can, against our people in general
aud Col. Win. NJ. Levy, our rcpresen.
ta,ive elect to the Congress Of the
United States, in particular, hereby
pronounce tho said charges all and
particular to be false. slanderUus- and
malicious, and intended solely to ira
duce and villify the good people of
Natchitoches, and injnrc the standing
and character Of Col. WIN. NJ. Levy,
that the said Pierson may thereby
further his nefarions schemes. And
we further declare, that, the character
and standing of the said Z. L. Pier.
sou, is notoriously bad, and that he
has not the con ii'lence and respect of
any decent person in this community.
That from his early manhood he has
been totally unreliable, both in word,
net and deed; that after the late war,
during which his conduct was such as
to forfeit the confidence and esteem
of all bis people, by his acts Of de-
sertion and forgery Of pay accounts :;
tho goad people Of this city enter.
tanning the highest respect to, and
confidence in his, the said T.. l..
Piers,n's fatha- o"S' f-...i'y, ~r--- 49,
promise cf the said E. l.. Person, to
lead in future an honorable anal hon
eat life, and attributiDg his saitl acts
of desertion and forgery, to the igno.
rance Of youth, he was assisted and
encouraged in every manner by our
people, and to our certain knowled &C
more particularly BY Col. VIM. NJ.
Levy, whom he now in q most VIII
lannon's and outrageous manner ut
tempts to traduce.
We further declare that We woald
not believe any statement made by
the said T.. l.. Pierson upon oath,
that Ills character as a lawyer even is
bad, he having emhezzled the funds
collected for his client in suit, and
We further declare that we are pre-.
pared to substantiate any and all OF
the within assertions before any Court
under oath. g..
We do not in any manner tolerate
this mans statement to abuse the
confidence and esteem with which
we now hold and will always hold
Col. VIM. NJ. Levy, and We consider
that it is our duty rs good citizens, to
pronounce the statements made in the
testimony BY the said e. L. Pierson
to the said Congressional Committee,
against Col. VIM. NJ. Levy, to be a
mean, malicious and a slauderOus lie.
