! These, now, arc exactly the sentiments
! which we ourselves were incolcating from
the fr.t. when We were thrcateued with
! lar and feathers for expressing them. We
were induced 10 thisk such a course the
! most expedient for two reasons !: first, be-
cause tie outrage might be unauthorized
and would be disayowed BY the British
government: and seconds, because whe.
lher authorised or DOT, the economical po-

claims, and that every day Of procras;ina
ZION would, if properly employed, aug.

I've claim some merit for having asserted
these opinions wi,hou. reserve, when TO
assert them brought upon US the dsnun-
cia.ious of patriotic prints and patriotic
town meetings, and threats OF personal u.
olence from patriotic conventions st beer
houses, and when some other editors 10

the current which was threatening to plunge
