believe, very dnprovoked attack has been made by
the Editors of this paper, which think it proper

point and pith and having occurred in public debate Or

assumed character ofcensors of the press undertake to in

assert that we have sbteuy copied this article And is
not little singular that almost in the same breath in which
they us for copyg this article, they admit that It
true, and that they themselves the first that gave
publicity it in print. They did not report it-oh
they disained soil the columns of the ntegencer with
bitettl commodiy-theY only printed it in pamphlet
and got paid for it. Now ask if this is not the very
climax Of modest assuancethat these gentlemen should
first issue from their press an article which is circulated
from one end of the the other that then c0by
