week.
Il. S. 2d. We have received the re-
port of the Methodist annual conference
which held its deliberations in Boston
siuce the acquittal of Rev. Avery. We
will have this report up for dissection us
soon as we shall have disposed of the
facts we have ON hand.
We received not long since two letters
from Bristol, one from Mr.. HezekIah
Wardwell, the tenor of which was that,
he could not consent to pay an editor for
speaking his mind freely as respected
the guilt of L. X. Avery-that editors
who were homes: enough to publish what
they believed to be the truth, were mex
cusalle in his mind--and therefore he
wished his paper discontinued. The o.
ther was polite note from the Postmas-
ter informing us that Mr. VIM. Ii.
D'Wolf expressed much dissatisfaction
at an article published in our paper re-
Ia,ins; to Avery, and positively refused
taking the paper any longer from the
Post Office. Soon, however, the intell.
gent part tf the community became
apprised of this fact, and twenty-one re-
sponsible persons were found in very
short period who affixed their names to
list rs subscribers for this paper,
which list, was handed us on Monday by
gentleman from Bristol!
Who shall dare to say DOW that there
is but one voice in Bristol, as regards the
Rev. Criminal, and that THAT is in HIS
favor ! Who shall to say that HE enjoys
the confidence of even majority Of his
townsmen, when a majority of his own
church believe him guilty and have for
saken him ?
What effect will this just remuner-
alton for our independence, have on The
presses under sectarian influence Wha'
effect will it have on the pusllanmou'
editor of the Herald of the Times
Will it be the means of strengthening hi;
courage ? Will it be the means OF in
ducng him for ONCE to take n stand il
defence oS justice We shall see.
WHAT NEXT I'VE have been informet
within few days past, on good authority
that there is now living in the town Of Prov
idence a female by the name Of Maria Snow
Cornell. Of her character we say nothing
further than to state what ought to be knowi
9 viz. that there is now no doubt. but that thN
, is the identical girl spoken Of by the witness
/ es on the stand in the trial of Avery, as Ma
ria Snow at one place, as Maria Cornell a
3 another, and as Maria s. Cornell, at a third
Thus has the character of Sarah M. Cornell
The unfortunate deceased, Been loaded dow
with the singulartics, the iraties and tn
$ crimes Of another whose name bore rescm
blance to hers, Why has this been done
= Let those answer who best know. We d.
e hope tn is affair will be thoroughly invcstiga
ted and publicky exposed. and the authors O
, il made to feel the full weight Of their mel
:. tied punishment. Lives there on earth
u
u could resort TO such measures for any purpos
5 whatever? lfthere be svch beings, let thef
i be known that they may be shunncd.
v FATAL ARRAY. We learn that dis
y pute took place on Friday last betwee
n two> men in Verona which ended in th
c the death of one Of them. The name
@ and particulars we do not learn, but un
d derstand that the dispute arose abou
some material evidence given in Mt III
|. recent trial Of the Rev. l.. X. Avery
G From words they proceeded 80 blow
:. and in the scuffle one threw the o,he
S down and enquired if he would be quie
= were he to be let up, to which he receiy
e ed an affirmative answer--boih then &c
h up,-the undermost Immediately DIRE,
c his knife and inflicted a fatal wound !
