TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL, But particularly to the Citizens of Edgefield Di/trid, HAVING had my char-after, hafely and malignantly traduced hy Ct J. Bark’y Mar tin id Edgefield Difii ift, and feme of his in. ♦imatefriends, I feci bound in justice to mv fd|, and my friends, to trouble the public ■ with a concifc ft.itcr.cnt, and feme ncccflbry affidavits. To exculpate my charafter from the poi(Vinous tongue cf (lander, to those who have been eye-witnefles of the perils, fat igues nrd even blood (bed, which I have f offered in defence of my country, in which I ctnha iked before I was feventcen years of age, and in which I continued until 1 was wcundcd, or to ;hofe rtfpeftahle men, who j have been confhnt fpeilators of my private and public condcft, since that period, would be entirely unneccflary. Ihe trouble which I stow beg leave to give my fellow citizens, in reading this fiatcincnt, and the subjoin ed affidavits, rnnft find its apology in that rrfpsciability , credit and influence to which Col. Martin ban attained, in t(te efiimation iof many people,-*-Or in oilier words, a man who like him, has made an open picStffion of the chriftian religion, and who has been once eUftctl from his diltrift to represent it in the fiatc legill.iturc, and slanders or at tempts to llande/ a feilow citizen, will find some men ready to believe his infinnations, however unfounded or malicious they mav he. Thii man has thus flandcred me, before . the public —Will nor the hllc then hear me, vvhiitl I refute such (landers f Sometime towards the latter end cf Juno, in Martin-Town, Edgefield Dill rift, in a company of men, In which were Colonel Martin, M« r fn«d Martin, lb icon Mims, Mat. Mims and John Key, all particular friends of Col. Marlin, except the la tier* Briton Mims audibly madeufeof thefc words, or WrtthifiiMiaerially the fame (viz.)

MarjhilMartin replied “ / have heardfo.” | Mi.usfaid Cl dirt’ t you believe it to be Jo?" Martm again replied / do.— And then made mention of the name of George Mar tin.—Colonel Martin immediately cbferved that ** and I feared" or “ Ifeared John Lyon so , that he could have crept through an anger hole, lafi eleflion.” It is a fait well known, that Lyon is not only a friend of mine, but we have, 1 believe uniformly lup. ported the fame candidates at elcftions among which Col. Martin had never a placj, nltho' he has offered himfoW at a number of electi ons. But to proceed.—This report mcnii. oned by Mima and fanftionrd by the compa ny, general! v, wr.s not confined to the men composing this company. The rancor of party spirit had spread it far and wide s—in5 —in other companies, among other men, and in other places 1 In a fiiort rime however, per haps but a lew days afterwaids, 1 fell in company with Col. Martin at Hornes-creck Mceting-Houfe, where a large company of people had met together for the purpose of' public worship. Col. Mattin offered me his hand, to [hake hands.— Having heard of the above report, which 1 viewed as complete ly functioned by him, whan he, and perhaps all persons in this dinritt during the war kneiu it to befalfe ,- for the manner in which I was wounded was a matter of great noto riety ; I refufed the Col. my hand, declar ing that “ I never will give jon my hand until that business is fettled," and further dating “ Cal. Martin, were you not pre sent ami heard Briton Mims fay that I had my leg foot off in the aft offcahr.g Burney’s h'jrjcty out of b;s horfe.pen, hy the vepfo or 6-verJter, and cell uptn Marjhal Martin to certify it ?" Martin replied u you told me foyou flf," I madeanfwer “ 1 never did" Martin replied again “ you did fir” I again •nfwered “ I never did ; would I have tol'd a scandalous lie upon myfelf ?" The con versation became loud by Martin’s faying “y ou did and 1 will swear it." I 1 hen an swered “ you will then (wear an infernal lit." Fie replied “ I will swear it, and prove it by Marffial Martin." I perfified in contradicting him.—When the converfa fion became so warm and myfeif so irritated that 1 pretend not to rccolleft it difiinfllj. He then abulcd me by apply ing to me the most low, and unmanly epithet?, such as that, I was bcreaih his notice , and a mean low-lifed, worthiefs puppy. He mention ed that his hands were tied and I knew it, or that he w Quid hsvc fir.mped me long ago. H 5 then mounted hishorffi after which he toid me, not to give him the lie again, or he would get down and do it then. 1 told him if he (aid that 1 had told him, that uy leg was (hot cfFin theThar.net represented above, that it was a falfity of a lie, —He thengott ff his horse, and advanced towards me, fcvcral people catching at him to step, him, from all of whom he broke loose, and came up in a striking pofuion and (truck at me, atora bout which time, I (truck him over the head with my umbrella, we were then feperated.
