ceedncs of what is called "a large assem-.
blare of the friends Of Linden, from all the

officer. to reply to the charges and allcsa-
tons set forth agains, me IN the said pub

seeing in the iih resolution of the proceed
ings that there had been a committee APP
pointed to wait on me, in person. but,
as the said committee have, thus far, totally
failed to do so, | think it is unnecessary to
wait longer
