Captain Tyler admits it, saying:

The corrections" (?) were made by us,
and the insinuation of the Virago that we
improperly avoided publication of the
letter is so mani!esty false that no denial
is really necessary.

Virago at the expense of the writer are at
once so silly and malignant, that the effor,

and generous to fault in the matter of
publication Of the Tyler letter, all reason

The statement of the Virago, that VIZ

ow, we ask, in the face of this fact. if the q

sneral Brisbin's letter published by US II

out OF its mirc. accuse HIM also of "per.
