I thought he was then ad ing the put L of an honed in dependent man : and will further gratify the General by acknow ledging that 1 v/as forty for hav ing figned the certificate ; not bccaufc it contains any thing erroneous ; but becaufe it was not my wifh to hurt the fee lings of any man: he ought tore colled that the certificate is figned by two others befides my fie If, whofc credibility never yet has been impeached, and who (lands as high in the opinion , of the public a> even the Ge neral himfelfj ai d altlio’ he has a certificate figned by twelve gentlemen of refpedabllity - y it contains nothing that can be conflrued or turned even by the ingenuity of a lawyer to dilprove the truth of that certificate, which he \s pleaded to afk <c whe ther the juflnels of it was pre tended to be fupported n the houfe when he drew it forth.” Had the General informed the public by what means he got hold on that certificate, and that he pledged his honor to return it after raking a copy, and that he lias never yet com plied with his word, the public would have then determined what degree of credit ought to be given to the denial of Inch a man in dired contradiction of a certificate, figned by three perfons who have merited fome frare of public confidence. — The General ought to recolkCt that when he read his addreis to the I egifiaturc and called al:-vd for juflice ; that I moved for the quelhcn to be taken without debate ; with a requeft that thofe members wfia were abkat the day before fhould until it was decided j anti 1 am now lure that had the «medium been pur, the truth of that cer tificate (which !
