Death Of Or. Benniag.-yye caution the public to
receive with great allowance the accouut Of the cir
cumstances attending tire death of AIR. Bennng at
Lexngtop, which has reached this quarter and which
iseagerly circulated. Tiiat account is undoubtedly
not the true account, but gross exaggerated for the
Double purpose of throwing odiuu, upon party, and
OF helping the purses Of the of Sipers who own
and conduct the Kentucky Gazette.
Not q word has yet been heard from Mr.. Wick
life 1t it stated by the Ga2eas, that Wickfe tson
ofthe celebrated lawyer wrote piece in the Ky.
Reporter, signed Cofiolanus---that replied to
in the Gazette by writer styling himself Dantatus
--that Wicklife called upon Bennng, Editor of the
Gazette, for the author of Dentutus, which the latter
promised to give up the next day;but that some alter
cation ensuing, Berniag raised his stick to strike

evident, from the verdict Of the coroners inquest,
which without intimating any censure upon Wick
me by flHTucf merely states
that Bennng to his death by means Of pistol
held IN the hand of Charles Wicklffe.
The purpose of this exaggeration is equally evil

ground, and would have the world infer, that Ben

action resolved upon, and of the principles of the adj
