AS Il always affords Us infinite delight TO
crafty the proetor,, and adheien,s of the Nler-
curry, as they ieem to be exceedingly elevated at
and hopeful and "hapPy" in conieqaence ct
the fentiments which were contained in cur latt
upon the iubjeet of RHtltdgs's eDaEh /; and
iince we have, a, length. bern 70 fopremely for
tunste as TO have hu on the means of giviag
them comfort, We ihall certainly. and with un-
ipeakable pleafure, exert our bea endesvors 70
fuaain, and augment it. ~
After much taught Grained fcrutinizing
analyGs, in which they verged uP,n the brin of
Latin, il ieems, {" il is evident" TO them that
ihoie fentiments were the Iefult Of " eia-
C,ia" and " morsifcahsa," of which they " are
happy TO diicover thar we arc yet fulcep,ibe." I"
But this full tide of ,hsir appreciation wafhes
in ore or f1v0 fnall particles of complaint. We
will hrft Icmove them, that we may for once
behold the clear waters Of their coincidence,
and fatissattion. One is that we ought TO have
{" ccnfursd Mr.. EIlcry" initcad of Z" revling
Mr.. Rutledge :" The other relates TO the name
Of our paper, which they FAY is +" falfely fyled
the Rhode IAsnd Republican The reafon
which they sHgn 10 fupport their petition, that
" has dilh,nored his party" We cannot ex-
prefi the f,wing meafure of gratitude which ~e
owe for this nanifef lymp,om of tender regard.
Bot their generous fouls may iet thcmfelves a,
ref on that icore. They need bevail no +" df-
honor" which may f,ll on the Republican /" paw
ty." They have penancc enough to do, TO a.
tone for the Fin, and wicked cnormities Of their
own. If,hey will only look ~ell 20 thernfelve..
and preierVe their own dignity, and {" honor,
it is as much as wc ak of thsm--mnch more
than we have resfon to expect. l
With regard to the "Eyir" Of our paper
(for We with to remedy, and remove every
ground of their Iamcntstion) it is pity their
objections TO it had not been known before il
wss adopted. So much do We rofpcd their
opinions, that they would undoubndly have
had great weight in producing choice Of
fomc other. But as il would be inconvenieot
TO alter il: and as il is not dininttly known
which of the brethren il is that objects at thi.
time-we hereby engage to take the riique up.
on our!elves, and to abfolve them from all ac-
countability on tha, account. L
Having made thefe ohfervs,iors by way Of
compliment, and in order tha, thofc illuarious
pcrfonages, nigh. enjoy. without any defalca.

we proceed TO add littic 20 The caulc which
has afforded them 10 much kstr and kabpncG.
In this hay. nov Of rapture they introduce
a "fstment, which (iSey fsy) is taken from

Nevertheless, whether the deponcp, ever fsorc
TO il may be doubted; for wc have recently had
ian,ples of ,ha, kind Of legerdcmsin within our
own oblervasion. The name of Z" Ben. Hazard"

number of aiiidsvis which originated in this
town; bu, he csnno, FAY that he admniReted

what he has told under oath. IL IL nor, there |

They take wonderful deal Of pain. to in
