 Ajroang Uwycr, oF|h« name of Hagermiin, ctAUd at tb« Inn, to If 
 introduced to me, and,' in the course of converealion, I wm infnniK 
 fd tbatthe" had acted ae Town ptark, al the annoal Mectinft«iif Adol- 
 phuetown, where the people agreed at tu tto propriety "f raplviitff 
 to my Sutietical Queriee. A report was accordingly ippiwred «r, 
 eighed by the chairman, and brdered to be depueilcd lifflltidfiTtaut, 
 in the Kingttoi| Poet Office, addreeeed to me. "nilii duty wae ac- 
 cordingly done, but, our lawyer, having ufterwardt taken offence at 
 •bme of my wriAtnge, had the Report withdrawn from the Poet Of- 
 fiee. It did iiot require a momenVs eogitation t* teMe the point, tt^ 
 to the propriety and illfgality of tbiii act. DeHir^ Mr. llegerman, 
 dared to do lucb a thing, ev«u if tegat, he tbuuld tint have obtained 
 a meeting of the pe6ple of Adt^RhMtatovrn, and known /Acjr opinioiv 
 'on the subject. In the next plac^, it should have entered into the 
 •onsideration of all parties, whether t\ withdraw the Report waa 
 admissible by the lisr. 1 know and asdlrt that it was not. Thf 
 moment that any Irtter or packet is pu/f into the P^il Office, that 
 moment it becomes the property of him to whe^n^' is addreited^ 
 and neither^the flrHo^ner, noij^the master of 4h«4iOffice, hae tha 
 ■mallest> Qgbt to uscllbertlies wWb i'. Nearly two months *go, I 
 had prtTSte information that Mr. Macaulay hiid been Uking unwaiv ' 
 rantal^e liberties in this way ; but, as I am notW l^asty as some 
 people, I qmieily waited for information on the spot, and this case 
 
 f presented liielf without eff9rt, on my part. As i have, before, pub- 
 tcly stated, that an abundant flow of Township Reports had coma 
 into my hands, and that superabutdance was rather to be dreaded, 
 I cbuld bear tli^ deprivation of that entrusted to the fmihful and 
 ualoui Clerjiof Adolphustown, with perfect quiescence, and, in tha 
 best humour* , told Air. Ilagerman, that I shdufd commence an anii- 
 . cable sui't usainst'him, and the ma'ster of the Kingston Post Office ; 
 Init, Mr. llTwas not -contented to wait the award of law : he must 
 needs settle the question forthwith ; and, finding it impossible to 
 pVjDyoke me into passion, most unmercifully opened the sluices of 
 tihker eloquence against a Byestauder, who happened to give it as 
 his opinion that Mr. Uagerinan had done wrong ; and on my depar- 
 Itu^. the jack's of the Lawyer still quivered J

 StnntKai Gannanoque, a worthy Gentlemen, who had also withheld 
 a ^tistiral Report from me, under the evil influences of the tmieV 
 
 d ^e Doctor. Of all things I wish to sj(tak with those who have 
 been i^isled, by slhndtr, into suspicion of my character. Sneaking, 
 I consider, to be eflflracious at all tim^^s, against ghosts^ 1 missed

 ao far aa it regards the dabiAgea tiu me, will be equally good upon

 We have now to turn our attention to the second lettirr in course, 
 that of Hagierraan, which 1 shall cause to be reprinted by the 
 side pi this. It seems nstensively, to have been called forth, by the 
 flhnrt notice which I 'took of the writer, in the, part of this com- 
 munication,datcd.l2tK June, when I said as little of him as correct 
 narrative wouUi. admit. 1 had indeed been adviied to take no no- 
 tice Af him whatever, fwr, said a gentleman, " the least notice will 
 make him proud/' At that time, I bad been put in possession of 
 a Circular, wbicJi I was told Ilagerman bad profusely distributed 
 through Adolphustown ; but of this, a copy of which I shall insert, 
 I then despised to take account ^ indeed, the people o( Adolphue-. 
 town bad sufficiently replied to it at that time.

