TO the Editor of the Watchman.


SIR-I had not learned until this morning. when
was informed by friend, that l had been char
ged in a late number of the Delaware Gazette, as
the author of The article signed Girls, which APP
peared in the Waterman of the 3Oth ut. YOU
will oblige me by stating, that am not the author
of Cicis and that hadno knowledge of it, or any
other article that appeared in that paper until saw
them in print.
have seen another assertion in late number Of
the same Gazette, attributing to me publication
which appeared in the Waterman, previously to
the late election in which the names of Mr.. Payn-
ter and other gentlemen were alluded to in terms OF
disrespect II is unnecessary for me to say to you,
that am not the author of that publication, The
only article written by me- in the Waterman, upon
The subject of the late election, written for the
purpose of preventing, far ii was in my power
to prevent, the system of abuse which had become
too common on those occasions, and which regard
| ed equally disgraceful and impotic. 1t was
written partly in reply to the very article which has
been charged to me by the Gazette; and will be
found in the Waterman Of the 18th of September.
The following is an extract from it:
"The remarks made by your correspondent M.
upon the conduct OF MIR Paynter when State Urea
surer, appear to TO have been entirely improper,
because do not perceive that the transactions he
alludes TO, furnish any ground of censure against
Mr.. Paynter or the gentlemen who are implicated
with him. take it for granted, until ihe contrary
be shewn, that Mr.. Paynter, in purchasing stock
for the state, gave fair market price and more,
and those from whom he purchased no doubt obtain
ed as much as they could, which they had right
to do. / know MIR. Paynter personally, and be-
lieve him to be perfectly upright as know him
to be very amable man, and should disdain, even
for electoneering purposes, to say of him or any
other what did not believe to be true. Let Mr..
Paynters personal and official character alone for
in both venture to say, he has demeaned himself
las good and honest man other and better grounds
may be found for opposing his election than person.
al abuse / shall vote against Mr. Paynter, but I
sha al all times feel for him the respect that is
due to his personal worth. Let Mr.. Harker abuse
Mr.. Hszzard.--It is his vocation--not one to be
initiated however--Mr. Hazards excellent char
acter is panoply amply sufficient to shield him a.
ganst the small artillery Of the Gazette"
Whatever may be my opinion OF Governor Payn-
ter's talents, of his moral character and amiablc
disposition have spoken in any other terms
than are here recorded.
From this statement, the public may learn properly
to appreciate the credit due 10 the gratuous as
sumptions Of the Editor Of the Delaware Gazette.
believe him to be man sufficiently unprincipled
to assert any fasehood propagate any SANDER
whatever. Further than this l think it unnecessa-
ny to notice him. w. P. BROBSON.

FoR TIE WATcRMAH.


Mr.. W1LsoN.-l hasten to inform "a. B." Of the
Waterman that "Gallery l.ounger' has accepted
the proposal for Matching and handsomely feather
ed himself for that purpose. The rapid growth of
his feathers should not be matter OF establishment,
as it is well known that &c Mr.. Lounger" is predis-
posed TO be goosey. He looks very queer
You must know that Gallery Lounger'' is gen.
orally supposed to be Sussex Lawyer, and little
touched with the blood of Old Rat" He DON'T
stand for FOUR DOLLARS nor FIVE, but will take
from client, any sum abovea quarter-dollar. This
|" Loungero is also the fellow who introduced into
the House oil Representatives, the resolutions against
capt. Bid6le, which he has since heartily con-
demned in the Delaware Gazette, under his sigma
ture of" Gallery Lounger." 1t is generally be-
lieyed the timid fellow got scared and flew the
course believing that capt. Bddle would send hira
Ia challenge il he persisted in supporting the said
resolutions. Whether or not this is the true rea-
son of his double-sided conduct relative to that
measure | cannot say but similar conduct with
regard TO the petition for the removal OF George
Read ESQ, does at least eylnce great lack OF
something 10 " Mr.. Lounger,' the possession of
which wonld make him much better man. Let
|" Mr. Lounger'' inform the public, by that motive
he was actuated Was he careful of wasting the
public money Was ne AFRAID OF capt. Bidder Or
is he indie ed foo3
can inform Gallery Lounger" that slime, the
mother of all things has disclosed many impor
tant facts with regard to him and among otherss
that Nature never designed him for lawyer, or
any other employment, save wherein bodily labor
is the only requisite. Let him remember, too that
Nature is not sighted and will not be mockeds
that he may speedily betake himself to the axe
the plough, in dutiful obedience to her laws, which
ne cannot violate. However, no motter'' for that
" aunLy'* let him stick 10 his feathers, for sea-
son, kind Nature, (and if his feathers won't stick TO
him they can be tarred on) and then cut him
down as a cumberer of the bar.' A JOSTLER.

