Mr. Christy:-
Let Mr. Clodhopper know, that I am not the James Thompson, who voted at a meeting held in the Courthouse, during the last term, neither was the resolution mine that was adopted by that meeting— And further, I know of no person of my name or politics, who voted for that resolution, in the sense that is generally attached to it.
As I am suspicious that Clodhopper is not the person he pretends to be (Farmer) or even thinks he is (wise) I shall therefore take no further notice of him at the present, or at least until I know his real name.
