E"OMlNOUS"
An article which appeared in the last number of
this paper headed "Ominous, created no small curl
osity and exciteinent apd induced hundreds who are
not at all Interested, to call upon for an explana-
uon. 10 each and AL made the same rcpy:
"tnc article tells its story-it speaks for itself
and at present we have no coinmttals To make. NO
explanation TO ofer;wc shall consult our own time
and convenience, and when We are rcady. vow sl,au
be enlghtened'-lt was our original intention to
have gone into full and an elaborate expose that
the public mind might be satisfied, and to carry that
intention INTO effect we had collected mass Of facts
and documents TO lay before the public; and when
we were on the of doing So and had prepared
ourselves Tor the.press were called upon by in
dviduals ofeininencs and great respecta by friends
to both parties, who most earnestly begged that we
would ioTegoour intentlon until the affair bad had
FAIR and legal adjudcaon.--They stated to us
tat measures were in preparation to bring darkness

dice th; pubic mind at moment, when the Whole
Transaction was under the process of legal nvesti-
CATION Beyond all this, they said to- us that one of
me parties 10 the affair." said to be the deeply
involved III the transaction, was aboring under par
tai alienation OF mind and that humanity and respect
Tor the feelings OF large and interesting circle
OF friends, should for The moment at least deter US
trom an exposition, which would most assuredv in

Thus appealed to, by gentlemen whom we are
bound 10 respect. and on whose opinions we place
Implicit relESnce we withhold thu exposition which
WIS never promised by us, but which we ,Inder-
stand has been very generally expected.
Finding ourselves thus placed, it only remains
LOT lie 10 say that we regret, that cannot in JUS
ice to ourselves or 70 the parties concerned make
an expose and crafty curiosity. Sufficient for us
rs 1t to say that hi al human probability the bench
and the bar, Will very speedily make the expose to
which we allude, and develope, of the most
/ foul and v!amous consprncics that inan ever con-
ceved, to rob his fcllow-oan and to consgn one
LOT our species, who had Hitherto .cuioyed an tn-,
sulhed reputatIo TO the deepest DEPTHS of In!any
disgrace and crime.--Ne hHye sIid thus much 0r
the satisfaction, edi6catiOn. and nbrmatiun of our
readers; and whilst IT is far from our. Intention to
be ozark or mysterious" find oursefyes called
upon To withhold that information which we could
give, and which If given. would stagcer the cFedu-
Ehty OF the Pubc.-We say no more at this mo-
meilt; nor 10 wish to more for tho attainment
OF any end that We could contemplate a..
ware, that there are many HEnoug rs, who have as
serted an opinion, that the article we gave in our
last, and To which we now aliude, was not based
upon single fact, and that it was written and pub
iished for effect, aud effect only. 70 those who
entertain such opinions, have only TO say, that
we have not the least objection their continuing
their entertainment; and that although We cannot too
sincerely hope, that their opinions may he realized
we are certain That they VIII he found idle and fall
lacous--fimc, the changer of al things the dos
roycr Of the most magnificent and solid fabrics and
the author ~ undreamt of events, Will yet "a tale
unfold, which for its enormity, has seldom been O.
qualed' and rarcly surpassed But let US all pa,
tiently wait the issue.
