We ihed rear over The flent relics, and with
caotions delilrration, examine the character of
a man who cannot vindicate his own inte,si.y.
Hamilton has Attended 10 his God, and cor

desi;ai osss,nsee ihould be iriproved TO the hap
pinefs Of fociety. He aands naked f?i,i, be-
fore that tribuosl. which cannot be Influenced
in its deciGon, by contention of parties, and re-
ceives his plaudit or condemnation, by nat
winch no earthly veto can arrea. 4
