not understand; but seeing through the cowardy
attack, felt disposed to realiate by allusion
to q circumstance which no doubt sits heavy on his
conscience. In doing this, though but barely aHuSire,
it stung him to the quick He Immediately puts on

paper of the I'd inst.
We shall now merely tell plain tale and one
which will be corroboraed BY hundreds We have
no desire to introduce names of PERSONS and shall
avoid it es far as possble especially as Morrison
has endeavored TO create, in the minds of some a
prejudice against us, which he thinks Will end in
what his cowardly soul dares not attempt Mr. Bish-
op is endorsed BY Morrison as a man of truth and
veracity. This we have never disputed, and wish it
borne in mind that we shall not dispute it, at least
until we have cause.
We did give to Bishop pair OF trorSers and

not find il in his possession. He therefore gave it up
as lost. few days after, on Tuesday morning we
think, Gt having been deposited in the night,) the
pocket book, with It's notes and papers, found in
the Post Office box. Now we say, let all who feel
interested, inquire
Let them also enquire if, when Morrison came
