, A few .days before this fetter was written, and
about a day previously to the receipt of Messrs
Richmond k Thompson's letter, the Rev Mr.
Boyd visited Savannah, and not knowing the
precise state of negociations with other persons,
and conceiving there could be no impropriety
in receiving other ettimatet, did receive one from
Messrs Lewis Ik Swift. On returning from Sa
vannah, he met Benj. Holt, Esq. at Purysburg,
who, informing him that he had in possession a
letter, of the tenor of the foregoing, from the
secretary of the committee to Messrs Richmond
k Thompson, was requested by Ml’. Boyd to de
liver it to him, that it might be returned to the
committee for further consideration. Captain
Holt knowing Rev. Mr. Boyd to be chairman of

have rendered it necessary fur us to up-
pegr before the public in vindication of our con
duct in matters of private concern ; but having
seen'u hand-bill, published on the 18lh ult (and
which.we understand has liecti extensive!} cir.
ciliated; by. John Moore, of Savannah, Georgia;
in which he undertakes, by what he is pleased
to cull “a plain unvarnished tale,” under the
specious head of “The Church” addressed “to
the inhabitants of Black Swamp,” to implicate
and arraign our conduct before the public, us re-
gurus our not.having given to hit friends Rich-
tftond ti Thompson, Clark £J Lttffborongh, me
chanics of Savannah, the contract for building a
Church at Robertvillel 3. C —A decent regard
to public opinion, anil h wish (harour friends (as
.well us the friends of the thrhtian edate) should
have to them the grounds of our. conduct ex
plained in the matter, we are induced to submit
the following statement , f
Pitting the last winter, the undersigned, in
conjunction with Rev. II. A.’ Boyd and Col. Tris
tram VcWtiHe (both of whom aie -nowatthe
North; were appointed a Committee, or Hoard
of Managers, to provide for and superintend the
erection of a Baptist Meeting Bouse at Robert
ville.S.C.
In executing the trust thus reposed in them,
the GomniiViee drew a plan and advertised that
they Would receive proposals until the 1st April.
On that day when met. to examine and consider
the estimates received, it .was found that none
came within the views of the committee i they
consequently, determined to continue longer to
receive propisdli, and again advertised to tluat cf
feet. Tlie Committee afterwards had various,
meetings, With a view of executing with fidelity,
th<{ A rust, committed, to them by the Church ;
but not thinking it necessary, kept no particu
lar record of tiieir meetings or deliberations. It
may be prop'br to state,'that about this time, or
suhsvquently, the said Mr. Mtiore, being at llo
berivifle* urged the Committee to give his
friends in Savannah an opportunity of sending
in proposals; and tendered bis services tn the
Committee, to treat, in their behalf, with sundry
builders fu Savannah; he consequently became,
in some ineusuie, the.medium ot communication
between tlic committee a id the sai l builders.
Having received, on or about 1st May last, the
proposals of the sai l Messrs Richmond &
Thompson, kc and not fully understanding
them, the committee requested their Secretary
to enquire iifo their specific meaning, through
the tpediym of Mr. Moore: accordingly, .the
Secn’ti/yi 1“ 11 private letter to Mr Juudoii of
Savannah, requested liim to call on Mr. Moore,
inform him of the matter of misunderstanding
In this letter it was
turn of their chairman, and unequivocally a/».
proved the act of detaining the letter until they
couhl take into consideration the proposals of
Messrs Lewis ti. Swift; as unquestitinahly. it
tons exclusively their o-wn property and at their
own disposal, until delivered to whom addressed.
We think it very clear.that the committee had
a rightful control over theittown acts, and could
receive and alter their revolutions ns they please,'
so long as those act's were... not officially or
special'y communicated to Other persons and
thereby become obligatory on them. By
what means Messrs Richmond ti Thompson,
Moore, or any one else citild have become
acquainted with the tenor of our (sealed)
communication, or even that any at all had been
written, we know not, nor do we think material.'
We readily acknowledge the .fact, that such a
letter was written, and intended to be forwarded,
without conceding the point,that we werethere-
by, either in honor or in a legal point of view,
under an obligation to carry into effect what we
Imd thus silently and transiently purposed. Had
our letter been delivered to Messrs. R. & T,
the case would hgve been materially altered t
but certainly the cogitations or casual determin
ations of our minds wicjmmunicaied, should not
be viewed in the sacred tight of u contract,- if so,
the committee would have beer/ under prior ob
ligations, to other applicants than Messrs. Rich
mmid Ik Thompson, It is well known to men
of business that circumstances of this nature
frequently occur, in which a similar course of
procedure is both expedient and necessary. We
are therefore at a hiss to know'thepm/ grounds
of eensure with which the committee are im-
pugned by Mr Moore, either as.regardsuA<? sup
pression of the aforesaid letter, at, ,the contract
not having fteen ultimately given to his friends.
We cannot agree with Mr Moore that said letter
wusthe'propertyofMessrs, Richmond & Thomp
son, us it hud never been delivered them, on to
any person for them except the friend and agent
of the committee, Capt Holt, who,being one of
the subscribers to tfye building, and in. common
with the committee and others^ solicitous that
the most judicious contract should be made, may be
considered; in effect, a party concerned.
The several charges alleged against the’Rev
Mr Boyd, we think shameful and entirely desti
tute of the least shadow of foundation. He is
charged with “denying his being possessed ofthe
aforesaid loiter, until it was about to be proved
to be in his possession ” ‘ Thu fact Was, that' he
delivt red tl{e said letter 10 (a majority of) the
committee on the afternoon of the same day that
he received it, and on which it was written^ at
the same time informing them the occasion of
his haring brought it back: lie therefore could
have had no opportunhy, or occasion to have
made such denial while it was in.his possession
The charges of acting “hypocritically” and
“eta uleslinely” are equally shameful and un-
complaint,) the extn rated part ofthe Commit' •
tee are entirely at a loss to sn i ■ how Mr vloure
could make so wide a discrimination: nor can
they, without doing greut .violehce to their feel
ings and to justice, by silence^ give their impli
ed sanction to the unwarrantable attack which
has been made upoUthe characters ofthe remain.
ii(g part of their body, in the publication of Mr
Moore .
We might say much with regard to the
malignity of that production, and how'Hide it
should be regarded,- oht, we desist s our object
is not to injure the standing or reputution ofuin
man; but only to show to all reasonable, gooi.
men, that the Board of Managers of the lilac)
Swamp Meeting (louse, do not deserve the ce.
sines so industriously attempted to be alnxed i
them.'
From what has been stated, we are decided’
tli an ■
for M
Moore's ill,muured animadversions upon ttTe
conduct and character of the Committee; and
tlmt should a dificrcncb of opinion have existed
between him and them, (Ait difference was at
tributable to other-motives limn tll <se With
which he is pleased to.characte^ize them.
. We would simply further remark, that the
bare assertions of an individual, unsupported By
the least shadow of evidence, ought not to‘ be
received as conclusive against the character and
conduct of an associated community, Whose
standing in sooiety is fair and unimpeachable.