 1 have said above, that thiilfiiitl^ and that of the Pott Master of. ^ 
 Kingston, would have been below notice, but, for their connection 
 with serious concerns ; and, in. this respect I must beg the parti- 
 cular indulgence of the public, in developing, how this letter, imd 
 tiie conduct of its writer, became serious to me. 
 
 It must be remembered, that Hbgermvi the elder, wai charged, 
 h^ the Attorney General, with a serious prosecntion against ma,- 
 and had boasted of having this charge, fortnights before my arrest, ^ 
 
 which could not possibly be true. If/however, he bad theChargar 
 tent to him, by the Steam Boat which brought tpe to Kingston, th« 
 18th May, and thi» I believe was the case, then bis fifother couM| 
 very well be informal of it by the 20(h of that month, when I vi- 
 fited Ernest Towii. IKow, alfliough it did notoccur to me then^ 
 nor till the publication of liiE^ermau's letter, hereto annexed, and 
 till miich infoirmation otherwise, had reached me of the shocking 
 
 character, which both the brothers bore in the country, it did theu 4v#: 
 
 strike me, and the more i reflect on all circumstances, the mor^ 
 am I convinced, that froni'lhe beginning, a conspiracy was formed 
 to Mast my reputation, , and to prejudice the public mind every way* ' 
 
 against me, in order that these Mageriiian's, and tiie party in powerip' . 
 might be successful in bringing me t<i Condemnation. . " Yei," 8ay»» 
 the younger, in his infumous epistle, "ibe jaws of your lawyer, may

 thraw light, both on the character of the men and their niachiniitKt 
 tfoosrThey are clearly expressed, as if the writer was alieaiiy nsj. ' 
 tained to plead against me ; and no doubt, where tlie King Mas to liear< .

 raading th« mumxmI letter, the whole view of tho yilUnou* desigiM 
 •gaimt OM, flulMd eo my mind. I foand many ^ople. digMltd, 
 botji with this letter mi MacAoloy'i; but, noUdy coold teel m 
 strongly, or tee to cle«iriy<bn the subject — myself. I had just fin- 
 ished a tour, which bad cowinced m«, that a whole host from King* 
 •ton to Cornwall, was in arms affsinst the cause of tri|(^ ; — that 
 lawyers and magistrates, throagb this whole extent, were secretly 
 informed of Hagerman^s charge from the Attorney General, had got 
 bold in their confidence of my destruction, and were strnriog to has- 
 ten it by Uie foulest meaiw— not by slander only, but by arrestt and 
 violence. When I had seen all this, and passed throuih ^ ch>ad so 
 highly charged with combustion, was I to cower whin I came to tba 
 •oorce whence the vapours had risen, and was in near contact with 
 iha dffison*, who had eent them forth to pollute the air. May ter- 
 ttaaly, I UMaot to fear speaking the tmth, duMgh beset by liars or 
 assastins : 1 was not to dread toochi^ the wires wUch could df»w 
 forthanexplosion, best fitted to disphty to the world the true chanc>

 ceeding to my publicatippK, which worked up the evil •assfons oftliese 
 men to a suitable discharge^le ( us review Hagerman s writioga' mlfra 
 minately, now that they seem worthy of notice. , . 
 
 The Ciivokr is dated the aotb of May, the very day when I f nt 
 saw the writer at Ernest Town. I was accompanied there by Mr, 
 Washburn, and my only previous acquaintance, ia the village, was 
 Mr. McKay. They made me known to Dr. Bkker, andseveral other 
 people, who were at the tavern. All were civil to me, and 1 re- 
 turned their civility : a» to '* courting the applause of the spectatt^ri 
 by a disgusting affectation of low familiarity /' it b the very inven- 
 tion of a nutlicious rad lying spirit. I am the laat man in ^ world 
 to court applause ; and, in this country, where little iutorcourse with 
 rai.red society engenders much petty jealousy, and what the Trap 
 velier very early discovered, a conuderable pniportion of "false 
 pride," I nnd myself very frequently giving offence, msi iooocent- 
 ly, by «n indifforebce to trifles, and not recngniung individuals, 
 who, from circumstances, have become familiar with my appear- 
 anre> It is known to Uiose whom I have named, that llagfrman 
 desired to be iiitrodnccd tome as a private gentleman ; butuiarkthe 
 audacity whicb now declares be came only to see me with the 
 foelings of those who hear of a wild bcMt being in the neigbhdur* 
 ; Hmd : piitof his own muuth we condemu the hyp«'Crite. It is now 
 pretty clear, that he neither came as a genlleinun, wir one cur- 
 ious to see aspecude: but, for the beastly intention of creating 
 a brawl, fcir my discredit. I saw him advance in^ an attitode to 
 strike a person present:^! thnist myself between, and begged that 
 he would allow nie to keep, the peace. Wbeii I AmmkI nothing would 
 ^ settle his violent strain of abuse, towards the pem«>n with wb«m he 
 was qoarreling, I withdrew, and endeavouied, all I could, to get 
 otliDis to do the, same. My hack, it would appviir* was n«i.aoo^x

