REM,RKs.-we insert the above with pleasure.
Mr.. VI. would have made an excellent preacher.
Preaching not practice is his forte. If he thinks we
have any personal luminosity against him. we will
distinctly state that we have none. 1t is only as
President of a national society that he has received
any notice from us; and the tenacity with which he
cllllgS 10 ll2t position, SHOWS HOW uesiTnuS ne l. 20 a
continuance of the notoriety which he is receiving.
No one for q moment viii doubt his statement that
he has San anxiety TO reside near the new garden
for the purpose of gratifying his ruling passion
and to which he wishes to devote his time ami ener-
gies; but how will he make his statement chime with
the declaration made at the meeting of the Agricul-
tural Society, that unless he was reelected President,
he should do nothing to assist or promote the inter-
ests of the Society? What he uttered WAS understood
by those present to be in the nature of n threat
Mr.. Ms statement of the facts regarding his pur-
chase and sale of the Armstrong lot do not materially
alter our previous version. The location of the gar
den there was and is still sought for to enhance the
value Of his private property at the sacrifice of public
interests. If this is not endeayOring to make money
out of a public institution and at the public expense,
we should like to know what is. If Mr.. NJ. docs not
wish his private affairs brought before the public, he
has only to retire from a position, where he is a clog
and hindrance to the development and success of a
worthy public institution; and like other citizens,
RELY on his individual efforts and means to i'm
prove his property and draw forth whatever admirs-
ton his taste and skill may merit
