have been held in pursuance Of public notice,
which, incs,nuch as they cast censuse on tho

Of ,co,.1a.be public officers liable to the same
exposition, and as truth in such matters should
offend none, We will give further sketch Of
the affair than the proceedings afford. Ames,-

attended, the intention Of adopting measures
then, was abandoned. An entire failure beino

establishment in consequence Of the connec-
ton Of the Commissioner with it. As they
have shown their hostility to US by sending TO
Galena to get that part Of their printing done
for which they expected to pay a price, we
might be justified in refusing TO publish their
proceedings, yet we will return them good for
evil, and let the public see their proceedings
