Mr. Allison and paid over fjqm time to time 1
to one or the other of us; yip last part of
which I think was not finally received until
the year 1830. In July of .that year hear
ing that Mr. Porter was going to the wes
tern, countty, Mr. Stonebraker and I reques
ted him to take Beaver in his way, and
gave him an order on Mr. Allison for the
balance of tho money, which balanco a
mounting, after deducting, fees or commis
sions fdr collecting, to .$15959 was br.ought
in by Air. Porter and paid over to mo on
the 13th day, of August, 1830. George
Davis also sent out by Mr. Porter at the
same time, for some balanoc due him on
his.bondt which heboid mo Mr. Porter got
and paid over to film. David I?. Porter
was never interested-to the amount of one
Hollar in ,the collection of these bonds.
Why the suits do not appear for our use on
the records, I am not lawyer enough to say:
It is best known to, our attorney, to whom
the management of the whole business was
given. The assignment which was endors
ed on Mr. Allison's tecoipt for tho bonds,
,was perhaps, in our possession, unti) the.
money was collected, and then delivered up
to our said attorney.
The abovc statempnfi from my present
recollection, I belieyo to be strictly correct:
although . I , possible may be mistaken in
some immaterial matters, such as dates, a
mounts, &c.
I have only, in conclusion, to say, that
the conduct of David It. Porter in every
particular throughout tins uhole transac
tion, was marked with the strictest integri
ty and fait dealing. . .

The, real history of the case is this;
Edward B. Patton was indebted to the Cen

to $1500; and David It. Poitcr became his
endorser; for which ho was sued arid execu

and paid the debt, with a considerable a-
mouut of accumulated interest. He sold
tract of land, in order to repay his sureties,
as he was bound by every tie" of honor and
honesty, to do, and assigned over to tliem

A scene of this kind beggars all descrip

GEN. DAVID REPORTER,

In oui columns will bo found several

Congressional District'. The Inlolliencer
has been for several weeks.abusimrMr.Mc-
Reynolds with the hopo of preventing him
lrom entering the field in opposition to the
Doctor knowing, full weil, that if that event
did happen, that the Doctor could not re
ceive the nomination from' the democratic
party of the county. The .tiickery made use
of bV hmi. two years since to effdCt hls.eloc
tion, and which has now becorao well under
stood, has aroused tho democracy of the
county, to a sense of their abused and in
sulted rights', aud they look with indigna
tion upon the originators of the fraud prac
tised upon them at that time. They are now
well aware of tho faction they have to con
tend with, and of tho means that will ba
made use of to again defeat their favorite
candidate; but it will not all do the democ
racy will be heard not only in tho county
convention, but at the polls, in a manner
not to be misunderstood, and John McRey

Tho above is from tho Darivillo Intelli
