Do these words not instantly throw tight, both on thf character of the men and (heir machinations. They are ehai!\ expressed, as if the writer was alread) retained to plead against me ; and tin doubt, where the Khi^ was to b?ar the expense of prosecution, the one broth <i wdiilu naturaify brin^ the otli^f info practice, so creditable and ^ure of pro- lit, especially, if they could carry the point at issue. On my arrival at Kiny,s- 'dii, and en reading the annexed let-1 ter, the whole view of the villanous de- ci;yn« against me, (la-hed on niy mind. I found many people, disgusted, both | vn ith thib letter and Macau lay's ; but, nobody could feel so strottgly, or see] so el'arly on t!ic subject as myself. I had just finished a tour, which had convinced me, that a whole host from Kingston to Cornwall, was in arms against the cause of truth ;—that law¬ yers and magistrates, through th« h hole extent, were secretly informed of Hagennan's charge from the ,\ttor-j ney General, had i^ot bold in their con- fidenee if my destruction, and were sfnvins to hasten it by the foulest means—not by slander only, but by arrests and violence. When 1 had -eeu all this, and passed through a cloud fo highly charged w'th combus¬ tion, was I to cower when I came to [the source whence the vapours had ri- vn, and was in near contact with the da?mons, who had sent them forth to 1 pollute the air. No. certainly, ! wa- not to fear Speaking the truth, though beset i)) liars or assassins : 1 was not to dr^ad toui-liiug the wires which could draw forth an explosion, be.-t fitted to display to the wurJd the true character,1- f>f m *n, combined lor pur¬ pose she most diabolical. Before pro- ceedinnto my publication, which v>oi li¬ ed up the evil passions of these men to a suitable discharge, let us review 11n- i^ennan^ writings more minutely, now j that they seem worthy of notice. TheCircokris dat d the L20th of May, the very clay v\hen { lir^f saw the « riter at Kfnesst Town. 1 was ueeom- panied there by Mr. Wahburn, and my only previous acquaintance, in th< rillaee. nth Mr. McKay. They mad • me known to Dr. Baker, and several Other people, who were at the tavern All were civil to me,-and I returned theif civility : a- to " courting the ap¬ plause of the spectators by a dis^n^t- m% aflectation of h w faniiliarity,11 i' is the very iuvt-ntion of a rha!icix>Us and iviim -pirit. 1 xru the ias' man in th.*- uer'd fo t - art flppljUT e ; and in this country• where little ir»terconrse with mixed -ociety eiigen ers much W*tl\ jealousy, and what theTrayelbr ver* I earh disc ve/ed, a considerable pro-' portion of* false pride," I Rod my-i li very frequently g|vit|«! oiierfCe, most iuutfccotij., bv an indiii'erencc to tiilies. familiar with mv apperira(K>0.

It is how pretty char, that he !nei»hereameajia gentleman, nor one curious to see a spectacle : but, for iUr beastly inteiitnlu of creating a brawl, fnrmydiscredi,. j saw ;lim aaVauce in an attitudb to strike a person present : 1 thiu^ myself bctwt^Mi, and begged thai he .vo,l!(i ailou. me to keep the peace. \\hen 1 found nothing w ould settle hi, violent strain of abuse, towards the per.0I, with whorn he was 1 withdrew, and endea¬ voured, all 1 could, to get others to do the same. My back, it would appear, was no sooner turned than he took upj his pen and wnite the above Circular, to the inhabitants of Adolphustown. He speaks ofdi?jiig this as a duty ; why I did he not sooner perform his duty? The answer is plain ; his motive before now was not s/> strong : lie had not. till now, the morive of succeeding in his pl?adings against rtie, in n Court oi Justice, by previously defaming my character, a lid thereby biasing tMejud^*- ineiits of jury nun. lie had withdrawn the Repori., under the iniluence of an illiberal, silly, and officious disposition, readily bending an carlo 4ander : but. only halt ('oniiin.ed in the propriety of his proceedings, see how he end. a-! vours to blink the truth, by -ayin- h. u did not forward the Report," thus making himseli appear oni_y a pa-.-iv janent. instead of the active one win had withdrawn the Report uff.r he had forwarded it.— The circular exhibits v. feeble attempt at rarious kinds of decrption ; altbo it ;s evidently two I hard tor Satan to kick a-ain t the pricks. He talks of the houor done hint bv the fnhabitant> oi' Id.', native Tow re hip to iiaiter t \\t ,n into a con* tinuanee of doing him u.>uor, while the comia.t, of »ev being deserted by | friends and Relutlom^ may the betto incline them to hi side.

If the man reported to be hanged, was stil j alive, he had reason to thank me for openly declaring what was said of him, that he might, at once, put an end to a story co discreditable to him and hi- family, by publishing the truth, i r by making his appearance, as any man ol honor would do, to stand to the com- j whip :—my antngonifl obferve plaints preferred against him at law. ] and teizing hold, had an unfair 17he was hanged for a crime it was : iiht that the public should be inform- ed of the fact ; and the useful impres- •ion be made, that justice may over- tnk(l the wicked, even in their lli^ht. Whether the mail was hanged, or sim¬ ply made his escape from justice, the fact should be held in remembrance bv all, till truth and justice are satisfied, and it Ought to curb the haughty spirit j ofhis relations. Before my publica¬ tion came out, speaking of it to the Printer, i said that no truth should be concealed which could humble the pride of the Hagermans. 1 had, but a little while made this declaration, when the two brothers made their ap¬ pearance before me in the Printing Of¬ fice. Some Eves-dropper had overlook- | ed the proof sheet, and run io apprize them of what was coming forth. It is equally armed. A whip was handed me and I advanced to chaUaiitfe bim, which was no fooner done, than 1 was (truck, andacoutcll enfucd. For good twenty five years 1 had not engaged iu battle, and to be fure on tbia'occafion, 1 mewed a fad want of practice, though at fchool, I had ranked as an adept, f took no care to bundle up the lafh of my a this, £ uuu, ii*»u an uuirui oppor¬ tunity of ftrikina me repeatedly on the head. His blows only helped to a\vak« en me to the ft range occafion, and I he. #an to feel confident, that bottom, with every * .kwardnefs, would prevail over fury. Now, howQver, the magiftratc, who, 1 wjis told, had tor fome time, qui. jetly Hood aloof, feized me by the ar<n and required of me to keep the peace__. Ke no iooner did this than a gentleman j called out, that Hagerman was the ag. Igt-ilor, and required the magtftrate to rake his depofitioa, that the offender fiSould be fet ured ; but, this the maais, ufed to do ; and I had af'cr. wards to order an arreft and prufecutten, oti my own oath. To put this on recj-rd i*3 not plea fa nt to me. Of all thing!?, I have a horror at flreet brawls, and nev¬ er before, fince grown to manhood, wm n .[ I a party in one ; but, it:it will add to perfectly impossible to describe the fu- t|le proofs of rhe ghandoned Mate of gnu ry w hich they exhibited.

On turning round I saw the elder Hagerman, running furi¬ ously towards us. with a targe loaded whip. I separated from the rest and stood theassault. I had before resolv¬ ed on my conduct, viz. if possible only to defend in)sell, and, J believe, this resolution was strictly adhered to.— What 1 felt, on the occasion, more se¬ vere than the blows, was, that not a single person seemed to care for i..y sit¬ uation, aftei the ruilian struck at me for a considerable time, with the heavy end nt his whip ; and seemed every way bent cm committing murder.
