TO THE I'ItINTEIt OF TiIE AoynKTISEit. St rt, November 21, 11CR. It id soon be decieei by the hi; h , ...5t authority, who' her the just , ce of our laws, mil the l•hit% of our Constitution, have h. ea e•senti.liv viniated, iu th , ..! person of Mr. Wilkes. As a public man, his tare will be determinei ; nor is it sate or neces - try at p.esent to enter hit° of his cause. We are interested in this no fcrikr t Inn as he is a part of a well reAulated s , ciety. 1f a inewber of it he Lltire.l, the I..iws and Constitution will defend him. Rut where is t e law to entafee the engagriller,ls of prirate faith, or to pu lds h l'reach Of them ?—W here shall he apidv far r.iress with wlvria ties of honour, proiessitnis of friendship, awl obligvions of paity, have !well violated or b‘trai e.I ? A man so injures, has no redress nt conhcla tau, b':t whit lw find; in the reseutmcnt and generi.us of inankiird. The violation of party faith is of itself too common to excite stir prize or Latignaiton. Political trieta-,Mips are so %veil understood, th •t we can hard :y pity the siinplicity they deceive; au:! if Mr. Wilkes had only been deserted, he would but have giv n us one cx• allyle more of the tOily of red) ing on such engagtmen s. conceive, is a singufn •:tuatinu.—There is scarce an instance of par y • -,erit so grcai as hs,or so ill rewarded. Other Wen have been Ain. doned by their friends ; Mr. Willie; alone is oppressed by them. One would think that the First Lord of the Treasury and the C cellar might have been contented with forgetting the man to whutti they plincimilly owed their elevation ; but he its I kr theirs are not so easily satisfied. They ktt him unsupported when they • ceased to want his aisistance, and to cover tt c reproach of passive twatiindr, they pursue hiin to destruc.tion. The bounds of human scien.e are still unknown ; htst this. assnred'v•is the last limit ot -rpm. vity.—Notorkus tilos siozak for f hemelves, and in this' case an honest man Will Wzwt 110 slur fo rouse his imlignation. M; , 11 of a iliftrent chiracter would do well to consider what their security is with a Minister who breaks, •wii hopt scruple, thou h all engagements of parts, awl is weak enoti;;lt to set all public shame tat delimots. Thee is a firmness of Lharacter which will suppsrt a Niiilister even agalmt his vices ; but where is the dependence otitis friends, when they have no hold either on kis heart br his understan , :ing. Detected by the hater part of mankind, he will soon he suspecied by the worst ; for. no man relies securel) on another whban he thinks less honest anil less • wise than himself. In the present it ..lance the Duke of G raftnn may possibl? find that he has played a foolish game. .'H rose by Mr. Wilkes's p! - pulanty , and it is not improbable that he dirty fall . by it.
