TO THE PUBLIC,

In the Southwestern of the I'd inst & a Flanagan
publishes my letters in connection with s own refer.
ing to moneyed transaction, fhich he ayers occurred
the 4th of May last Not I'll the transaction was
the 18th of May our book! and bpokkeepera will
maintain. Where then his money from The 4th to
the 18th of Mays
lie refers conversation in LIS priF ate room
aud attempts TO give the samt. gave the converse
ton in my former letter. aud pronosnce bis version
fal5e If on that occasion he gsve me pnt 6ocock Of
that day. to pay him that $780,: why Gid he invite
on the 9Th and make the saus demand? By O'Clock
that day.
Flanagan says he had a CONVERSATION with colonel
johnson, with reference thes transaction the 9TH
May. This is false Col 5ewnotsiing Of the trans
action until showed him tttes from T dated the
9Th May.
On the 18th OF May recevei two letters fom Flana-
gan; the last received sout dusk that evening;
in which he informed me Tat he would leave for
Washington City that night o. thP following morning.
and demanded that the affair be aet5d bef5re he left
Truly this would exhibit aomtthifg Of indscreet
haste in the settlement of matter # such grave i'm
portauce to me
In his letter of Jolly 9th lie withdvaws Ills SANDER
GUS charges made in his lette of AIay the 9h but in
subsequent letter, Aug sths he recRlls his apology,
leaving matters as they stood befose, showing how
contemplate his denunci: ons, aad worthless his
apologies. {
I heard no from F!antgan un.il Petition was
presented to to sign, which after Stature reflection,
| declined to do. I give thtf pesoa below, to show
the public whether or not a,ted wisely. IhaTe never
ntmated either by word jecd tha| would consent
to an arbitration of the affair; for ut no time have
recognised that Flanagan LID any rights withheld by
me- have ever been willing; from she beginning, to
have free and full investigation Of the transaction
ANY schooboy knows the difference between arbitra-
ton ard investigation; but Flanagan appears to bs
ignorant on this point /
The petition give below, Us crafty document, and
worthy the genius of Flanagan having failed to e1-
tort money from me, by the gentle means aiover would
use TO win his sweetheart By then rfsore to the cant
of bully" and failing ID shs, he attempts to drag
the Sisters of the Crosse into HIS entanglements
which proclaims him lunatsc or MAN with purpose
black as night he is welcome to either horn Of the
dilemma.
