Wore wo disposed 10 arnusc ourselves at the
expense Of Mr.. Simpson, wo might stop to
point TO the numerous grammatical inaccusa-
ciss, which are contained IN the fore going cx-
tract, bet as the production is entitled to other
n~rotieo, we shall not pause 10 cons dor its Ito
rary merits. though wa must say. that the es-
say discovess no small Ignorance OF the Kings
-Englisa. For instoncc, take the following
sentence, and make English Of it who can:
"Ths Editor Of the Providence Literary
Cadet, so celebrated for is extravaganza end
Sisbolical libels upsn General Jackson, has
skoasrcd VS. with 4 column of very accomplish
eH abuse, in his joJrnal of tho 18Th, not so in
'dicstive OF hs being a gentleman, us a vulgar

Acceriing to Mr.. Simpsoa-and we tako
him as no presents himself, "theEditor Of the
Peovidencs Literary Cadet IS celebrated for its
extravagant aud diabolicai Iibe!s," &c. and il
Mr.. Simpson will have the goodness TO advise
NJ, upon what principles of grammar he writes
and by what method ho can make good Eng
iish Of the quoted passage, NC shall DO greatly
Obliged to him.. But this is small business, il
u hardly worth noticing, and wc proceed to
reply to tho moro serious part Of Mr.. Simpsons
Distinguished essay.
A. to the original founder, Of the Columbian
Observer, NO know nothing Of tho'n, further
than what was derived from common report,
and that informed US. that il was established
BY Messrs. EATON and DALLAS, and on the
authority ! Of information thus derived, we stated
what wo Supposed TO he = fact,to the American
pubiic, ana il VIC worc Inaccurate, the error
can easily 10 mendcd, and Nr. Simpson will
no, roalize any particular disadvantage from
the fact. We care not, whether Mcssrs Eaton
and Dallas, were, or wcro not. tho original
founders Of tho Columbian Observer, since il is
we'll known, aud has been amply proved, that

paper, and in consequence Of its failure, SUI

in all human probability never will bo enabled

we never expected he would display. on a pre-

the sums he was known 10 advance, unless he
was secured by a lien on the establishment.
But as we arc not disposed to trouble our
solves with the pccuniary relations of Stephen
Simpson, a man who is as destitute of political
integrity, as ho is Of the attributes Of a gentle
man, we shall dismiss the subject 10 a very few
minutes.
It's evident from the whole Of Mr. Simpsons
shss he is anxious TO draw us into an inky war;
and this being his intention, we have only to
say 10 him, come on sir, conc on, and we shall
be ready to meet your attacks. We neither
seek or decline a controversy with any one,
but If Mr.. Simpson, prctcnds to assume, that
NC are not actuaied by proper and patriotic
metives, in supporting tho present administra-
zion, he will be pleased to produce his proofs,
and make good his charges. IL he expects to
wound our sensibilitics, or enkindlc our indig-
nation, by tho application of scurrility and OBJ
scene personalities, he will fad himself mis-

abortions Of Stephen Simpson and company
