Mr.. EpiroR We feel totally demoralized
that 7. M, has done il, We have thought thar
Mr.. Barry himself was attacking us through Mr.,
MacNulty, but we cannot entertain the delusion
any longer we know that no one but the latter
gentleman, could make us feel so bad We art
sure that this dear good man would not have made
the effort he did ON the twenty sheets of fool"
soap had he known the result, or entertained any
idea how il would make us feel, However We
will endeavor upon one-half the paper he used, TO
set the matter right and assist this man all we
can. In doing SO, we do not propose TO follow
him in his brilliant career il we can help it, any
further back that Sept 81, that memorable day
we left his office so hastily. We thought il
enough to meet the whitening scoru and satanic
smile OF j, w, Barry but that was nothing in
comparison Why sir, 10 be challenged 10 NOR
tai combat with one-armed Soolchman, have
not got over the first shock yet, thought Of my
poor body lying on the plains of old Virginia, 10
become food for turkey buzzdrds, and OF the dis
grace that would be attached 10 my name should
such an event happen, | hope yet to see this man
brought back TO the ranks OF common decency
and true manliness from which he has departed
in this transaction, and not longer remain the paid
assassin of another, who is accidentally termed
man. Mr. MacNulty says, "in making the state
he did he was actuated by a sincere desire to as
sure the people Of this section, thar MIR, Barry
was man of the very best character" Does MIR
Mach think that the people of this section don't
know MIR. James w, Barry, it seems that very
many Of them do to their sorrow, far as dollars
and cents are concerned. 1t does not seem TO be
a very healthy climate in Vermont for Mir
Barry, we think Virginia, with this Scotch vete
ran as hacker, is better suited for him in his OPP
erations. We would inquire what tue learned
gentleman means by the statement that MIR. Bar
ry was being badly treated in this matter. Was
it because Drs. Rockwell, Campbell and Chaplin,
I,h +,f,, ,I,a "A mini
Windham county, testified that Mrs. Sarah Ii. Bar
ny according to their best information ahd belief
was sane, and Judge Ross upon their evidence,
saw fit 10 discharge the said Sarah III from the
Vermont asylum for insane, or was it because
some Of the gentlemen testified that James w,
| Barry said, he would have divorce from his
wife, and it there was not a cause he would make
one, Or was it something else MIR Mach. states
that he does not know a man in his county
mean enough to follow up his fellow man with
that degree of persecution that has characterized
the acts of myself and Mr. McCollom toward j.
W. Barry" When man has violated the laws OF
the land, does he consider fair trial in the courts
of law and justice, persecution Were we mean
seeking to further the ends of Justice by the liberia.
