much interest among the community, tina, we
have given the entire statement made by the
seconds, that all false impressions may be
banished, and leave the blame to rest in its
proper place. After careful perusal of the

suade the editor that his i'll health is not ow-
ing to his duties as editor, aud induce him a.
gain to take up the quill. We believe the
"o,her circumstances are rather the strongest,
in producing this result, as the last we heard
