EPHKAIM K. AVERY. KO. 3. Mr. Editor In my last ntimher I show ed, 1 think, conclusn-ely, that even flcrn( ing the character ot Sarah M. Cornell

to be as bad as represented, the fact afforded no apology foi Avery, because his conduct in relation to her and the chun b. in attempting, successfully, to cliield her from evil consequences, and conniving at her continuance in respectable society proves him as Heti!iip of moial good r es, as he could have been. I have said that 1 am not the champion of Miss Cor nelP-i virtue, and should not attempt to prove her chaMe; but I do say and I be lieve the public will sustain me in saying that in no court ever holder, m tne United Slates, ivas sui h an nnonialous ma! of testimony admitted as that le-eived to prove her chaiacter bad, or such con cluvions arrived at bv similar uteans

One of the last species of te-tiinoiiy , to nilieve, and the methodist church believe n hich I should coit-nt to resort, to prove wb.it aarali Maria Cornell said. They the character of a person, either good nave, therefore, virtually acknowledged or bad. would be that given by a man her lo be, thus far worthy of credit. If of the profession of Doctor Graves. It she spoke the truth in this case, she was is enough for me to say of him, that the.j'ist as likely to do so when she charged line of practice in w hich he is eng ged, ! Avery with ;be same act. If we believe1

of al! professions, the most cutit med m'let not cxccp'.ei!, the mott :.-gi;ice iff,m'' ji'nl in itself, and the most demoralizing to! society. I will nit believe the man, who; by volunteering his sei vices foT the secret safe, and sneedy cure of a certa.u d:s e ise, or, perhaps offeiing a sure preven lative, gives his sanction lo debauchery , and encourages the practice ot vice, to fill his pockets. What he says, for aught I know, may he true; bht it comes not well fr n. hi mouth, and is, in my ham '.e opinion, worth but little. Dr Graves states that Maria Snow Cornell, r.ot Sarah Maria Cornell, con fessed to him that she had intercourse : with three different men. One or two

females n.:ke similar statements U hojalaei!! Aod who believes bim? who heknows that this was Sarah Maria Cornell! . lieves the man, once convicted by a jury

Who knows but it was Maria Snow Cor nell, who is still living, mid jui such a charactei as they describe? Did any wit

i.es identity htrf Was any witness re ,sucn a man, when he brands a dtlenceiess quired lo identify heif Kot one. And j female with the crime of falsehood, ivh even admitting there was no mirtake , i character for truth it was his interest to what right w as theie to admit meie guess j destroy, lo cover up bis ow n iniquity, as work n valid testimony, aud permit w it subsequent facts have proved? Who benesses to reiale a thousand tales ol hoi jlieves ihe man? who, but a fool cat mr, and call up a thousand tales of ini believe the man, who could not make &

quity, which for aught the comt and jury knew, and for aught (hey know now, might he applicable to Maria Snow Cor nell, or some other peronf Hut who are the witnesses who le-tity lo the general badness of this giiTs character? Ot Dr. Graves, i have already spoken let him pass. NeM come a who I ej?osse of females and" what do they know about til Why simply, that Miss Cornell made lo them confessions of the facts. It may have been so or they may have heaid Irom her, some hints io this import, anu their envy, piejudice or jealously, may have conjured up the rest. At any rate if jhey believed such thing, more especially if they knew them, the fact that they slill continued to associate with her, as companions in society, and sisters in the church, does not speak mnch in their favor. But wjiere are the men that car risd on this intercourse with I1 its Coinell? Were they unknown? Did the male company lhat Miss Cornell kept, with whom she rod, and dtinked.aod on whom she so lavished her favours, escape the Argus eyes of these female gos?.ps? Were no other persons acquainted with the circumstances? Could not the person with whom she boarded, er the landlords of the taverns, to w hich sha so frequently accompanied her paramours, a tale unfold," and give damning facts to confirm the stories of these Abigails? Have these pat amours all died or vanished within the short space of three years and their very names sunk into oblivu-n? Let any person believe, if he can, either lhat this unfortunate girl led for so long a time, n life of prostitution, without her companions in guilt being known, or if known, or'uoknown, that the champions of E. K. Avery, who have wtll nigh seached heaven, earth and hell, for witnesses, would not have dragged them forth to ihe light of day. Bat again, I say, admit her character for chastity bad, of what av.iil is this? I answer, it only renders the supposed in tercouise of Avery with her still more probable. Where would such a man be most likely to seek his victim? Among (he daughters of chastity, whose spotless innocence and virtuous principles would of, he hkely to resist his insidious attempts? ofiNo. Most assuredly would he single for hi base purpose just such a person as Sarah Maria Cornell is represented, by the prisoners witnesses, to have been. A girl he knew had already sacrificed hei hood r,and would therefore probably meet hit advances, and yet, a person possessed Of attractions that tveio ev id colly the

