TACT, everything was there when we left ne

stood II. Further, 600 bushels Of oats were
put IN the granary on the first of November,
and the stock has been fed since. There
was certainly twice as much corn as is put

there is any dispute about my statement, l
viii show the articles named to any respect
able person wishing to sce them.
L Will only say to b1r. Myers: You have
lent yourself TO this scheme of defamation :;
now take your choice Of these positions
either these articles were at the house on
jail 'Lu OF t!ty were not. II they were
there why did you omit them 7-if they
were not there ho@ came they there since
You will explain this, hope. To the Di
rectors: If you thought it right to buy all
McDermitt's property, you should have the
MAJ hood to father the act instead of trying
to create the impression that a necessity ex-
listed fer SO doing. which was not the Case
and this, too, at the expense of the absent.
and, as you thought, the defenceless. With
respect to this arrangement will only say
that no such thing was ever done in the
State before. To you, Mr.. Johnston | ap-
peal to your love of fair play to publish this
paper, promising that it will be the last time
l viii trouble you, and trusting that you
will not allow your paper to he made the
instrument for the destruction Of any mans
reputation without giving him a chance to
defend himself
With respect. remain
Yours, &c,
JANES J. KATLOR.
