Answer 10 Friendly Complaint.
To the Editor a the Eedre7:

10 the HlilOr o. tue heoGeHi
1t is with pain we are forced to exon
crate ourselves from the attack of some
meJdlesome indi yidual through the Ava
lanche and LEDGER sigaing himself " A
Friend" and making misrepresentation
of q reflective characte on our order. We
would respectfully inform the public that
we have laws governing our actions in
all QUE proceedings. If the deceased,
Cornelius Sullivan, had acted in con-
formity with the requirements of our
constitution, which was his solemn and
bounden duty. thea his friends might
have cause Cor complaint. AS it is,
eufice it to say chat the deceased,
through his own fallt, has made his
malstanding in our order so apparent,
that we deem it inadyisable to recall the
various misgivings Of one who, though
weak in head, may have been pure az
heart. We regret being thus compelled
TO make this exposition in justification
of ouf course, aud 70 silence the ungen-
erous comments Of a friendly conf
palmer.
