The pens of his Opponents have been dipped in gall, over¿owing in ebullitions of ill-will, misrepresentations, unfounded conclusions, and false reports and, the writers being men of mark and Of talent, very erroneous impressions have been made on the public mind, which must be disabused; and to this task I have addressed myself, with no wish to provoke hostility, but with a strong desire that the truth should be known.
