Sir-!iaving accidentally come in possession of
the Albany Observer Of the 9th ut. wherein found
contained the substance of four letters, written by
the committee who had assembled together
for the purpose ofobtaining some information rela-
tive to the affair of Morgan-and as the said com
mitee have thought proper to lay before the world
part of the clrcumstantal evidence obtained at
their general meeting, which certainly goes far to
impcate some persons who, perhaps, never heard
Of Morgan until after the bloody tragedy was all
overland as believe ! am the person alluded to,
as being the author Of such. information, hereby
feel myself obligated to most soemnly declare that
part OF the reports which are said to have been
taken from said letters are utterly talse-and that
part which aludes to Mr.. Chaplin, of Buffalo. as
being in any manner concerned in the murder of
Morgan, was certainly made without any regard
to truth.


And also they had no Just grounds to make the
following statements, viz: That Lodge of British
masons was ealled that Mr.. Brant was sent for !.
that Morgan was taken to Mr. Ms house !:
that two or more masons from Niagara we're pre.
sent at the meeting, &c.--Ihe whole Of these
statements totally deny as being the author.-
Yet that number of the committee did receive in
substance the whole account, (except that mart
which aludes to MIR. Chapin,) from some source.
have no doubt, but it come not from me. That
Morgan was butchered at Niagara, have no doubt.
but by whom do not pretend to say, and believe
that the man alluded to as being my informant,
knew no more of Morgan than the man in The moon,
The probably has heard of both.)


my reasons for believing that Morgan met his
fate as | have described above, | gave 10 tbe com.
mttee, but had no reason to believe that thev
would unnecessarily, lay it before the world d,
point out me as being the bul~ark of their proof
conceive myself to be highly imposed upon by
the committee, as they have done every th;ne =
their power to excite spleen against me il the
breasts OF those who would be pleased to snothe,
me late OF Morgan. do not censure the whole
body, for presume the majority knew notb;no mtue
about what was to take place
