name aud character, besides grossly fNlIfying
and incorporating my standing before this
community. So well and judICiOusly Ia your
valuable Journal managed that | cannot bat
arrive ut the conclusion that The icEuuCIa-
lions In question were emuggled iutO itB col
umns without the knowledge or consent Of the
responsible editor.

DEAN Sin AND BRorngEi By virtue OF the
authority vested In me, hereby appoint you
District Centre for the District Of Columbia,
and TO hold your position until your successor
shall be appointed by regularly elected dele
gates Of ysur department, assembled either Is

der the Philadelphia constitution.
l tender you this commission, brother, 10
view OF the necessities OF the Brotherhood 10
your city, and In view Of your answering
truth AID patriotism, and eminent fitness to
fulal its duties and thwart the schemes Of
traitors to our cause.

The conclusions of tho second paragraph OF
the preamble being based upon the first, II If
false and malicious, as the above document
amply demonstrates,
The third paragraph alleges that was "at
The time Of said pubiletti.n on trial before
and malicious" AZ will appear from the fol.
lowing statement Some seven or eight weeks
ago certain charges were preferred against
me by u "half nsturaln belonging to tho Cir
Gle, which "chargcs" were founded upon an
acrimonious discussion In which O'Neil and
mysolf had been previously engaged, and In
which l was more sinncd against than sin-
ming. These "chnrgcs" were examined by the
Committee Of Safety, md dismissed by said
committee as unwAFranted and untenable.
IL proof OF this ! respectfully refer TO the
chairman Of said committee, MIR. Patrick
Madisan, Fourth street, between q and II, ~
Well rs TO Tho other gentlemen composing the
Committee OF SSfctyi and for detailed state.
ment your readers are referred TO the next
issue OF the Irish RrPUJlic newspaper.
The denunoiations, rituporation and abuse
with which the latter portion OF the rcsolu-
iion Abounds simply merit contempt, As they
snly bctrhy the weakness Of n cause which 10
compelled to resort to blackEuardlsm | recog-
niIe IN thCm not so much the action OF The
Wathinston Circle ms the hand Of an enemy
a tool Of O'ECill's-whO Is hereby challenged
TO attack me over his signature II he darcB.
You will do me the Justice to acknowledge
that there was no personal abuse In the para
graph which appeared ia your ptucr referring
to my withdrawal from the brotherhood.
There were, however facts therein alleged, to
the refutation OF which 1t would better be-
come the luminarles of the Washington Circls
to address Themselves. Seeing their inability
to gaiDsay thess truths, however, they substi-
t,tt al ain INFtr "a
mont.
