Since the publication of the ''Cardn above
alluded to, Marshall M. Strong, editor of the
reputed "Advocate," told me, that if the
newspaper had been in his charge last week.

RANGES of a religious society, whose rights
had been wrested from them, it was the du-

As might have been expected, after such
a liberal tender was made to those who had
invaded the rights of others, some would ac-

further attempt; when another copy of the
paper, of the same date, was put into my

office; and upon looking at the piece with
the signature above named, | found that it
had been revised and beamifed, and a sell
