1t may be too late to do you au, good, and it
may not be needed, but l feel moved to warn
you against saying much to tho credit of Gro

HE Is A LIBERTINE.
No Christian should oondone his crimes, so
far as to commend his candidacy. About

cloak department in Flint & kent's, leading
mearchantshere kidnapped thewoman after the
boy was born, sent her to the Catholic insane
asylum, and took the child from her. She es.
capped, got Milo o. Whitney esq, to help her,
he finally settled and gave up the child for
$4,000, This / know to be true, for | have it
confirmed by Flint & Kent, by Mr.. Whitney,
her attorney, and by Mrs, William Baker,
where The woman boarded, Mr.. C.. has the
reputation here of the

Judge James Sheldon, of the superior court,
told me this week that he had direct proof of
his recent attempt to seduce a young lady of
excellent character, but she becoming aware
of his intent, repealed him 80 spirtedly that
he beat a hasty retreat. L have written to the
Independent and the Christian Union, and
they will play shy of him, though they did
speak of him as irreproachable, Having seen
nothing in the Advance to alarm me, L did not
write you, but it will do no harm for You to
know the facts. Yours, GEo. III. BALL"
