and the one which has perhaps done more to
prejudice his case than any other cause, is his
connecting with the exciting proceedings of

was doing,

any right minded man ought to indorse,
but the following, like an oasis in desert of
hate and bitterness, so truly accords with our
sentiments, that we can not, coming whence
it does, refrain from republishing it: "Some

the number of dried.up old specimens who
were converted and imported. This year
missionaries were enjoined to look olt .
