cuns your memory, and for ages deteit you

can reach you, truth you lhall hear, whatever
fentiments it may excite.
A6SFTrsn, Sir, to live at this great die

me Your perion, and the mferable crew
with you, never knew, and never deliTe TO

would perhaps have excied no attention
from mankind while you lived, and your me
mores would have rotted in The fame tomb
with your carcafes, had not the part you
acted at Aamance rendered you infamous,
and murder, bIoodihed and wanton cruelty,
made you borriby eonlpieNsas.
Ii leems a certain number Of this Paper
has lafely reached Newbern. Leonidas has
not only attacked lome Of the kidney here,
but has prefump;uouAy dared intenogate
the Carolaa WGrior, 1RYoN himlelf!
has dared interrogate him too, at time
when he was fuuounded with guards, and
with brutal violence plundering the country
he was commiAioned TO protect. Such in
foence was inluferable, and as you could
not ma0Grf, you took another method of
revenge on the poor Printer. You thought
proper to call the metropolis of fate to-
gether, and there to arraign, coued and
condemn, but unhappy could not fcaffold
him. However, in humble imitation of your
be,ters at home, you gave the poor harmless
paper the fame fate rs the famed North Bn-
ton, to be burnt by the common hsngman.
Poferi:y will perhaps think the whole
farce, or fufpsa the hiHorisn to be only
ineering, flould they be told their aDceitors
were folemnly convened at town meeting,
with all the legal formalities, with every
countenance expecting importance, and
every member in high debate about what !
