If J did not submit the report of Old 8
speech TO you, and if you did not endorse
1t, why did you not deny it when
charged it upon you weeks after you had
made solemn oath that the report was a
gross rerversion." If there was any.

incorrect, why did you not speak of it,

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT OF GAIT, JOSH
CLARKE.
After Tall Sloughs affidavit in refer.
ence TO the Borns township speech OF
DR.. OIds was published, | had some con
versa'ion with him in reference 10 it. in
which conversation said 10 Mr. Slough
that he had been very imprudent in suf.
lerlng its publication, He (Slough) then
remarked, that 'he had not been consult
ed in reference to its publication. that he
knew nothing of it until he saw it in
print. and that TT THE AEFrDAvIr) HAD
BEEN IETERPoLATED IN TwO PLACES" Ma
MING THE WORDS, which do not now re-.
co leCt. JOSH CLARKE.
Now sir. what did you mean by stating
to Capt Josh Clarke. "lor whose stern
integrity. the world will vouGh," that
you had not been consulted IN reference
to its publication "And that it had been
inIerpolaled 10 Two places" exc. pt that
the affidavit AZ published. did me An in
justice as well as oursGlf2 What else
could you mean? No oher deduSrion is
admissible from the facts.
And now air, | appeal 10 YOU to know,
and through you to just public. il you
are not convicted out of your own mouth,
first Of having admitted the correctness
of the report, and aocondly Of "either in
tentionally lying" when you made the ad
mission, or mallciously and oorruptlv
swearing falsely when you made the ali

As an example of your consistency and
sruthfulnesS permit me 10 call youra,ten
lion to the following sentences found in
your card Of The 1st:
at is true the DR.. had written his
card from statements made to him by my
self as TO The contents Of he report before
the Gazeuo was issued. &
| perhaps had conversation with The Dr.
about whot The report contained without
saying anything about the contents Of tho
report"
What language can expose the absurd
ity, inconsistency and ialsity oflhese St
teOccs2 They are so absurd, SO iucon.
sistent, 80 false ns to b fl, further expo
sure Tho Doctors card was writ on
from s,atemeors made by you about what
the report contained" and yet you said
