cd the following faFbaqa, he rn.sf have
known that is vas iuch:
As to the Sede.alifts, they viii believe any

printer who makes uie OF them.
We 60 back 20 Duane Without puoiih-
ing the above letter. there is full evidence hos
highly he was gratihed by the pcrnial of TIE
PTvpsSt Sone long raiiages Of The iecond
volume had been printed from the manutcript
by Mr Field. This was long before the
book itlelf appeared Duane, in his Aurora,
repubiihed one OF rheie extracts In 1 fho!t
preface, he obferved that the following chier
vations Came fror, the pen OF al author, who,
when he confines hmielf 70 facts and tenti-

He publ ilhcd the electromagnetic this preface
in the mida ofit. One OF thefe original Au-
roras may be lecn at this Office. Il IS in iticlf,
of very little concern 70 any Body what
Duane thinks ri Calender. But as the houle-
breaker taFs that ne has four thouiand fub-
icri5egS,i isis of great ocuiequence for all
thcie p2rions TO know that Re IS being I'M
worthy on truit and that ne has printed ten
thouiand h6tions for every aair on MS chin,
TITS leads vow 70 y,qure bv what motive Du~
ane has been irapellad to the publication Of
fuch tremendous fbsl The reiult is tllat he
wrote thento plea!e lone Of the prelent leaders
or the .epuhitcan party, who are juR about as
good as himielf.
Duane, at one time f3id that G. fed from
PHILADELPHIA for Healing mahogany; then it
was log itcsiing wood and withir the lai{
three week it has been transformed iato flight
from the paws OF the 1herif. He has quofed
a litter winch Caliender wrote to .gsutie-

Duane made much better newfpapey, two
years ago; and <. has NOT fcrupled 20 pr2iie

On the mere fcore Of ignorance and ftupidty.
Duane continues to thcunl upon iuhiects
which have had their day, which are e><haul}cd,
and 81 which the world IS completely tired
Calender has gradually discovered that null
