Knowing tnyf< If to be innocent, and entertaining no doubt but that the infa mous fabrication originated with Judge I ‘ait and others, I availed tnyfclf of the fu ll opportunity of publicly expoling it ; ■ with this view I w.nt to Oglethorpe court, on the tpth of March; then read the confefii in in different compa ■ nies, confiHir.g, more or less of the friends of the Judge, accompanying then with comments of my own, a3 to their villaiuou? t’.rli.'n, and thr authors of them. in the afternoon of the ft ’ day of the couit, 1 received a message i tri,m liis honor, by his particular friend , William Barnet, fi.licit 1:1 .r lii interview . “ for explanation” and as he termed it I “ for my latisfaftion.” Scorning to ten pnrtse with villainy, I indignantly r.j ft eel ail explanation in this i\ay, and at this Hate of the hull it f. It verv readi ly occurred to ine, that ail in ti view, at this time, especially if attendtd with tens, could have no other cefign than to j lull and bury future invcltigation into ttic origin ol it. The conftllions of j Claiy, as w llas copies of the confes i lions, even then abioad in the world or dilating by the zeal of his hopeful min liler and friend, Jtdiah Gials, and others, and yet (lit honor supposed that he could do jullice to my feelings and elm- after, by a private interview. If he haJ acted correctly, doubly avmed as he would have been, with his innocence and the 1 iw, he might have f.-t me at defiance.

As soon as the confeflion cl Clary war i | completed, it became necJlu y to fettle ; | tbe plan ol future operations.— How far | bis honor and GiU's united to ai range i j tl " s > impnffible to lay, but twice [ jin ore night, and at late hour* too was , J bis honor called fiom a private p.uiy at Mi.

After calling on gen.

The coupling the names of his honor, and Mr. Crawford by Glass, in his ltory to gen, Irwtn, vva< rants an opinion that the council of ihcle gentlemen Lad been united in the progress of this tranfaftion, for it is fcaroelv probable that Giafs of; Inmfelf, could have perfumed lo mention j their names iii the way he did to gen. | Irwin, to whom lie was an entire ftran- j ger unitfs he had received the function of j one or both of them therefor. Andi anctb'T circumftsnce which in s case of w* 1 ’ nature, l feel it a duty to mention 1 , ttiat in a hidden poftcript to tlie let-! ter lent by Glass to Judge Tait, to take the examination ol Clary, are theic! words ; “It would be wi 11 for Mr. j 44 Crawford to attend, as he is intcrdled ‘ ft 4 m the affair.” i licie words evidently ! ! relate to fome arrangement in which M■. j j Ciawford’s agency ietnis to be recogni- j ! fed, and the -affairin which he was Hated ; j to be interested, could be no other than j j tfiat to winch the letter rtierred ; (to ! jivitj the confeflion ot Clary, m whir 1 i if tvlr. Crawford had any in'er-.ft, it j could not be that of feeing that the; confeflion was so worded as to answer i the contemplated purpose. Mr. Craw. lord however it seems did not attend j the con ft fii an, but particular circumtlaYi- Sees induce a belief, that before the con i'tellion was sworn to, it was shewed to j him, and if so, the probability is, that it was for this purpose, that the Judge , declined fwcaring to it, when t.ie i conftflion was full taken, j The letter from Gial's to the Judge ; requctling his attendance to take Clary's j jcouhiflon has been (hewn to fev~ral p. r , lions, tr.-rn whom the part relating to’ j Mr. Crawford was cautioully concealed ;! and wiren it was accidentally difcovcred iby a gentleman, bis honor “appeared i “ mortified and concerned.” , In a t anlaction of this dark and mv.-- tcrious nature, when a bale and unprtcc deutco attempt lus been made to dtllroy the reputation o; au individual, by a moll cruel and malicious fabrication, ir was not to be expected that all the parties concerned, or all the circumllaiitcs ilius-{ native ot their guilt, Ihould rcadilv be’ dilcovcrcd by the party uijurcd, efpeci aliy when every ltcp was attempted to be guarded by artifice, and obfcure.l bv cunning.

In that case, for- I gery and a perjury wete atually erm ! mitted, in this the latte was;ommitted, j and the former evidently coit-.m plated, j When the confeflion of Cl 07 firft jeame into ny pofT. fliou, I c.nc’tuded at 0 :ce, that t-j complete the piee, the per foii* with whom he was cocerntd had furnifhed, or wait'd furnifh 1 letter and tie and of conveyance, having ny name for ged to them, for the pnrunfe it being ta -1 ken onto Coliins of North-Grolina, un 1 dcr a hope oi procuring his fanftion to the contemplated arrangemen.

I fliou'd not have here noticed 1 heft Icircumttances, eitner to txmerate n.y llelfs or fa the pu.-pofe of convicting jfucha being as Ciary, of iwearirtg to ;a lie ; but clearly to evince, that from jthe nature o! this Hory, it was intended j ■to forge bath a letter and a deed, if the j ;c<i operation of Collins could have been j lecured, and Giafs and Cary had ieen i him iri time to accompiifh ibis infamous j , ui i)..fe Clary, an abindoned wretch, who had I been “„ ce a t l e Jl condemned to death ; | and Giaf; th 11 going at large fry them- \ diligence of hi* hail,and who, it is said, j h id been coniulting Mr. Crawford,, and [ probably his ho or, how he fhouid heft I j meet the charge againli: him at Yolk county, in South Carolina, where he had been imp;Foiled for palling counter feit money. Thus laying out of view th.- probability, of cither Clary or Glass being capable or originating so cotr.plica ted and deadly a tnachinarion, tire mind naturally’ enquires for friftkimt motives for their so do ng.
