Mr. Editor,
[ observe that Mr, Korthaus is
brought inte view as a candidate for
the Assembly. Iam acquainted with
Mv. Karthaus, and know him to be a
man of honor, honesty and integrity.—
But, since he has become a candid. te
for office, it is rumoured that he was
one of those concerned in the BAL-
TIMORE MOR. I would like to
have some info: mation on this subject.
I am aware that it is only when a man
hecomes a candidate for office
faults are fished for; and from this
cause I am far from giving credit to
every idle tale, told of those wio are
brought before the public for pubic
favor. I wish you to give this publici-
ty, in. order that My Karthaus may
have a chance to rebut tbe charge,
