for two years past has been operating IN
this city, and widely circulated and ven
tilated BY two OF your prominent jour
mails, viz: the Appeal and Avalanche.
This man Vaughan, Flowers, Burdett,
has sought in this manner TO revenge
himself upon me, as he frequently
Threatened he would do, because OF my
efforts 10 prevent him from imposing
himself as a husband aud son-in'law
upon the family Of one Of our much-re-
spected citizens. During the last illness
OF the lady and wife who so unfortunately
fell a prey TO his villainy, he made fire.

length and breadth Of the land 10 be
read and commented upon by my ae-
Quaintances, many OF whom, perhaps,
will never see my vindication, and to
their latest day associate me with this
murder. It's, therefore, a source OF
deep and burning modification.
