To rut: Euirons or rut; Pactnrruniix; Dear Sir: :—

Since your paper was first published. I have noticed. several times. slanderqu and un- trnihl‘nl rtatcinents respecting my character and doings. Ilitherto I have not thought it worth my time to notice them. ‘In youriuuc of Dec. 30th. appeared an article over the signature of “A LayiiiutI.” who, no doubt. thinking in advance the cause he professes to have so much at heart. has nudnciously slan- dered ms. The thought occurred to me that he could not be reckoned among tho. " “'ise Men." or he would not have adopted that method of accomplliliing his object. Any person of wisdom knows that when it man descends to the low. degrading office at tale- bcarcr atid slundct‘er. with the object of in- juring the good name of individuals. it looks as if all other good ground on which to rest their cause. had been swept away. itiid. as it were. in a death struggle. the last resort is to pull others down to tiic same level with them. wires. 1 am reminded of the saying of one of thc wiseuicu ufGrt-cec. when a friend ud- vised him to contradict the many slanderoux reports respecting him; he replied. “"l‘is no matter, I will endeavor so to hrsl that no one

Those who may have been dazzled by high-sounding words and theories. and persuaded to rob the com. own school to pay others. will now. pcrlups. remember that “all is not gold that glitters." Mr. hicllonald has been forced to “get by- liliid the lloard." and to cover up the rents III his scholastic reputation by having published it very general and coniiuon‘place resolution of the members. respecting his suppoch "icllulllllc abilities." This of itself is the worst thing he could have done. Let him come out openly. and clear himself from the charge of ignorance. if he can. and not take refuge behind generalities and assumptions. If llll.‘ iioard is satisfied with ids abilities. it is more than an awakened public is. We rc- comiueiid him to clear himself. especially in the matter of Latin and Geography.
