Mr.. Hardt said that if the communication Of
Mr.. Albsugh had been published in any pa

ton on his part would have been necessary.

published arc not acquainted with the true
inwardness of this case and it may be neccs
sary for him to reply through the columns
of that paper, though many of his friends ad
wise him to take notice of the matter. AS to
the former communication of Mr.. Albaugh
he had not considered a reply necessary !;
that was all he had to say.
