The recorder, or, Lady's and gentleman's miscellany. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1801-1802, 1802-05-19
Mr.. AUGUSTINE DAVIS.

IT has been our ffudy &c fan all difputes
with Other newsprnters, especially in Rich
mond. When the pr;ntef of the Virginia
Gazette was Unchanged from the Richmond
pof Office, the Recorder was az iome pains in
explaining the meanrefs of Granger conduct
towards him. When MIR. Davis and Mr.
Tones, about eighteen months ago, fell into
pcrional quarrel, Mr.. Davis, received a
ine(tage that " Calender" had nothing to do
with the Examiners part of it. In word,
70; above two years and an half, every thing
has been done, Upon our part, which couia he
dane, to keep MIR. Davis iii good hunour.
Now, take notice of what follows " But IN

Feaik then, in the narae Of common fenie,

bEfosoIRg? AT the diltance Of three months
and an bali, after the fine had been paid into
The federal treaiury, Mr JefFerfon made c..
Prelcnt Of two hundred dollars; bur this
could NOT be the reulid;on q a me. You might
IS well fpeak about the re(urrs57ior Of the
dfad. The fine had been paid and the
tranla6t;ou clofed.
IS for Aander, Mr.. Davis wei! knows that
he has pu5lilhed great DEAL Although we
do nos knoH that be ever wrote any. The
Virginia Gazette was the vehicle through
which John Nicholas, clerk of Alberrharie
county pubIifhed his account Of TAFer(on's
Brit,6 6ankrKbfcy; as well as of his marina
~ tyebiduij1H, when the Britiln approached
Richmond All thcfe fories have Seen ut
terly rsfJeea; but Mr.. Davis has never
tholl'it proper TO acknowledge that they were
70.
BIT what does Mr.. Davis mean bykeepjno
up iuch an eternal racket as to Hack generals,
and 6lack victories, and the difficulty or i'm
poAibiIity that the RebubHe (forfooth j of St.
Domingo can ever be conquered? See, for OK

day; and indeed the whole fct Of bis rewspa-
