1t is easy TO discover the insduous end. which this
communication is intended to subscrve. The enemies
OF Mr. King, especially in New York, are bringing for
ward every anticipated charge which can bear~u,on tho
consideration of his aR. ointment TO the embassy TO En-
gland, and it need not excite surprise if The inventions
i me imagination are brought 10 the aid of such char.
ges as are founded in fact. That there was. however

ration had proved Inadequate to consunrnate the liberty

and malicious. Why il it be true, has so extraordinary
a circumstance escaped So long the search of the His

p%artakng as little as any other Of The truth of
history the jealous foe of Mr.. King, on the eve of the
meeting of tic body which is to raIfy or reject his an.
and when there is no longer time TO inycs,i. !
gate the charge: These circumstances fix a s,rop~
suspicion upon the story, which enquiry viii serve to
confirm.
