signed che certificate published in the last "News.
to the effect that he had been raudulently initiated
into the order commonly called Know Nothings,'
and he told me that he wished 10 withdraw the GER
tifca,e and that the certificate id not contain his
sentiments and he further said that DR. Samuel L
Love persuaded him to sign it; and afterwards
saw DR. Samuel L Love and he told me that he haC
written to have that certificate withdrawn. do MOI
know to whom he wrote, but think that he wrote
to Mr. CIingman as heard him say that Mr.. Cling
