In this statement have attempted to attach cul-
pabiity to no man. My soIe~object has been to
vindicate myself from charges of which 1 am in
nocent. am perfectly willing to assume respon.
sibility for any act may have done, and that my
character may be measured by my conduct. 1
have therefore thought il necessary to state every
transaction which has occurred connected with the
disbanding of the Rowan company, fully and fair
ly,-not relying upon my assertions, i have pro-
cured the certificates of other gentlemen of char
acter, who feel no further interest in the matter
than wish TO make known the truth. ,4
