SIR — It is never my wish to prevent any man from speaking the truth, either in private or public ; and I do assure you that I shall never pursue you through a court of justice to prevent you from so doing. But, if In asking my leave to speak, you mean to perjure yourself without mercy and without end, I have more sense and spirit about me than to allow it. Sir, you talk about the meanness of consulting a lawyer about your libels ; but the meanness rests with you, who wan-j dered from the truth, and not with me in trying to restore yosj to sanity. fl You ask me, — Have I not weighed goods in my shop witaa loaves for weights, and allowed one ounce to every pound for "short weight?" My answer is plainly and emphatically — mo. You seem very desirous to show your antipathy to my friends who signed a paper on my behalf, and would try to injure their respectability, if it, would only cost you less money. Oh thou money-loving wretch 1 Thy dark hypocrisy wears too flimsy a disguise to conceal the cloven foot it walks with ; and you are so steeped in the love of gold that you will make shipwreck of your character, because it will cost you a few pounds to save it. There is an old proverb and a true one, which was familiar in your school-boy days, though your have forgotten it now, " A good name is better than riches ;" and it is very much to be regretted that age has given neither spirituality nor manliness to your character. As you are still " blessed with the privilege of using your pen," I hope you will spare no bxpxnsb in rebuilding your ruined reputation, and become as notorious for good intentions as you now are for bad ones. I give you leave to write! as well as you can and as long as you like, promising that no lawyer shall bleed you till your delirium requires it. | BOBBKT ROSB. «s»/ TO Mr. ALFRED SAUNDERS. nPHOUGH a disinterested party in the JL dispute between Mr. Ross and yourself, I could not help smiling at your " last dying speech and confession." It reminded me of a stupid donkey in harness, barely kept from doing injury by the whip and courage of a good driver. It was in vain you kicked, and bolted, and brayed ; for in trying to escape, you only met with your master. The plausible plea of BXFsfNBK for retiring from a contest, in which you have disgraced yourself, might have been accepted by Mr. Ross, had you not improved upon your capacity for mischief by saying that Mr. Ross has not borne the whole cost of his correspondence ; but, since I know such statement to be tintkdb, I will rob your weapon of its sting, and return back to you thb lix. You, sir, seem to have thought that such a plea would scarcely enable you to retire, and therefore backed it by another, wokse than tbx »i»st. You state that you will not disgrace yourself by contending with a " Chartist ringleader," and conclude that I have written all the letters referred to. But, sir, if lam the author of Mr. Ross's letters, you have disgraced yourself already, for you have replied to them all, in anything but a Christian spirit ; and, supposing that I did write the letters, surely you will not consent to be foiled in your purpose by so contemptible a member of so contemptible a party ! Really, sir, to have been beaten into silence by Mr. Ross wonld have been no strange or unexpected circumstance, for be is your equal in every respect ; but to be defeated by a " Chartist ringleader," a low worthless emissary of a rebel hand, is certainly anything but creditable to yonr own capacity. Perhaps the reason you connected me with a political party, instead of calling me by my proper name, was because you thought it might injure my prospects In the colony, and you are ambitious of illustrating your humanity by exultation over my fall. Sir, I feel superior to any effort on your part to bear me down. Strong in the consciousness of rectitude, I laugh to scorn all the cruelty you can inflict j and, bound to every noble attribute of manhood, I tread upon yonr spleen as if it were a viper beneath my feet. When I came to New Zealand, it was after I bad suffered imprisonment, sacrificed my business, and lost the goodwill of relations, in an endeavour to free my country j and I was and tune am desirous of atoning, in some measure, for my put hostilities, by a life of " peace and good- will " here. I did not expect the word Chartist would be employed against me as a term of reproach in a distant land like thb. We are all united here by a community of interests, and though I am not ashamed of aiy principles, yet I should never render myself obnoxious by their intrusion upon others. I have nothing to do with Chartism in New Zealand, and my past enthusiasm might have been forgotten where there is no grievance to redress and no enemy to our weal. Yoo, sir, may try to kindle in these isles a persecuting spirit, bnt I hope that so long as I am a settler in Nelson and a friend to "peace, law, and order," that I can command th* welhrishes oftae public, and afford to hola you in contempt. Yours, truly, Oioßsa Binxsj,
