The Rev. DIR. &. w. Appleton.

We made some remarks respecting this gen
,leman in our last weeks paper, since which
time have been shown a letter to a gentleman
in this place from the Doctors Father-in- la W,
that discloses a still deeper viiiany Of this scoun,
dre, Appleton. The letter states, that Appleton
Informed the writer that he had once been a
ried man, but his wife. regardless Of her marr
age vow, had proved inconstaht and unfaithful to
10 him-had left him and lived in adultery
with another man, until her decease. With
this false tale of his misfortune he imposed
the victim he has made his wife, and her
sususpec,ipg father. 1t is needless for say
that the of his wie's Inconsistency is utterly
false. more virtuous and amiable woman
err lived. So far from being dead, she was a
short time ago married, to gentlema of this
county, in which she now resides, having previ-
ously, as WI stated in our last paper, obtained n
divorce from her unworthy and fugitive husband.
Not satisfied with twice deserving his wife
here, and leaving her to be supported by the
charity of her friends, this Reverend Gentleman,
TO carry out his wicked purposes, adds insult TO
accumulated injury, by attempting TO cover the
character Of his former companion with inamy.
Such base conduct shows that this william has lost
every sense Of honorable feeling, and that he is
prepared to indulge in every species of crime
that ill further his dabolIcal purposes He is
now, we understand, in the South, 10 which place
he went shortly after his marriage, and has writ
ten TO his wife come to him. This request
she was about to comply with, when news from
this place respecting the previous bad conduct
and character OF her nuSOanu, reached her.-
Knowing the man do, would advise her
not go. II she does, she too, will soon be de
serted, aud left among strangers in want and des-
fiiuioG.
Ia order to present himself in elgb point
of view possible, he represented, we under
stand, to the ia Their Of his intended bride, that he
had been member Of the Legislature of of
tho Western States. This too, like the represen-
iaiions respecting the unfaithfulness of his wife,
Is false, but, had he his just DESERTS he would have
been, long since, an inmate Of Western Peni-
Tertiary.
We copy the above from the Wayne County
Record; and take the liberty of asking breth.

him up before the world as william deserving
