Excerpt from Reply to the Sequel of Hon.: Horace Mann, Being a Supplement to the Bible, the Rod, and Religion, in Common Schools I have before me a pamphlet of 56 pages, entitled, "Sequel to the so-called correspondence between the Rev. M. H. Smith and Horace Mann, surreptitiously published by Mr. Smith, containing a letter from Mr. Mann, suppressed by Mr. Smith, with the reply therein promised."The pamphlet opens with a statement false in all its parts. It asserts that "Mr. Smith suppressed a letter from Mr. Mann." This false statement is repeated nine times in the book. This is no trivial error on the part of the "Secretary of the Board of Education." It was first given to the public in the Boston Post of Jan, 13, - unquestionably from the same source. It was promptly, emphatically, and unequivocally denied by myself, in the Boston Post of Jan. 14. The following is the letter: To The Editor Of The Boston Post: Sir: - There is no truth in the statement of your correspondent, that I have suppressed a letter from the Hon. Mr. Mann. I have seen no such letter. According to the statement of your authority, the letter referred to contained only an assurance that an answer was coming. With that answer, when it comes, I may have something to do, and I may not. My work in the pamphlet referred to, was a distinct one. Statements made in my sermon were called in question. "Proof or withdrawal" was demanded. I have given such proof as I considered essential to my defence. That done, my work was done.
