tried for four years, using nv best wit,
which has proved small in endeavoring to
cloak and conceal facts which are
now to be divulged. The responsibility
of divulging them belongs not to

This responsibility belongs to Mr.. Beecher,
who has summoned six men of his own

when they are made known, will put an end
TO Beecher's ministry, and show him to have
been guilty of degree of criminality which
the world little suspects, and to have at
tempted to shield himself by putting forth
| another mau's breast as an armor which
was to receive the blow. AS to a compro-
mise, know nothing. shall accept none
