charging Mr.. Campbell with betraying
them into the hands of Col. Beaumont.
They further set forth also that the mys-

person was of his own composing, in his

approved by any one of their number.
If this charge be untrue it will be very
easy for Mr.. Campbell to show its falsity.
If it be true his silence will allow the
public to draw its own Inference
