Sir I should probably have paid vou my respects some time since, it I had not always found it difficult to

procure a glimpse of your decent pa- regard to a free press you may infer per and indeed as such of your mini- that I feel disposed to place the conbets as I have seen, contain little ductor of a correct public journal on original hut what every honest man elevated and respectable ground knows to be absurd or false, I have and for your press, sir which has alseldom put myself to much trouble ways waded through the filthy marshsince that discovery I seize this op- es of blackguard vulgarity and the

portunity ot thanking you however, for the many columns of ebuy you hue authorised to be lavilWcl .on a friend of mine ; still I feel imwilling to promise full remuneration vour printer and scriblers, for the imc tl ey have devoted that way ; but this will enhance my obligation to you ; together with the great importance

they attach to the humble endeavors who is almost a stranger, whose qualif my friend, who most sincerely and fixations are beneath remaik, will cordially dispisefs all the concern. j suffer himself to be pushed forward fhe importance they very correctly by men who either do not or will not

attach to mv tnend I inter irons the time and labour they bestow up and it is in vain they try by vnc talseliood they can invent epithet they can employ to dispmge or disgrace mm the effort like every other they have made, refines itself. They write and print one or two colonies of sheer slander t'n almost event fiafier, to prove that a man is not at all worthy of notice or regard ! ! ! why my eood bridge builder if he be worthy of neither do this worthy gang 01 scrubs bestow so much on him ? I he erade in which vour sheet places that individual, in other respects, is far beyond what he lis ever aspired to till ; and although uat ever little mind or knowledge fenav posscss is and I believe ever will be at the service of his friends 'a'fwlifc' low citizens ; yet he certainly has never agitated the affairs ot st.te although whatever opinions hewhas formed with regard to your prompt : , or your writers, or Jonathan Jen ; nings, or the receiver's office, or the bank, or the slim bank, he would not, nor docs not hesitate to avow. If truth was the object of your paper that individual would not have been required by false aspersions it has almost incessantly promulgated, to appear so often in print and it may j be very possible that you and every writer you have will have cause to lament affording him such frequent occasions. What have you disproved of all he lias ever said ? What have vou proved wrong of all he has ever done If he were to take you and some other up upon these ground

en him,

a and i

sir, it would afford some choice sport indeed. Hut the public cause he advocates docs not require of him to do so but if he be forcd to it by a continuance of your filth and blackguardism, he will not I trust and believe hesitate what course to adopt. The dilemma in which you have placed yourself, is not, allow me to assure you a very enviable one but you probably feel bound to serve your employers, and it is yet too soon to shew you the pricipice. You should know that a public press conducted upon correct principles is the property of the public ; because it can hold a reign over vice and power ; and expose if not cause them to bend to that constitution for which our fathers bled a constitution which guarantees to every citizen, equal priviledges You should have known that our virtuos and intelligent citizens will support no press established and through ail its afifiarent changes, conducted

upon other and quite different principles if it be guided by any principle whatever. You should have known any prineip ha e lyiov tncopPWv JrhichAW; that this free and happy ill never patronize a press as sent here originally by JonajhaprVt nings, and has been ever since busied in vilifying and abusing every intelli gent independent man who honestly condemns his m al-adm in utfration. Our citizens will never uphold or ritrrni7 0 t stiv pvtpnt n nrrcc st I l r Ii upholds so far as such an engine can uphold, power the most dangerous to our future happiness and liberty viz a combination of the monied and r.rrtutive autheuritv of the state. No I while patriotism, virtue and independ ence continue to actuate the people such an en line will be scouted with derision. Now sir, all our citizens of common observation who has occasdonallv read the slanderous sheet you arc said to publish, has long sinc seen that it affords vent to the very worst passions of the very wotst men in this community and also, that it falsehood and the meanest aititice. I should therefore fcorn to notice particularly the base scurrilities to which it descends if I have occasion to again address vou a different course mav be adopted. But in the mean time I will leave, the blackgiuud wri tcrs who adorn its columns without! rival they appear to have studied al the vile and mean parts of our lan guage, and i't this moment I neithci envy, nor wish to imitate, such vil lainous and detestable accomp ments. Think of this 3c oblige, A CITIZEN P. S. From what I have said in low ground of personal abuse and scandal I wiilnot I cannot give it a suitable name or station public feeling or general sentiment lam happy to believe renders it unnecessary to do so. I feel no desire si: " to break butterflies upon wheels, ' if it is not disrespect to a butterfly to make such a comparison but when a man adhere to truth or principle men t nose sinister views corrupt in fluence and unfounded prejudices: are evident ; he must not ivince at a little wholesome remonstrance. 1 will at his time only ask what sort of a blustering republican is he who denies to his most respectable workmen the glorious freedom of opinion : or what title or claim has that of a news-paper to the no spect of freemen, who wouh I tempt to make a man's ; subservient to his employer's or how dare that man who won a capable and honest workman out of employ because he would vote his own ticket, talk to any man about the celebration of our independence ? O, shame where is thy blush ! But if I again take up my pen I shall notice this subject in connexion with the p.ap.er mechivr. and some other mat1 1 ters not inappropriate. A. CITIZEN. FROM IT.X VS.
