Key. +. Franklin Jones, Baptist clergy
man in tairhaven, was recently censured by
an ecclesiastical council for unehristian and
ungentlemanly conduct. A meeting Of the
citizens OF farhayen has been held, and they
resolved that the proof fully vlndlcated him,
that he was a faithful, industrious and worthy
minister OF Christ, and the Council was guilty
OF gross preYersion OF justice IN condemn
ing HIM. The meeting voted to invite Mr..
Jones to lecture to the people, which he did
a few evenings afterward on the Life and
Character of Andrew jackson, having a large
audience who contributed so. The majority
OF public opinion seems to be on his side.
