In your paper of the 23d. Inst. you state that I am the author of a communication under the Signature of Benjamin Birdsail Junr Esquire which appeared in the Bee of the same date. [. . .] did this charge affect me only I should treat it with the same contempt I have the tissue of misrepresentation with which your paper has lately teemed against me, but as it is calculated to hold up Mr. Birdsail in the ^an^ odious light of appearing before the public and as my name is made use of for that purpose, it is due to him that I should declare, as I hereby do, that it is not true that I wrote the publication ^communication^ alluded to, ^or^ that I never ^ever^ conected it or suggested the matter it contains or that he ever advised or consulted ^<considered>^ with me with respect to the Contents of the communication or the propriety of its publication.

You will please to insert this note in your next paper.
