Mo^qh played on me, in so far as the following eorreapondence will meet the case. The whole transactiuu I refer to is more tally described, in my QrHt letter, under theneading:— " A Uevelation of affairs in the Towri of North Toronto." Mr, Moyes approaching me, and also tak- ing np the time of Z. A. Lash, Esq.. 8.0.,(ofthefirm of Blake, Lash and assels), reading to him a list of the ▼ariouB materials I'equired in the Con. ■trabtiop of the Extension of the Road from Richmond Hill to Newmarket, is now believed by more than me to have be«B a oleverljr concocted scheme on hit part to get me muzzled, and keep me from taking part in the disoussions that were just commencing to take place, in reieirence to the Law Suit that ~ to have been enterec( in and the qneattonablo conduct of laat year's York County ('oaunil, and the r<MkloHM action of the Railway Com- miitee uf the liooal Logiiilature, in oon- tirmioR what the County Council had illoKoliy done. It wonla have shown wiNdom on the part of Mr. Moves had he rofraiuud from rofurriiig to him and mo, in his " liarnev Bom*' letter, Ih connection with that Contract, when he .knows so well that it was both a decep- tion and a muzzle he had l>een indolg- ing in; and. he playing off his nranka on me he will soon flnaout— (if he haa not already realized the fact)— that he has injiirou himHelf, and brought down aliont hiH owu earti, and the Company he repruHtmtit. a hornet's nest. Here oomuiuuctm the oorrusirandenoe inati< gated by Mr. Moves, which will afford ample proof of the insincerity of Mr. Moyus, and the wrong he has done a friend, who has on more than one oooa- sion been ready and willing to serve him to the extent of at least Niini TuouMANi) DoLLAiiH at ono snap. It ill becomes Mr. Moyes, in that bad Irish, in his letter referred to, to imint out my UDgeuorouH nature, and lack of {ihiliUithrophy in this neighborhood,— or it was in this very locality that I have assintecl others, and stood rea«ly, and wuH perfectly willing to lend Mr. John W.
