MR CARGILL AND CAVERSHAM.
TO TUB EDITOR. Isiß,— Mr Cargill, in his Mantle efforts to justify bimsoit re road at St. Glair, is sinking deeper into the mire. In his letter to you of last evening he insinuates that I only published a portion of the correspondence. Now you know, Dr Editor, that 1 handed to you unreservedly ail the letters thereon with Mr Cargill and his solicitors, and left it to you to publish such as you thought of public importance, including that portion Mr Cargill had not pub'ished. I leave the public to judge who was guilty of suppression. In the same letter Mr Cargiil again makes a rash Statement. Ho says the Council proposed to buy what is termed the “ rooky knoll ” This I deny, and challenge him to the proof. Really it seems a write of time to argue with Mr Cargill. Why does be not disprove the assertions made ? When he has dohe that, the virtuous indignation he cloth- 1 himself with would fit properly. Mr Cargill bai the aesitJahoa of a shoal of anonymous correspondents, some with polity il, others with per. onal axes to grind. These I treat with rontorap:, and say that it they have a legitimate grievance, let them have the manliness to appear in their true colors.— I am, etc., ',/illiam Brags. Caversbam, September 6.