our decided opinion, that they were consistent
with truth. As regards his “clandestinely bar-

circumstance of no contract having been closed
with any one, proves the change to be grossly
incorrect. And ns regards his “hypocritically
denying to the committee that he htid made any

that, so far from engaging with them, he discour

“SAVANNAH, May 3,1824.
'Mr. A. I. Xawtox,
Sir—Mr Moore called on us this morning to
inform us. you had received our estimate,but did
Sot understand whether we were to haul tlie
lumber or liot. Our calculation was to deliver
che lumber on the spot ourselves, and do all the
work for the sum stated in our estimate, and in
tlie manner stated. He also said, if our calcula
tion included hauling, we might consider that
w:? could put up the Churcli for you. Should
you wish to contract with us, \ye should like to

we will decline offering for until we hear from
you,,, , .

- < J. B. RICHMOND.”
i From 1 the above letter it will be clearly seen
that Messrs R 8t T. did not consider the iiego-
ciation a* having terminated in a contract; and
to giye the candid enquirer after truth in tins
matter, the most positive proof that the commit
tee did not so regard it, the following reply ("’Inch
by the bye. was not delivered to Messrs R. 8t 1 )
is subjoined.
“ROBERTVILLE, S. C. 7th May, 1824!
From the explanations given in your favour
last-received, the building committee have in
structed me as their secretary, to inform you
the journey tor nothing. He merely advised
him to send his estimate; which the Secretary
would lay before the Committee (if in time) and
return him an answer. It is true that Mr Boyd
gave Mr Lewis a seat in his gig from Purysburg;
but it was because Mr Lewis was determined to
o to Robertville, contrary to his advice; and as
e could not get a conveyance otherwise, and
made an attempt to walk) Mr Boyd, as an act of
humanity, prevented his walking 'twenty miles
on a sultry day, by giving him a seat.
Since the exhibition of Mr Moore’s extraordi
nary production, all matters and things therein
contained and expressed, as, well as the entire
proceedings ofthe committee, have been 'sub
mitted to the Church, foririveUigation The re
