the fire would have extended -fartlier.‘ .En-

he offers no apology for the insi-rtion of the
following plain stateiizeut offacls.
On the 19th of August last, we caused to
be inserted in the N. Y. Sun, the following
advertisement:

As the advertiser has already experienced a
few of the bent:/‘its arising from a connection‘
with a WEAKLY publication, it is hoped llial no
one will apply. whose estahlishnicnt is not pla-
cetl on a firm basis. —
Among other answers to the above, we
received the following letter.‘
“ NEW YORK. Aug. 21. 1839.
“ Sm-—You may find employinentas a part-
ner ii: the town of Stamford, Conn., at the Seu-
iinel Office. Mr. McMillan, I lliiuk. is the
name of the editor. A. M. BoU'roN."
Having visited Stamford -.1 sliorttime pre-
vious, and having old acquaintances in the
vicinity, we repaired-to that town, in order
to ascertain the value of what we supposed to
be his own establishment, and make a bar-
gain accordingly.
05-lice, we found him busy at work -; and as
soon as we mentioned our businrssby refer-
ring to the above letter, he shook us cordially
by the liand,-4-xpresscd great satisfaction in
seeing us at such 3 “critical tirne,” and as-
sured us that if we would iiniiietliat-c-ly “take
hold,” and assist him in getting out a full
number ofthc pzipvi‘, he would effect an ar-
rangement with us on “ very favorable
terms.”
the type, &c. in the office, that in order to
get out a paper that week,not a moment was
to be lost, and under no other impression
but that he was tbeiowner of said office, we
returned immediately to New York., intend-
ing to settle matters there, prt-paratory to be-
coming a resident of Stamford. After relin-
quishing an engzigeincnt in that city which
promised to be of material value,» we return-
ed to Stamford, and at his most earnest C71.-
[re/1,lie.\', we consented to commence our bu-
siness in that place, as ‘co-partner in the con-
cern,—agrce.ing to defer drawing , up wri-
tings till a more favorable opportunity
should present itself for taking a correct in-
ventor-y of the office. A
As, soon as the paper referred to, (No.18)
had been published, we again returned to
the city, where we ascertained, by accident,
from his former paxrmer, that he was not l/l-8|
owner o_/it‘/re" nfiicé, but that it was divided in-
tola nuii:be' ofshares, owned -by influential
men inihat place, whoallowed the free use
ofthe materials for the commendable purpose
On questioning the above editor touching?
these points, and on inquiring the value of
the amount" of stock he held in the establish-
ment, he reluctantly acknowcdged that the
“ stoclr”‘which he owned was of no great
account, -adding that we could ourselves de-
termine its value. I-‘inrling that the only
stock which he could ('laim to -be the owner
of wasl_nc-ither more nor less than an old
bom.bazz'rie stock uiit/rout a, buckle, we taxed
"him with deception, when he very ingenious-
ly argued that he did not .mg/ the office was
his, although he adii.=iti't-d his iacliovis indica-
-ted it. .
\’Vhile on our first return to ‘New ¥oi'k_
at the time be supposed we had concluded to
remove to Stamford, we received the follow-
ing letter, which, with the others, we copy
from theoriginal: . , , .

The object _of this agrcenicnt was. to prevent
one individual from reaping the advantages
which it was supposed might accrue from

After wd were. fairly installed, "we l soon
became undeceived in regard to the. true
bearings of the case. We found thutwe had
associated ourself with a designing and art-
ful Scotchman, who had been landed in New
York but two or three years previous, and
whose sole knowledge of the" business had
been picked up by loafing around different
printing-offices in the city. By this time,
also, we had performed the task of ‘adding
up the number of subscribers, whicb',as near
as memorylcan recal them, was as follows :-

