The charge caused me no piiin, lor it was untrup, it was made moreover with a want of logical candour, and accomcompinicd by a lusions which were not necessary to its etseite. I have kept tilence | hith rro, for it teemed to me that my accuser writing under an aasumei name was no: entitled to an answer. / Thit which I diny, liowevr, to him, J acknowledge is due to my fellow citizet.6, whose feeling* in the matter he has arouse.l. j I be£, therefore, to state publicly that I hold Iho Queen and her Throne in the deepest j reverence. He who would question this mu*t ) <^o b> in his own proper person, and not an'nymous'y in the columns of a.newspaper.N Gi anting tor the Bake of argument that I was placed in a compromising petition by my hosts of the Hitiernun Catholic BenenV Society a*, thrir late dinner, it would m become mo, their guest, to Bcek safety /or mytelf by laying the b'atne upon them. / 1 am, &0., / Chmues Lkndkick Macjwaw.