 •gainst lucb meo m the HaAenqan'tf calling one brothaf a black- 
 toiard was notbtng : it migbt b« said tbia is only your opinion.-^ 
 I told what I heard as true, that another of the brothers, who had ^^ 
 been confined for forgery, was now reported to be banged; and, it ia 
 an unquestionable fact, that this aian waa actually in custody and 
 examined for the crime of forgery at Montreal, but made bis escape 
 from iustica in CamuU. Do 1 injure any one by publishing such a 
 report, so mudi as I am injured by the alse publications and aseer- • 
 tions of HagemAui, who attacked me, before I Jiad given him the 
 slightest pfovoctttioo.— who had, with the most filthy seal, laboured 
 to bring sat todisgrpca and ruin i (f the man reported 16 ba hanged, 
 was still alive, he had reason to thank me for openly declariiig what 
 wassaidof him, that he might, at once, put an end to a atory sodii* 
 creditable to him and his family, Iw publishing tHe troth, or by auk" 
 4ng bis appearance, as any man of honor would do, to sUuid tothr 
 complaints preferred against him at law. If he was hanged for a 
 crime it was right that Uie public should be informed of tiw mt ; aad 
 thfiusefol impression be made, that justice may overtake the wickedi 
 even in their fli^tv Whether the man was hanged, or simply iniidf 
 his escape from justice, the fact should be h*ld in remembrance bjf . 
 >11, till truth and justice are satisfied; and, it ought to curb tba. 
 haughty spirit of his relations. Before my publication came out* 
 speaking of it to the Printer, I said that no truth should be conceal- 
 ed, which could humble the pride of the Ilagerman's. I had, but a 
 little while made this declaration, when the twobrothera made their 
 appearance before me, in the Printing Oflkre. Some EveHropper 
 had overlooked the proof sheet, and run tO apprise them of what 
 was coming forth. It is perfectly impossible to describe the fury 
 which they exhibiWd. At one time beseeching the Printer to with- 
 draw from the press what was preparing forit ; at anodier threatenr • 
 ing me and lauoching forth the most awfoil oaths and imprecations. 
 Their argument to Ae Printer, was, Itfsat they had a mother and air* 
 ten whose feelings would be injured. I told the Printers, that I bad 
 not ouly a moUicr and 8isters,vbut a wife and children, to whom my 
 .'character was dear,-^tfaat he haid admitted into bis paper every sp^ 
 cies of sla^nder against my c)iaracter ; and, that since h« badpoUisIl^ 
 ed such fiOsehooda, which misht go hooM to England, hesboirfdnot ; 
 'flinch from doing his duty in jwhusbing truth. Seeiog that neither 
 Imprecations nOr threats could succeed,the younger Hagerman, came '■ 
 Mp to me, and said, ''Mr. Gour&y, let me entreat yoii, in mildnes% ^ 
 io^ithdrnw your publication.*' " Sir, s«d li sioce yo«t entreat ttOif 
 in mildness, I shall make you this olfer,— insert in Una day's nawi. 
 jwper, a^ apob>gy for your letter to me, which appeared in the last 
 ,Ga^ette, and, the article you complain of, shall be instantly witl^ 
 IdrawjDi.'' Hagennan stepped backwardsr-^swore a At adfid oath, and
