COBBETT AND WOOLEIL

Every limn who hat any attention to the
career of William Cobbett, must have been struck by
the practice which he has long indulged in, of pointing
out curtain persons in this country, as tit to be, what Ins
calls, " remembered" by the people. In the former
numbers of his political pamphlet, we have had re-
peated lists of those uVortunalcs who have incurred
the displeasure of this doughty champion of Jacobin.
ism, and in the one published last week, we find one
more added to the number. General Ackland, tin. the
part which he took in suppressing the disturbances
aiming the Luddites " ought to be remembered." Twice,
in the same pa:nphlet, is this horrible incentive to as..
sassination repeated, tin- what else is meant by it but
assassination ? In tinsner numbers he has told us that
the day will come, when the people may be benetitted
by " remembering" such and such a man. Thus murk.
ing them down in his black list—in his bloody book of
proscription, as victims fir the knife, should the hour
of tumult which he so ea.:crly anticipates, ever arrive.
%Veil may the persons, however, whom he calls his
enemies lla•give him ; li'r his cuts anti his stabs at
those whom he has desigt:iitea us his friends—..t those
uho have laboured in the same vocation, are not less
malignantly given. He gets into debt, and then pays
his creditors by abusing them : he runs away and the
political friend who dares hint at his cowardice is doom-
ed to feel the scalping knife of this barbarian. Among
those who hinted at this cowardice was Mr. IVtioler,
(the Black Dwarf) who thought, with many others,
that Mr. Cobbett, in his flight, had shown more regard
to his personal safety than to the interests of the great
course in which he was engaged. drew fOrth mud:
abuse fro:n the .SydnT of Long Island, which appeared
a tew weeks ago in the 'political pamphlet. But the El
measure of his wrath was reserved for his publication
of yesterday week, in which we find it thus poured
forth :—" Mr. Wooler's ground of action upon this
occasion arose from personal revenge, and revenge, too,
growing oat of mercenary motives. To make good this
charge, which is the heaviest that lever preferred against
man, I have only to state to you, that I have it in my
power, completely to prove, front evidence recently re,
ceived, that his unmannerly, his ferocious, his cowardly
attack upon me when he knew that there was nobody
to face him but women and children, arose from Ids
having been turned gif, as printer to the Register in
London, on account of his dilatoriness, his inaccuracies,
and his slovenliness, arising from his drunkenness and
dissolute life."
On the publication of this at New York, (the pam-
phlet being always published there previous to its de.
purture tin. England) a friend of Mr. %Vooler stept
forth with the following deposition, in the authenticity
of whose statement, Mr. Wooler's friends here will no
doubt implicitly believe. A New York paper thus in.
troduces it :

" It may be remembered, that on the 19th of November
we republished an article from Cabot's Register, in which'
he eliargesWooler with dilatoriness, inaccuracy and slovenli.
ness (iii his business). arising from his drunkenness and disco.
lute life. In answer to an attack so serious, a personal friend
of Mr. Wooler has requested us to insert the following dew,.
sition. Impartiality demands of us to give a lair hearing to
both sides :

" Dec. 1, 42 of Independence, or 1527.
" Whereas I, 'William Clark, late of London, having been intl.
tnately acquainted with T. J. %Vex,ler for between two and throe
yews, make oath that the charge Mr. Coblieu has made in his Regis...
ter of Oct. 30, 1817, is intlimoutily false, to wit—his dilatoriness, his
inaccuracies, and his sloveliness, arising from his drunkenne,s and
dissolute life." The fact is, that Mr. Wooler is a remarkably sober
man, and of un irreproachable character as to morals and vital.,
Having known Mr. U'ouler in different circumstances of life, I do
positively swear that I never knew a falsity to escape his lips ; and
further, that heholdsin'abhorence any person that has been known to
tell a lie. " WILLIAM CLARE.
