to our own affairs, strive to meet the good will
Of the world Ito crafty our patrons; and he
who may attempt our injury, shall be consid-
man, as an incsndiary, and AZ such he shall be
treated.
We submit onr case TO tho decision Of the
tribunal Of the public, and shall bow with def
erencc to it's verdict. We ask no one TO pa
tronizc us, who may not consider US deserving
of their good will and kndnesses; and with one
more remark, We bid the subject farewell for
ever. .a
In Justice TO Mr.. Southworth, who has been
the principal sufferer in feelings and in fame
during the whole Of the vexations to which oul
paper has been subjected, We now bear iesti-
lnony TO the uprightncss of his conduct. and
avow, that since We have known him, he has
supported the character Of a gentleman. lie
has exertcd himself to promote our interests,
has evinced the utmost industry and persescr-
ance; and feeling lively interest N whatever
relates to US, has made every effort in his pow
er, 10 promote our prosperity, and we shall not
SEQ him DETAINED.
Mr.. Southworth, have been chgendered, not
by his faults, but his poverty. Selling hold
Of this misfortune, his traducers have at
tempted TO hold him up to the world as
unworthy of attention, when il he pos
sessed the wealth aud advantages which
hundreds less meritOrious enjoy, he would
have been (avoured with the sycophantic
smiles Of a thousand fawning knaves, who
would now reduce him down 10 their own lev
ell. Considering ourselves bound to defend an
individual, who has suffered so much persecu-
ton in our cause, we will protect him so far as
we have the power, and we are ready to have
his private fame compared with that of any
of those, who have Indignantly assailed him.
Though poor he is an honorable man, and thus
far in life has not wrongcd any man, or swim
died the public. He is young, industrious, and
persevering, and like macy others, is strug-
Cling to overcome the embarassmcnts which
have long annoyed him; and il is cowardly and
cruel to attempt TO cut OFF the prospe cts, and
the living of man, who tolls necessarily TO
support young and interesting family.
We should violate the first and noblcst Of
fees of oar hearts did VIC not offer our sin
cere thanks to those who have supported us,
and wo assure each and all, that their many
acts Of kindness will not be forgotten; and in
the sane breath, We are proud to say, that
many gentlemen, of the greatest respectablity
and influence, have .f;cn stepped forward, and
unsolicited, offered lis any pecuniary assistance
we NAV need, and that our credit yet stands
unimparcd, notwithstanding The many attempts
that have boen made TO destroy it. For the
truth of what we have said, relative to our
prosecutions, we appeal to those who have
noticed the course Of conduct pursued towards
us by the presses of the town; and thus re-
marking, we take leave ofihe subject.
SMITH Il PARMENTER.
p s. We wish to have it understood, that
in making the foregoing remarks, we do not
intend 10 charge the Manufacturers and Far
mers' Journal, with having taken a stand
against us, since the time that the present Ed
itor Of the Rhode-Island American left that
paper; and We are assured by the proprie-
tor of the Journal tina; the remarks relative TO
the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the press, Published in
that paper OH Monday last, were intended to
have general bearing and not exclusively for
any particular establishment.
A CARp.-In reply to the note of w. 81
mons, contained in the Patriot Of last Satur-
day, have to say, that the whole of it is
tissue of falsehoods As to my writings for that
papor, they were as numerous as ] formerly
stated, and can be proved by the compositors
in that Office; and az have not yet been paid
for them, shall appeal to n jury of my coun-
try for compensation. In reply to the asser-
tion,, that at the time wrote in favour Of the
interests Of Mr. Burgess, also wrote es-
says in favor Of r. Eddy, pronounce il utter
ly false, and challenge MIR. Simons to adduce
particle Of proof.
In reply to the note Of F. Y. Carlile, re-
peat, that l was a constant contributor to his
paper, for the time before specified, and that
he made Inc frequent o,ertures to become
the editor Of his paper. In the monthof July
last, whilst Mr.. Patten held the seat Of Editor
Of the American, as he was very much engag
ed in his professional pursuits, Mr.. Carlile
called upon Inc to write him column Of
original matter per week, which l agreed TO
do for the sum Of five dollars the week.
This commenced doing, and wrote him long
article on the death of Messrs. Adams and JET
ferson, which for some cause was not publish
ed. These arrangements were made coniiden-
tally between us, as l was unwilling my pub
lishers should be aware of them; bu having
uscertained that they had discovered me,
abandoned the undertaking. From that time,
till three days pre- ious to his arrangement with
the pi e.ent Editor Of the American, he was
importunate, when frankly told him that no
offer could induce ne to leave Messrs Smith
& Parmentcr, and there our negotiations ended
