THE subscribers had the misfor tune of being swindled out of a quantity ot Cotton some tune ago at a store in the City of Charleston, which was made public in South Carolina and Georgia, bv adver tisements m different Newspapers. They have had the greater misfor tune, in their anxiety and zeal, to discover the swindler unjustly, and lashlv to form a suspicion that Dr. George A. Brown of Wrightsb >- rough, in Columbia county ami State of Georgia, was the person "ho committed the fraud ; and at a religious congregation of citizens, at the house of William Halbert Eso. in Pendleton district South Carolina, publicly char bed him with the act. Dr. Brown, Mke tho man of hon or and integrity, has futlv convin ced ns of our great mi.take and j and in consider of our being poor men, that we had been actua ted by mistaken, an 1 not mulevo lent motives, has charitably and generously forgiven us. While we icknowlcdge mat Dr. Brown has at in his powtr to ruin every indi vidual ol iik, and distress our fauii, lies. We voluntarily tome forward and do solemnly declare in open court, at Pendleton Court House, and to all the world, our mistaken and erroneous conduct towards the said Donor George A. Brown— we testify hi* innocence—we thank him lor Ins honorable and gentle manly conduct ; and we declare our regret and sorrow for ihe inju ries his feelings may have susuun ed. We are satisfied that Doctor George A. Brown is a man of the first respectability, of an excellent character, aud that his conduct in life, from childhood, has been irie proachable. We can neither say or do too much to redress the h cl ings of Dr. Brown, or to vindicate Ins name & character.—We never will It rget his honor and generosi ty in forgiving us for tile wrong we have inadvertently done him, which we believe arose from the similarity ol features, between the person who swindled and cheated us out or our property, and the fea tures of the said Dr. George A. Brown. G c desire that this declaration may be made pubtick in the New-papersof Charleston, S.