soon transpired which inductd us I0 llllhlt
upon a separation at no distant day. When
we frankly stated our intention to him, he
admitted the poor prospcct there was of over
placing the Sentinel on a firm footing; and
advised us to attempt to regain the situation
quaintance with the orthography of our lan-
ing a small shelf affixed to the wall over
his “case,” to accommodate a dictionary,
which he so often found it necessary to con-
sult—we made no exertion to procure "him
the situation which he so earnestly sought.
About this time, the project of starting the
“ Village Gazette” was accomplished, “for
the purpose,” as he tells us, “of accommo-
ting our friends at Portchester.” The suc-
cess which the first number met with, be-
guiled us both into the belief that a better
prospect demanded our united exertions in
making one more endeavor to estiblish the
press beyond the donations of its friends.
“Things went on smoothly,” if we except
some misgivings we experienced when we
heard our late -partnerifrequently -throw out
‘“ dark hints” relating to “soon receiving
'help’_’--that we should soon be “agreeably
surprised,”-—-we should soon have "lots of
inoney”—that we “didn’t know what was
coming”-——and other expressions of like cba_-
racter. From a few uiiguarded expressions
which at different times caught our ear, the
conviction flashed across our mind, that he

it had been currently reported that the pub-

made, a number of personal friends in the
town had told us in a spirit of candor. that
it was their opinion that the business con-
which we had vacated by lcaving N. York,
at the same time, begging of us‘to interest
ourselfin his behalf, while we were in the
city. As we could not conscientiously re-
commend, as a printer, a foreigner whose _ac-_.

his last n-.ii:.br.-r, in connection with many
jhasc insinuations, which cannotbe better re-
jllltlc-‘(l than by referring to theicandor ofthose
l'ndividunls_to whom the fact of our intended
ldissolution was well known.‘ . _
The second day of our residence here, we
received the following ‘letter : y ' A
- - "Stamford Oct 12th 1839
"-Sir’-—I consider your conduct luwards me
very ili-gracefiul indeed, (SC also very insulting.
Ifyou do not come down to make a settlement
with me immediately, l shall sue you for dama-
ges. Ishall continue Ilie Sentinel as long as a
sholreinains in the locker Yours
\V. A. l\1cMu.x..uc."
In accordance with the wish expressed in
his letter, we took the first conveyance to
Stamford, when we were informcdby gen-
tlemen whom we saw in the office, that he
had gone to the city, but was expected-to re-
turn that afternoon. We therefore wiiitcd;
and as we saw it was contemplated to carry
on the. paper, we personally assisted at case,
while remaining there. This, as well as
the preceding statements, canibe siibs_tantiat-
ed by the testimony of persons whose vera-
city is not to be impugned.
‘As be neither returned that afternoon nor
the following day, we left the place, and did
not see him again till he paid us a visit at
this ofiice on Monday evening, the l4tli,
when l)(3‘I'.l'3ll'.'Z1l’lClCtl a key which we had 1-4;,
tained, but which we refused to deliver until
we had secured a consignment of goods, of
the value. of zieaur s-ix.’_z/ dollars, which still
remain in that office. ' j '
He then returned to issue No. '24 of his
paper;. and as he found we were erigaged in
a situation to which it was not lilac-lv he could
lever aspire, be commenced an zittacik upon us
in i-lie hope of bringing his p-.2p_er into noiicn_
This is n sp« ciuicn of his gratitude to us for
our labors for the vstalilishnicnt night and
day-—-for procuring the first paid cit_7/ adver-
tisement wliicli. ever appeared iii, his colum7i.s
< —for enabling him to spend double I/in time
in post-ridiiig, scrriizg papers, <5-c.——for our
ceaseless endeavors to give a respectable
standing to the Sc-ntinel—for our willing
outlay of cash to further the interests of the
office—and for our increasing the subscrip-
tion list to nearly double its former 7tu_mber,°
—for these, andnumerous other benefits we
have conferred on that establishment, we re-
ceive the most vile insinuations which it is
possible for a miscreant who hails from that
part of Scotland which gage him birth, to be-
stow upon the victim of his cunning decep-
tion and unparalleled duplicity.
As he has accused us of “ Swartwouting,”
by us during the whole time of our connec-
tion with that luc«ratz'1:e concern. ‘We copy
from memoranda made at the time: I
