But old adversary, in bis clean bib and ucker-now

aside topes and figures and TO quit the land Of ioss
That will not be SO practicable while obliged to
keep the negborhood, of that misty parsonage and his
benighed followers. 1t would lave been wise, in those
gentlemen, and their nconsderate adherents, to have
acquesced in the policy recommended by the Deazpaye
GaSette. We have second public proof that the authors
of this taxnf the measure oppressive to this county
and so vastly mpolitic, in the dominant paryare now,
like the waggoner in the fablenot calling upon Hercules
but upon The editor of their journal to out and help
them. Suppose he was to come at their bidding like "a
spirit from the vastly deep We should ask better sport
Let that press and its known immediate supporters assume

tenders OF this inquous MEASURE and should soon
what would become of them, and their friends in the other
counties. 1t was policy equally weak and wicked that
ngs, it should be left TO shift for itself The indignation
which might subsde after while if it were left alone is
not likely to be alayed by course which adds bitter in
suit, cruel injustice. The wrong complained of bears
the sacred impress of law: and those who help
writng under torture, will endure great deal before
they break out into excuses, which would only degrade
them to the rank of their oppressors Are We to under
stand that the policy of opponents to goad into
resistance Let this be but attempted and the people OF
Newcastle will be brothers to man. Farewell then-a
long farewell to all the honors of court house bestoth the
