we would gladly draw "a veil over the infnmities

As / was passing down street, the other day,
| was informed that the Rer. Jacob Lennon had
nailed up a notice concerning Joseph Allen and
myself. Immediately went down to the place
and found the following:
Know all men, by this declaration, that either
Joseph Allen or Amos Fl. Willis, one Of the two,
stands committed before this community, for origina-
ting and circulating a bare-faced and malicious false
hood, which l stand ready to prove whenever called
upon,
sicklers for the truth. Now, whichever of the two
has the hardest conscience, is welcome to swallow the
pill.
Given under my hand and seal, this the second
JACOB LEMMoN.n
Tread the notice, and supposed that Mr.. Lem
mon had allusion TO the charge made against
him of refusing to attend the funeral of George
Councilnan's daughter, after being invited and
solicited, stating that he must attend a political
meeting at Tippecanoc that day. wrote a small
notice and nailed it up just under the old feI-
lows paper, inviting him to meet me before the
public and make good his charge. The paper
there to deceive those who never have examined
closely the character of the man. Now, as the
wings {for no others are interested,) will not let
my paper stand, and Mr.. Lennon will not come
before the public to make good his charge, and
as | am publicly with Mr.. Alien published as II
bovo, | therefore will lay the facts Of the whole
matter before the public, and let them sec how
the "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" spirit will lay
waste the character Of even the messengers Of
the everlasting Gospel.
Mr.. Lennon charges either Mr.. Allen or my
self, with starting a report, that George Council
man sent for Jacob Lennon to preach a tdne-
raj sermon, and that Lennon could not attend,
because he was going to the Tippecanoo wing
meeting. This is the " malicious falsehood" he
has %allusion to i'll his notice.
Now Mr.. Allen did tell me that Coun Gilman
sent for Lennon to preach a funeral, and SO he
understood ii at the time, as will be seen by the
following certificates, which 90 TO show that
IT WAS THE GENERAL IMPRESSION OF
ALL, THAT Mr.. LENNON WAS SENT FOR
70 PREACH A FUNERAL:
The day that George Councilman's child
was buried, Joseph Neel came to my house to
borrow a saddle 10 ride after Jacob Lennon;
and my opinion was that il was TO preach the tl-
| neral; and when the boy returned, he sald that
/ Lennon could not come now, bat would attend
% it at another time.

consequence of the sickness. They said that

On the 9th of August, Mr.. Councilman re-
quested me TO 90 TO Mr.. Lennon, and tell him
TO come over TO his [Councilman's house, at
half past 10 %o;clock-one of his children being

that Councilman wanted him 10 come over 10
his house, by half past 10 o'clock; that one of
$ his children was dead. Mr.. Lennon told me
that he was going to Tippecanoe, and could not
90 now, but would attend 10 it some other time.

want a funeral preached. He then said he

that there might be time to obtain some one
