Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1827-08-01

mixed up i'll the composition of Isaac HILL, Ed
itor Of the New-Hampshire Patriot, than there
is generally infused into fifty similar Jumps Of
mortality. Having grown arrogant with the
success that formerly attended his labors, and
his writings, during the existence of the ram
corous feelings and angry humors which for
merly distracted the two great political parties,
the Democrats and Federalisis; and finding
himself in the wane at this particular juncturc,
he is exceedingly restive, and vents his spite
and venom upon all who come near him, wheth-
er they be friends or foes. His writings were
always marked by an unusual degree Of vru-
lence indeed, their merit consisted in their
violence but of late, they are rendered unusu-
ally offensive and disgusting.
In the same town, CConcordl where the Pa
triot is published. there is another paper, enti-
tied the New-H Hampshire Journal. and conduct
cd with signal ability. by Mr.. JAcoB B. MooRE.
the brother-in-law of Mr.. Hill. and his former
partner. The Journal is warmly attached to
the present Administration, and whilst the Pa
trot scatters it's seeds Of dscord and anarchy,
the Journal struggles to support the very meas
ures the Patriot opposes, and to destroy the
Geleterious Influences which that paper strug-
giles to engender. Hence it is, that the two
papers do not sail very quietly together, for
what is a VIII ole-sail, and pleasant breeze to
the one, is an adverse gale TO the other, and
brings it to close reefed 'opsas. The Editors
quarrel, and though Mr.. Moore does not vent
the full measure of his ire, Mr.. Hill goes the
whole, and very uncerefnoniously denounces
him as a vagabond. and applies to HIM epithets,
which are due only to the infamous and de-
graded. The Patriot Of last week. when speak
ing Of Mr.. Moore, made use Of the following
offensive laugnage:
He, TMS. Moorel is person who has
proved hinrsef tlitbless and recreant in his
engagements, and who is destitute alike OF
moral and OF political honesty"
We quote the language Of Mr.. Hill, merely
to show the disposition of the man;-and il
proves that he is dead to all the finer sensibili-
bilities Of our natures. and to carry point.
would disturb the sanctuary of the dead, and
violate. and burst asundcr the ties Of consan-
guinty. The foul and malignant language thus
employed by him, is applied to gentleman,
the husband Of the sister Of his wife, gentle
man who has ever sustained an rreproa chable
reputation. and who is in the enjoyment of the
confidence Of his fellow-ctizcns. and is now in
the occupation Of a responsible office, the gif
Of his native State, conferred, in evidence ofh.
merits, and of their confidence in his integrity
I, forms no part Of our duty, to interfere il
tie quarrels Of distant Editors, nor shall w
10 so; = but our respect for the talents OF Mr.
Moore, and our admiration Of his politica
course Of conduct, induces US TO notice th'
shameful manner in which he is assailed b.
his competitor-by a man, who perverts In
mind, and prostitutes his talents, his education
and his original principles, for the attainmen
of unjust, unhallowcd, unrighteous, and shame
fuI purposes.
Beyond mere political anmosi,ics, which Mr.
4 Hill cherisbes, other causes induce HIM TO pur
sue Nr. Moore, with all the unrelentng fur,
Of fanatic. Jealousy. il is said, is the basi
on which this hostility rests; and yielding Il
r the indictments Of the green-eycd monster, Nj
4 fIll leads life Of torture. and is at all time
hung upon the tenier-books Of wretchedness.
Ii is. said. with much apparent candor an
r truth. by those who are acquainted with th
facts and the parties, that Mr.. Hill, fndiinl
that Moore, as public writer. had ben ~
