In this communication we are directly
charged with being concerned in a "plot"
against neighbor Bosbyshelt, having for
its ultimate object collision and division
among the members of the Dinitocratic

We, therefore, in the first place, plead
"not guilty;" and; in the second place, call
for the proofs, node having yet beeh ex

ever, we will observe, that our remarks
were predicated upon an extract from the
published proceedings of the Senate of
'Pennsylvania, and that we had ll ' clear
right to attach fiat three and credit to the ,

false. The' only proof yet adduced of the
