We have read the publication of one William Rogers in the Aurora of the 8th inst. relative to Mr. Griffith. We were present, at what passed in conversation between them, which is in substance, and we believe in the very words, as above stated by Mr. Griffith. As to the Certificate of William Rogers, it is in every particular, as far as relates to threats or compulsion of any kind, entirely false.
