are determined not to be behind hand with
him. We have already spun our article
to too great length, and must therefore
conclude it for this day but we shall not
here dismiss the subject. The history CT

The following .uen,oire, as it is called,
was received at this Office On the 18th in
slant. without signature OF post-mark.
We think we nave been favored once, in
the course of the last month, with short
communication in the same handwriting
but of this, we are not absolutel y certain,
having conformably to request, put it out
Of our power to compare the oEc with the
other. It would seem also, that he only
who wrote the other could know the con-
tents of the present. We pray to God,
that what is here transferred to the pub
lie, verbatim and literatim, as it came in
to our hands, may be conjecture never to
be realized; but there are 50 many recent
circumstances which all point to the same
Object, as to stamp the communication
with different character.--We have
watched the current Of public affairs with
steady and undated attention, and sim
cerely believe, that an evil impends over
the United States Of the most dangerous
and appalling nature. As editors of free
press, and lovers of our country, wetrust
we here done oar duty. To our country
we leave it, to do theirs. After these OBJ
servstions we present the paper as follows,
for as much as it is worth.
