A Card TO tho Public

The alleged reply Of a Mr.. A Fl Kent,
which appeared in the ENTERPRISE Of
the 9th inst.,is only worthy of attention
in so far that the travelling man OF Free
man, Lloyd. Mason & Dryden denies
that he made the statement published
in our card, which appeared in the EN-
TERPRIsE of October End; thus the ques-
ton Of veraclLy is narrowed to ourin-
formant and Mr.. Kent. We had b.
lieved that Freeman, Lloyd, Mason q
Dryden were not parties to the utter
ance Of this agent, but now that they
sanction bis statement that he did not
know our old firm of Powell, Morse s.
Co., had been merged in the corporation
of the American Fish Guano Co, we
have ample reason to change our mind
in this regard.
We stand ready to prove that Virgin
ius and Ocean GuanO have done all we
claim, that produce raised by them fairly
won the premiums which they have re-
ceived, and that their large sale.has
been reached upon their own merits.
Finally permit us to say the public
knows both parties to this CONT oversY,
-lperlaps some may know Mr.. Kent.
and is perfectly athletic ascribe the truth
To whom it belongs, and to correctly
weigh both sides.
We give notice that we will permit no
false statements to be put forth with
iInpunity concerning our goods.

a letter in your journal from Judge G.
L. Garrison, in which there are some
things stated, feel that justice to my
self IT quires me to answer.
Judge Garrison SAYS | called ut his
room during the recess Of the c"ilven-
tinn. in September, 1854, and asked him
If he had heard of tile caucus the night

power on earth could induce me to ac-
cept nomination so made; that | hid
not sought or desired the nomination
and did not want it; that the utmost ex-
tent to which | had gone, had been two
days before. when in response to the
question from Messrs. T. r. b.. Wright
and w. A. jones, at Richmond county
court, whether if a unanimous nomlna'
ton should be rendered me, on tn,
ground that I could save the party FROM
defeat and no one else could, i would
accept; that replied, did not coll
ceive such a state of things possible;
that l believed any good man c,uld car

TO say What would do ulld;r such cir
culustances. l further told him l was
not willing to antagnnize any one Of
those who had been candidates for nom.

would be especially Objectionable to all
