Crowell. in your remarks on the state- ment of rhe Co/11111b11s E11,,uirer, in relation to the Indians and Col. C. publi:;hecl in your paper of the 2-3th ult. It is true that that censure wns founded on the presumption that tlw statement of the Enquir<'r was corrrc/.; and I hare not the sli!!htest «loubt of rour entire impar- tiality in the matter; hut perhaps it 'e:-:caped your memory for the time, that the Enquirer has bPen mo,-t 1,ittcrly hostile to Col. Crowell ever since its establishment, frequently using against him language of ~o mrnecessarily violent and ahusire nature, as eould leave no doubt that the feelings which dictated it were at least as much of a personal as a public character. It is extremely difficult, with such feeling~, to be- stow censure impartially, and with a view to the puhli<: good n/0111•; and therefore those who possess them are not likely to he good authority in statements with which they may interfrre, ancl pnrt.i<·ularl~- those in which they appear to do so. those who know Col. Crowell per- sonally, and have judged impartiall.,· of his conduct a::: Indian Agent, must be deeply and regretfully sensible that few men ham heeu more violently and unjustly assniled in the hitterness of party spirit, and for the mere !-ake of party success. lmmec1iately that I saw the statt>- ment of the Enquirer, I felt cominced of its improhability in general; and particularly of its injustice to C'ol. Crowell; ancl the c:ounter state- ment of Col. C. and another per:-:on_. a:-: puhlii:l1ec1 in the :\Iacon Tele- ~rnph of the 25th ultimo, (which r 1louht not ~-ou hare eopiecl rre this) fully confirmed this <·onriction.- I tru::;t too it will c-01wince the public of the propriety of reeei\"ing with c:antion, lwreaftr1·, all remark!'; of the Columbus E111111irl'r which redate in an,· war to Col.
