Here Mr.: Lowe inserts the letters which have
already been cited, without, however, any SUCH
extended explanation as haYe given, and con
cludcs with the following:
Thus ended this one sided correspondence. whlcn
explains ITSELF 1t needs little or no comment from
me: Twill not brand John a. Logan as a,u5' 10.
he is Senator OF the United States VIII r not
post him as scoundrel anu p91foon, JOE .t tna5 :
! do publish him as one who knows how to insult
but not how to satisfy gentleman, aud l invoke
apon him the judgment Of the honorable men OF
'''' W1LL1Aa N. LOWE.
Rv this co,c1r;7ino attainment It will appear
tllatM Lowe has had the criminal statutes OF THIS
District carefully in view throughout this con
troyersy. Persons familiar with the code say
that it is not customary for combatants intent
upon duel to thus advertise their intentions,
as nothing could quicker thwart blood-thfrsty
nurnosc6 than
SUCH An ANNOUNCEMENT.
