to-fifty seen with astonishment
the following paragraph in Tice Statesman of Mona
day last :
'All the manufactnring tdWns are in the ut-
most NiSeret,s. At Gletsgo;v arid Paishty *scene's'
have been 't4bibitell, which it his not been deem-
ed proper to narrAte. Almost the 'tvli,ole popula-
tion of Paisley, men, women, and children, turn-
ed Out one day last week, and ptikrilded the town
with flags, idscribed—Bread or 131u0d.'
" Whence theliditor of the Statesman procured,
materials for such averments, will probably be the
object of enquiry hereafter; but, in the meats
time, co,nsldEr it My duty to state, that a, more
unfounded and defamatory libel never emanated
front a licedtious,spress. The populace bf linisley,
enlightened and intelligent beyond those of most
towns in the island, have lung been distinguish-
ed fa regular and ecirreet deportment, un.d never
was there a time when greater tranquillity and
good order prevailed
,intougst them. A consci-
ousness of the tow falsehood of every word con-
tained in the unworthy and scandalous statement*
has eicited hidings of indignation amongst the
inhabitants of every rank, and frOm regard to
truth, and a principle of justice for the character
and reputation of usy fellow townsmen, I request
the earliest insertion of this ctimMitnieutiot4 in
your. respectable Paper.

Me was loose.;. and, affecting to find great diffi-
culty in fastening it, he desired to be shewn into
