Mr.. Thomas Jefferson Smith, a Justice of the
Marine Court, diates in the Evening Post on
the subject of the private letter from Hon. H.
Clay to C. NJ Clay which was stolen from our
table, broken open, and published in the Demo-
crat. Mr.. T. Us. appears to feel rather unconn-
Portable about the matter, but that is fault of
ours. AS we have never accused him of stealing
and violating the letter, we DO not sec why he
should bother himself to make people believe that
we dropped the letter in Canal.street. At any
rate, there is no truth in that preence. The let.
ter was stolen from our table in the inner Edito.
rialroom of this office; and if any body pretends
to have found it in Canal-st. why don't he mani
fest himself? When we can find him, we shall
be so much nearer the chap who put the letter
down in Canal-st, in order to have it picked up.
1t strikes US that Justice would be better EN-.
ployed in fereting out the felohs in this business
than in standing up between them and the
public.
