I accept of this underhand effort as the best proof that I have done my duty, and redeemed my pledges. It is'a sure sign of a man’s poliical rectitude when he has bitter political enemies who resort to every meabs, fair and foul, to weaken his position arid influence. I cannot follow my opponents fn the mode of political warfare they haveUd optedbut I canjcounteract their secret misrepresentations and calumnies by calling upon them to meet me on a public platform, when) they shall have an opportunity to make any accusations they think fit, and I will be abje to defend myselfI fully intended meeting the electors at an early opportunity, to give an account of the past session, and it is now imperative 1 should do so at once. I therefore challenge my a,ccusors to appear on the platform ,of the Masonip Hall, THIS EVENING (MONDAY), 7th inst., At eight o'clock,. And say in public what they have got to say; and I now respectfully invito the blcctovs to attend on that occasion, to hear the charges and the answers made. I have also to request that all judgment on .any matter at issue be suspended till both! sides of the question are stated. At present, some of my friends say the requisition is a transparent dodge to lessen my influence in the Assembly.
