 To fhe Edaof of the .4rkaqsas .4doocme:

 StR-in the Advocate of the 25th last. l see letter signed Wm. Gummins, to Benj. Johnson, Of the Judges, &c-- In that letter, l observe that the author has referred to me for .he truth of some of the facts statud in the 4th charge. Lest 1t might 5e supposed (should remain si- lent,) tIlat had authorized the reference, 1 have to say that 1t is wholly unauthorized by me, aud without my knowledge or con- sent. here, sir, most solemAiy protest against the right of any man, to place my name in an attitude before tho public where even silence may be construed into accusation or defence: And because do not choose to answer every man who ma make ii convenient 10 refer to me in a newspaper, Twill therefore, answer none To yield the right to one, Is grant of the same right to all or any who may claim it..

 1t has ever been my course, when any matter Y as submitted to me (for ecsion), to endeavor to forget the parties, and to adopt some principle of moral right, ap- plicahle-to the question, and pu,sne that principle whithersoever It might iead.- Now, sir, hold 1t to be a moral as well as legal) right, that every man who is accused should be confronted with the witness who may be called to testify a. gainst him. To act from contrary prin- cipc would be in ( fleet to condemn the ac- .eused unheard, hy denying to him tine ben eft of full and fair trial. Assuming ttis principle te be correct, l am constrained from sense of moral justice, to decline answering 10 any Of the supposed facts, for the truth of which l have been referred to as witness

 lis it issmy determination 10 leave this matter where found it, claim that no pae shall draw any inference for or against the accused, from any thing that haye said VIM. TRIMBLE.
