As in the latter case harm was done by the exhibition of !
a bully as a hero, so in this (meaning, the article in the

lated to have a prejudicial effect upon the weak mird of
young persons, too strongly tempted to follow their .1

it discovers are unparalleled. This letter, from which the
Times takes occasion to represent itself as haein,y, been
charged with exciting esotianies towards the guilty execs-

and inflammatory. Ile is here described as " a C.:!!ri/../er,

a prompt and willing miscreant that writes thus. Las the
barefaced hypocrisy to add at the close cf
it—

And the Times, which gives a prompt and willing in-

" We ceriamly are not simple enough to hope to please (reef

But it seems the "outcry" of public execrati,n has
reached to the inmost recesses of tile l'rinting-liouso, and
