a tew scnbb'.rrs, who. beinr lost and sunk

in public estimation, appear determined

to level every person to the same stand

they will have it printed, and put in the post-bag, while the racj sight of it is enough to pve the mail-carrier the hcartburn, and turn the stomachs of his horses. One of these fellows, in particular, if he va in pil for murder, could not write a nctition in the English lansrnasje, to save

his neck from the halter. Wherever he makes l' mark, he is certain of detection his pen is as well known as his spectacles ; and we do not recollect of seeing a single paragraph of his begetting that did not contain cither a bull or a falsehood.

You cannot re.isnn with them ; for, like the old worn m in the tale, they will cry ram's horut to the end of the chapter. The dnHnel need only contain one shrb: sentence, and out pops a column in tin: San, composed of such n congregation of useless words, so huddled, confused, crammed and jumbled to-

get'.ier, that one woi: u tarn some o.i dictionary had been frittered to pieces, and the words gathered in a. mass promiscuously, adjusted by measurement, and reprinted without the definitions. It ahv.o.t always is the case, that when there happens to be a correct idea in the publication we allude to, it is' "like a

It is there owned and admitted,in express terms, that there were gentlemen associitcd with Capt. Blake, in the last legislature, : vJwse hcrois:n in tkc baitlcs) and former services in the councils of our nation, u ill cdom the pages of his 'or,;." Yet, these men are to be sacrificed !

So, indeed but bv wretches of a different stampW'lio drew their first breath on British soil bv forciisncrsy whose education and principles are hostile to Americans ; who came to this country filled with all the prejudices of their nation, and are now tr to the old English cause, and endeavoring; to drive every Republican from . r;-l " r

Our feelings are always aroused when Me see any thing; like persecution. It we have no previous esteem for a man, whenwc zee him abused and tnunphd on, we must give him all the assistance in our power.' But thi is not wholly the case ??v rp' itps to Mr. Bi.aue.

When these fdolings become disgraceful, when these sentiTHMts become unpopular, we may

bid farewell to the boasted liberty of our

This anniversary was celebrated in this

town bv many ot those testimonies ot

patriotic respect which are the effusions

j i citizens assembled on n beautiful emi

nence near the town, and there enjoyed

themselves as well as circumstances would

admit. 1 he sentiments expressed by this

company have been published, together

with a very flowery description 01 tne

piitprtainment. We are not willing to

- j detract from the merits of that jubilee,

although some of the p irtaKcrs have po

ken in the utmost contempt of it; but

this much we feel bound to say that many of the SKT TOASTS were not the sentiments of the , elder and respectable portion of the company that the patriotism and truly American feelings

which carried them thither, made them spurn at every expression o( partijism and private iplccn which disgraced the prorecdms of that uv a day, above all
