Mr. Cranger's text, the reader has the

1t was to the talenes ard exertions Of
republican, printers that Mr.. Granger
became very much indebted for his pre-
TENT Office. All other forts OF inAu-

dent, if the whole prcacs of America
have been, for four years, embattled
againit hirh. SO harlh a reae9ioh,
therefore, was at leafr ingracious, if not
iingratcful.

papers OF that ftarnP, had met With the
WORT reception. 1t has recently been
proved in one of the courts of this fate
that the Aurora had, for a conliderablc
time, been regularly ifopt by one OF the
country roit-n,aiters, and {oiG as 1oay2<

We mutt again ak Mr.. Granger for
what good rcaion the befora of rcforfna-
