raUTION 10 TIE TTBLIc AGAINST ISLANDER

We are authorized to state, that the two articles orginatng in northern newspapers, duplicating the character of the Rev. Mir. MAFHTT, in relation tc
 his trsatment of his wife. originated who'll in malice and are as utterly destitute of truth of decency The first. originating in the Brooklyn Daily Adrer. fiser, was copied in the New Orleans PieayaHe, oi lsth October. It was retractsd the next day after qualifications, by the edi'or of the Brooklyn .sdccY- sseS; but the retracton has not been copied ex- tensiveiy the original iaisehood and scurriity.- The second appeared in the organ of the Methodist Church, North, the Chyisfjan .7drocate and Jour gal, and was copied into the New York Err rsss, of October 27tia,
 The design of both articles and probably their origin, Is the to impress the public mind with the idea that The Rev. Mir MAnIrr procured his
 marriage to she late FRAycEs by bribes presents and deusive pretcnees; thai, after marriage. he suhlec ted her 10 mental torture corrupted her principles neglected, abandoned, and then defamed her, eau sing her death by sbrokcn heart" All these al- legations, or iBsinuaiions, will -he proved wholly false by Rev. Mr. MATrlrrs friends residing near the theatre of the occurrences, if it has not been done aIFcady.
 The most malicious and artfally written accusa- ton emanafes from the CAytiGn .9drccaie Gad Jour aal, paper whose conductors have, by their wicked and tyranical eondae, towards the Rev. Mr. MAr- FIT, and his friend. the Rev. Mir GREIS. broken os large churches from the Methodist Episcopal con nectisn; and they are now ainenabie to Court Of Justc a suit for islander uttered against tho Rev. Mir. MAryiTr, claiming heavy damages. They have, therefore. not only reputation nt stake hut what to vsnal and base minds is of more importance, money and consequently feel the deepest interest to dsfame him and mislead the public mind.
 The public are, therefore, cautioned not to form an opiaion until facts are saLs,aniia,ed God aud the laws of the country srand by thu right!

Pena has not as yet learned the course of the

When he does become acquainted with it, his
peace ardor may become somewhat abated. The

sentiment in those States is in favor Of peace.
