Mr. Smith, i
TO avoid imputations which may be
nude in consequence of the publication of
private quarrels, it is deemed necessary
to Hate the rcafon which amhorifes the re
qaeff that you will give publicity to the
following correspondence.
In your paper of the 12th June, capt.
Van Alen Hated, that in the affair be
tween himfelf and Mr. Tait, Mr. Dooly
was confultcd, and that he, Mr. Dooly,
gave it as his decided opinion, that Mr.
Tail ought not to be noticed by him, on
account of not being on the footing of a
gentleman. That Haiement being public,
renders it proper that the consequences
which have rcfulted therefrom should be
like wile so.

that you gave it as your decided opinion,
that 1 ought not to be noticed by him,
on account of my not being on the foot,
ing of a gentleman. I now call on you
to know whether the flatement of Mr.
Van Alen, with refpedt to the opinion
which he has laid you gave, is correct or
not. 1 am, See. C. 'FAIT.

are thereby poffelfcd of my opinion, which
I never meant ro disguise. Bur, fir, I

Sir-—Yourcall or the 411 inlt. is now
at hand. With regard to the fatisladtioa
therein called tor, 1 have nothing at pre
lent to lay ; the explanation indited on
was called tor too late for me, in ju It ice to
my own feelings, rogivc. You mult have
known that 1 was apprised of the affair
. ot honor then on hand. And 1 dcemi£
hill more too late at this time, after iHfc
accident that has happened.
I allure you that the opinion I gave
Mr, Van Alen was public before the ad
journment of court, and before the de
parture ot you or your friend trom Walh
ington. >
Dad you called on me before the chal
lenge and acceptance, or before the death,
alter the duel, 1 Ihould have made no dif
ficulty in giving you a written or verbal
explanation. At present I (hall only fay,
that 1 will advise with some of the gcrli
tlcmcn to whom my opinion was known,
on the propriety ot now giving it to you.
It, in the mean time, this Ihould not be
fatistaCtory, you arc at liberty to take fa
tisfattion whenever you please ; 1 (ball

call on my triends to know the proprie
ty of giving the explanation therein cal
led for. 1 have diltarded this
some time pall, of which you weald Have
been duly apprised, but for the conceived
impropriety of embarking in an affair of
honor, while in nomination for an ap
pointment from the Executive. The ar

In an affair of honor between Charles
Tait, Esq. the challenger, and John M.
Dooly, Esq. the challenged, the place
agreed on is Barkfdale’s Ferry ; to maet on
the Georgia Ihore, both parties attended
only by their single friends, :.nd then to

will be agreed on. The time to be Fri

In confequcnce of the above affair of
honor the parties met at the place and tirou
appointed. Dodor Bibb made the fol
lowing propofuion to Mr. Dooly :
Inafmuchas the only objection Hated by
you to give Mr. Tait the explanation cal
led for is tne time his application \CaTt
made, Mr. Tait will fay he would have:
called on you sooner had he not contem
plated a call being made on you by Mr,.
Crawford, and that he did make the call
as soon after the duel between Mr. Craw
ford and Mr. Van Alen as his indifpoli .
fion would permit. Whereupon you will
fay that you never gave the opinion Hat
ed by Mr. Van Alen. This was agreed
to, and the parties shook hands on terms
of mutual fricndfiiip.
