But after his failure to prove mea thief; his next effort was to convict me of forgery! It will beremembered that Lewis after selling out to me, returned the contract toMr. Ingersoll, and that I had lost by the means, the land, and at leastfive hundred dollars' worth of improvements. Then I brought a suit againstLewis, to recover the money I had paid him for the contract; and then itwas that he asserted and attempted to prove, that I had forged theassignment, and therefore, had no just claim on... him for the amount paid. But in this, as in the other case, he met a defeat and made an entirefailure. I recovered all that I claimed, which, was only my just due. Onewould suppose that after so many unsuccessful attempts to ruin me, hewould have left me alone, --but not so with Lewis: he had the ambition of aBonaparte; and doubtless had he possessed the advantages of an education, instead of having been born and bred a slave, he might, like an Alexanderor Napoleon, have astonished the world with his deeds of daring.
