remove all causes Of offence existing
between us, real or fsncied, and to
make Christian reparation for injuries
done or supposed to be done, declare
and covenant each to the other, as fol-
lows:

given credit, perhaps without due con-
sideration to tales and inuendoes affect
ing Beecher, now feels he did him
wrong. He therefore disavows all
charges and imputatious that have been
attributed to him (Bowen). as having
been made by him against Beecher, and
declares be knows nothing which should
prevent him rom extending to Beecher
his cordial friendship.

the public can now understand the
brave silence which the great preacher
has kept under the protracted storm OF

the past, and 10 maintain peace and
brotherhood The document is given
to the world to stop and convict the
principal offenders against truth and
