ed, and persecuted people, I ask no favors of the people of this country, and get none save from those whose Christianity is not hypocrisy, and who are willing to 'do unto others as they would that others should do unto them'--and who regard _all_ human beings who are equal in character as equal to one another. "Respectfully "WILLIAM G. ALLEN" Simultaneously with the above card, there appeared in the "_Syracuse Journal_," the following Article. It is from the pen of Wm. S. King--the brother aforesaid mentioned. It is in spirit a most dastardly performance, more so, considering that the gentleman really _did_ know the circumstances, than anything which had hitherto been sent to the press.

"For some time after this, the Professor said no more upon the subject; but in the course of a year or so, _again_ proposed marriage, and was _again_ rejected. "Thus matters stood until some time since, when Miss King left the School, and returned to her home in Fulton. Shortly after, Allen went to that place and called on her, and, after a short interview, again, for the third time, proposed marriage. She _again rejected him_, and told him _that such was her firm