upon all around him. He has heard that little learning

Bull ghts.-The Editor of the Delaware
Gazette, who he's lately made himself so shameful
lily notorious by his scandalous abuse OF the Legisa-
ture of Delaware; by his base calumniation of the
citizens OF Wilmington--and by his wanton asper-
sion of the character of MIR. Rodney, has stated in
his paper of the Sd inst. that he has seen ball
fights in our streets the Sabbath days In order
that persons unacquainted with Mr.. Harker's pro-
pensity for exaggeration, ito the mildcst term
we can in this case,) may not give too much credit
to any thing he says respecting what takes place in
our Borough, we are induced to give brief state
ment OF the occurrence which he builds his story oil
shall fights" upon.
Some time ago an Infatuated bull broke loose
from his enclosure in the neghborhood of this town
and ran through the Streets with number OF dog
and crowd OF persons after him. The town was
lin an uproar; and it was a considerable time be.
fore he was secured.
Mr.. Harker's diseased Imagination has at this late
day called up that occurrence and transformed il
into " baH fghtS." If he goes on little longer
in the same strain he has recently chartered in, he
will convince his readers that he is as mad as the
bull was.
Mr.. Rodney-The Del. Gazette Of the Sd inst
speaking OF this gentleman says" If the federal
lists have ever had an unwearied, unreenting per-
scouting enemy, MIR. Rodney has been that ONE"
We well know the malignant source from whence
this base SANDER 1t was dictated by revenge !;
for the author himself does not believe it. Nor is
believed by the federal party, several OF the most
respectable OF whom have expressed to us, not their
establishment, for they now know at whose beck
and bidding he acts but their indignation at Harker
Tor admitting such lie into his columns

Of satisfaction peculiarly its own. Many
ct Its inhabitants recollect, and nil have
heard OF your former residence in this
metropolis of the delight, with which
you we're here greeted, on your second
visit TO this country and of the ACCLAIM
alton of a grateful multitude which at
ended you, when sailing from this har-
nor, on your last departure from the
United States and also of that act Of
mumicence, by which, in later times,
you extended the hand of relief in their
distress.
These circumstances have impressed
upon the inhabitants of this city, vivid
recollection of your person, and a pecu-
liar interest in your character; endear-
ing you TO their remembrance, by scnti-
ments of personal gratitude as well as
by thlt sense of national obligation with
which the citizens of the United States
are universally penetrated.
With feelings Of this kind, the City
Council Of Boston, in accordance with
the general wish Of their constituents,
nave directed me TO address this letter
to you, and 10 express the hope that,
should it comport with your conven-
ience yon would do them the honor, on
your ensuing visit to the United States,
10 disembark in this City, and to commu.
nicate the assurance, that no event could,
possibly, be more grateful TO its lnhab-

1t will be seen by the following ragagh,
which we, copy from, the last Egis, that the
presidential question is at last settled What
a pity il is that those, who have made sos,uch
noise and contention about it, had not waited
till after the Charlton celebration it would
have saved world of ink,shed
{" We understand that, at the Charlton Eel.
ebration, repeated, and re-repeated sentiments
were uttered in favour Of JOHN Quincy AD-
ANS. This fact shows, that the people are
decidedly favourable TO the gentleman whose
claims to the next presidency stands firest
among the competitors"
Farther on in the same article it is saidthat
" common sense will teach any rotionaInan

sense" is a very convenient article, and les:

CHARLESTON, July 2.
We learn, by the arrival of the schr.
James Madison, Capt. Broekings, from
Baracoa, that on the 18th ult. pratt
cal barge, commanded by the notorious
francisco Chico Aragones, (brother to
the commander of the Saragosana, who
was taken TO Jamaica and hung) and
manned by twelve men, was captured
at Murcia, by some Spanish troops from
Aegean, in Cuba, after blockading that
port for six weeks. One nlan was kill
ed; the rest escaped on shore, but were
expected TO be taken, as they were sur
rounded and could not escape. Arago-
mes is the man WHO swore, some time
since, that he would never cut his hair
or nails, OF shave his beard, until he
had murdered 100 English, French, OF
Americans.