subject of female f-nvy. .epeat it thec thai the knowledge whirh Avery is suppoed io have had. that this young woman had paf;ed with that gem the virtcous prise more thar. Isle nclf. to far freih giving a favorable aspect to Avery'n case8 make it a thousand times more probable, that he su- cessfolly paid hi? court to her; and for vvhkh purpose, the relation ia which be stood lo her as Pastor of the church, favored biaa with innumerable opportunities. tiut, did .i iss Cornell declares that she had held intercourse with three men? So

the declare she had with the fourths and that fourth, she declares to be? Ephraim K Avery. It is on her own testtnittuy, according to the statement of the witnesses, that ehe is convicted 6f" lewdness. She said it to them, and they kuev it by no other means. 1 hev re lated to them, and t-he court and jury . her in one instance, we have as guod & 'r:ght m believe her in the other: therfcfoie, Avery is guilty of the charge, if on theihcr hand, We believe her gulliv j ot falsehood in the latter instance, we j hav e just as good a right lo disciedit her Jin the former, and hence ihe lestimoi.y 'against her character, until a few months previous to her death, falls to ihe ground. Lut, why should she not be believed? Does the tact of hei having intercourse with a man, prove her a liar? If so, we have yet to learn how many of the fe male witnesses, called together from the " four winds of heaven," are entitled to belief. Who has said she wag a liar? Att.ru, ith b;a sanctimonious alas! alas'.! i . ol his country of the most gross, foul and i wilful slander, to destroy the character of a brother clergyman! Who helievea simple excursion to the coal mines on. Rhode Island, on the 20th of December last, on a toar of observation, in the nighti without shielding himself by the utter ance of falsehood wilful and deliberate falsehood in solemnly stating that hemei aud conversed with persons who ne ver existed? And what other evidence exists thai Sarah Maria Cornell was u liar? It is pretended that she forg.d a certificate from the methodiet church; but who knows it? Her female friends -at least a few of them, pretend that the know it. But how did they know it? ' They had seen the paper; but how d'i they know it to be spurious? They gurss ed at it, as they did at many other things; and. for aught that was known to ihe contraiy, it was probably genuine. There is no difficulty in Coming to a conclusion, that Avery himaelf, even if he knew the girl to be as bad as is pretended, gave her this certificate himself, to lull suspicion to rest and secure himself from detection. His conduct towerds herai Fall" River, where he preserved a studied si--lehce respecting her, and bargained with her for continuance in the church, on certain conditions, all goe9 to the conclusion that he feared her that he dared not speak out, lest he should turn iLe enemys battery on himself. His permission for her to remain in the church, was just as bad as it would have been lo ha V given her a certificate ; and which he did, as is very well known. t say then, no good and sufficient evidence has been produced, to prove her certificate a forgery : No satisfactory testimony has been offered, to prove hr habituated to lying: Nothing- appears iff the trial to show that her statements are not as much to be credited, a those of the witnesses that brnmied her character with lewdness. Indeed facte, if they were facts, developed by them, go to show, that of whatever eUe she may have been guilty, lying was not among her habitual errors. Admitting her to have mads the confession she is said to have made to her companions and associates and afterw ards lo iht church, and to bve acted as she did, and felt as she appeals to haVe dune on the occasion, hw can we account f r the fact, but from a con. viction lhat she valued tiuth too highly, even to cloak her frailties with falsehood, and that her Kbeintions from vittut ueie Ihe resi.lt of ungovernable passions, accompaaied pet haps by the thoughtless ness of an uureilectii.? miudpassmns, the gratification of which, brought to heir ttiiui tho raise of the je-.vel sho had ea-
