ADVERTISER.
APRIL 2zd, 17^6.
LETTER 111. To CATO.
Ci A T O's partizans may call me furious ; I regard it
a not. There are men too, who have not virtue
^murh to be angry, and that crime perhaps is Cato'^
He who dares not offend cannot be honest. Having thus
balanced the charge, I proceed to Coto's fourth, 'fifth
^th and seventh letters, all of which as thev contain
m atter > I ^all drimifs with as little trouble and
1 is formality.
His fourth letter is introduced with a punning folilo
<piy—Cato's title to feliicquies is indisputable ; because
no man cares for his compny*. However, he disowns
the writing it, and assures his readers that it “ was really
put into his hands." I always confider this confirm
modi ' of expression, as betraying a suspicion of one's felf•
and in this place, it amounts to just as much as if Cato
ad said, 0 “ you know \nxfailing, £i rs , b ut w hat I tell
you now is really true." Well! be it s o , Cato; jou
fhul have ail the credit you ask for, and as to when' or
where, or how you got it, who was the author, or 'who
the giver, I sh 1] not enquire after ; being fully convin
ce I, by toe poetical merit of the performance, that tho'
the writer of it may be an Allen, he'll never be a RanfaA.
1 ^^ °' th ~ foDequy ; and if this gentle enable
mest should be the means of preventing Cato or his col
.mingling their punning nonsense with Sub-
! ects ., fu f h a Serious nature as the present one truly is
it will anf^er one of the ends it was intended for.'
Cato's fourth, and the greatett part of hs fif;h letter
are c^nflrufted on a falfe meaning uncivilly imp ,fed on
3 Pillage quoted from Common Sense ; and for ti c h the
fr h °r °i f th " ^ m ?" : ; h ; th a ri s ht toexpea from Cato
the ufaal concessions. I flull quote the pafhge entire
,th ca^ : additional meaning,Ld the in^X Xh
he draws therefrom.
He introduces it with faying, " In mv remarks on the
pamphlet before me, I ihall firft confider those rrfu
„ ™%° n r which ^ (the a -"° r ) appears to Uy hi s
chief stress; and these are colle&d.rfour hearts
<f 11 his conclusion one of which is, 66 It is & eftom
nations wren any two are at war, jor fame other
powers, not enraged in the quarrel, to sap in by way of
mediators, and bring about the preliminaries / a recce•
while America calls berfelf thef&d of Gre^t Bri'-
'°"' . bo ferwell-dfofed fee may be, can
offer her mentation: The meaning c^ta^id^ 1 this
p^e 13 so exceedingly plain, and expelled in such ea sy
'"^ a " ° f bei ^ made
P, 1# er. No one, I think, could have underdog it anv
r '!," ?' ' Wl " !e we continue to call ourfelvA
Linn lyefb, the quarrel between us can only I )P call
ed aJamil, quarrel, in which it would be juit as indelicate
for any otoer nation to advise, or any ways to me ole or
mak% even with their offers of mediation, as it would
be tor at tnird person to interfere in a quariel between a
man and his wife. Whereas, were we to make use of that
na , ral ,E ht which ail other nations have done before u<
„government of our own, independent of all tb'e
wo,ld, the quarrel could then be no longer called a fa-
% quarrel, hut a regular war between the two powers
0, Britain and America, in the fame manner as one ear
ned on between England and France; and in this hate
: n 4e Oration, the neutral powers might kindly
enJet their mediation, (as hath always been the prac
tice) and bring about the preliminaries of a peace. Not
"CT" I ', ?'? th . at . ls fi uite another thing. But iriffead
of Ca lO s taking it in this easy and natural sense, he flits
f w . r ° n g scent, charges the author with propefag
to call inJ reign afflane; and, under this wilful frifhuod,
raises up a mighty cry after nothing at all. He begins his
wild and unintelligible comment in the following man-
n la y s , e > (Meaning the passage already
quoted) common fenfa or common nonsense? Solely D ea<
„ Great Britain cannot be the obj # & of this writ'er,
« a rL r he horrible character be has given of the people
« '° at c °", r y > and telling us, that reconcili vi h
them would be our ruin. The latter part of the nara
" graph feeiris to cast some light upon the former, altho'
“it contradids it; for these mediators are not to inter
“ sere for making up the quarrel, but to widen it, by
“ fuDportmg us in a declaration, that we are not tn e fub
|tcts of Great-Binain : a new fott of business tiuly for
“ mediators! But this," continues Cato, “ leads us driest.
“ ly to the main enquiry, what foreign power is able to
“ us this fattort What support, Caro ? rhe paffige you
(her the remainder fee the Fourth Page.)

are not acquainted with the word Soliloquy, for tucii A.
formation the sense of it is given, viz, “ talking to onris

and humour.
llt is arrange thing that Cato cannot be taught to difin
gufl between peace and untold.
