IS known both to myself and the public Il IS doubly so when lam assailed by covert foes who are either ashamed or afiaid to as- sune the responsibility of their assaults. No man, however pure his life, and however strong he may be in the Consciousness of lis own integrity, .is shielded from the attacks, or sale from the annoyance, of secret enc mIes-ot unknown and irresponsible accu- sers. Let those who have complaint against me- come boldly before the public with their facts, ln their omn aapes; and then just re- sPonsibllity and public odum will fall upon hlm who fails to make good his case. 'I ask but day light and fair play.o

 As an actof justice, l request those papers which have given circulation to the charges have here noticed, to publish this commu- nication.
