Last week, we repuhlished :: piece from

mployed in editing newspapers in this

Fsiintendsito have it understood; that we are
si'sissdnsixioua to defend the characters thus attack

Zfsihonorsi; and is they have the meanneta to
submit patientiy to such insolence, in the o
Pinion of all virtuous and respectable per

think that the democratic majority of con
grees, would bite their fingers for vexation,
