uo"O va ny o"oDo1u' INFORMED BdrZll-
lai Davenport that the paper was not off
until Monday noon. The proof-sheet. in
fact. Was not in my hands, until about
eleven o'clock Monday. Seth Keller is
member OF the Congregational church
with Deacon Davenport. What disposal
has been made of the falsehood have not
learned 49, o. whether any labor has been
taken with Seth Keeler for procuring, on
The Sabbath, paper which he did not
pay for! In my conversation with the
Deacon, 1 labored faithfully with him to
show him how plainly all around him must
see his utter hypocrisy in the case-if he
could not see and feel it for himself that
ne should think of pretending TO care for
the public morals in acting the part he
had In this affair, in view of all the attend
ing circumstances. And how far these
! circums.ances--some of which then re-
lated to-him and will now rehearse - 90
to convict of the same state of mind and
heart, all other persons concerned with
him in getting up and carrying forward
the malicious proceeding, judge ye This
same Deacon Davenport had a son -in-law,
IWm. M. Field.l who was a member in
the church with him, at the same time
keepbg tavern and selling rum on the
Sabbath! And occasionally his Field 81
stage, for accommodation. had run from
Rutland 10 Brandon, on the Sabbath! His
attention was also called 10 the unneces-
sary work constantly done in connection
with the furnace in the village, which was
F. perfectly notorious, and many other things
which must be within The reach of all
men Of his standing who pretend to any
such scrupulousness as he=wa low exer.
cising towards me. And yet not whis-
per Of complaint had been heard from
him in relation to all these things! Who
J then could be so blind as not to see, in
view OF such facts, that hypocrisy the
. most base and villainous, and maignity
) most diabolical We're branded deep and
: indellibly on his forehead by his own
a acts? have reason to suppose that the
S Editor of the Vermont Chronicle, in his
: recent carping and nitblmg at the Tele-
graph on this subject, has been acting as
, the tool OF this Deacon. Thus employed,
, no wonder he felt himself to have under

} to be employed TO assail another, and
| when he finds himself hard driven fol-
f his facts in the ca%, TO be under the ne
j cessity of assuming the responsibility o
D saying they are "from responsible
' source" aid at the same time suppressing
/ the facts and the name, lest his iaformaE

p find himself in bad business indeed. Poo
e man! He must learn 10 be better en-
a ployed. ..
