Sir,
I find that a letter from tnyfilf
r M r . Mathews, while he wis
Clerk cf the Courr, has this day
made its appearance i the Argus,
A few words will explain the uu*.h
of this IV j it. I had realons to
believe t/a. a Mr. IVPDoIe would
t-ikf* out lcire facial’s in the caff s
alluded to, and being an acqu iint
are of mine, I informed the Clerk
ottV i.mwith the view of le
cuiing : > him the rght of informa
tion. B u -nth 1 rg further was ever
done in r;e premifes, and I m fi
101-m dv declare that I never afked
r r received a fingle cent in the
eafr:’.. :he following certificates
of M'di’is. M ithevrs a<d Kenan will
fiipport -he for* g irg remarks, and
at tne LiiUtiust fhew to my Itllow
cii zens with what diabolical morives
tne letter was pu’oldhed. I may al
