
been taken to forward the LntelEigneer.-
On many occasions, when your news boys
were late in the morning With their bundles,
the porter at the post office has delayed,
on your account, closing The bags for a
quarter Of an hour after time. This he did
simply to avoid giving you and your lurk-
ing allies that pretezt which we knew we'll
you and they coveted, of saying something
prejudicial to the Administration, and es-
pecially against myself as its agent. ThA:
Pretezt you never have had and you never
shall have, if can avoid it, for as long
as the Government sees fit to tolerate your
traitorOus sheet, it shall have full swing in
the mails 80 far as am concerned.
To conclude, Sir. pronounce your whole
reference to me this morning in its length
and breadth, in its spirit and purpose, an
atrOcious calumny, and here state that
NO man lives who can say that ever by

With this complete denial of your whole
