Now in the first place, do not believe the Rich

Mr. Bruce and in the second place, the statement
that We have endeavorcd to convict Mr.. Rayner of
aboitionism," is false. We will tell the Observer
presently what we hare done, and what intend

effort to induce them to unite with black Repub-

We have the documents before us to prove these
facts. The Philadelphia News of the 4th Novem-

Rayner went to Philadelphia to ask it 1.-THE A,neri-
