TO A CORRESPONDENT.

We tcnder our sincera thanks to n good
correspondent, who signs himself 90 Richard
De Lance" and whs; We assure him, that
we are no. insonsiblc how much we owe him
for his good intentions, we cannot consent to
publish his elaborate and well written CON-
munica,iou. That our friend may not charge
us with ngrati'ude and the absence of courtesy,
we shall pause to ass gn the reasons which
have induced US final determination.
We perceive from the tenor of the essay of
our fric nd, that he is willing to stand forward
in our defence, and whilst we confess, that,5y
thus doing, he prefers claims to our regard,
which cannot be well resisted we must inform
him, that we ever make il practice TO fight
our own battles, and defend our own cause.
This practice shall be orr rule and government,
so long as we possess these powers which God
has given us, nor shall we ask ;he aid of any
one, until the arrival Of that sad day, when
the relaxation Of the nerves and the clogging
Of the blood, marks us as victims Of disea9e
and points US to unknown worlds. IL we can
not defend ourselves, AMI that too, with sue
cess, VIC besccch the Great Prophet to erase
us from the tablets OF existence.
Orchard De Lance" has formed an opinion
that We are prosecuted, and says, "whenevcr
see fellow mortal alta cked by pack ofblood
grave; when see a man and brother, ,traduc-
ed, ,dishonorcd by the slanderer and his hearts
best interest destroyed--I look upon him as
prosecuted being. and my sympatLies are all
awakened in his behalf, and in the sadness of
the moment, I fly to his rescue" The senti-
ments Of Richard De Lance, are such as we
delight to honor, and we reverence tho heart
Of him who u,tcrs them But when ushcrcd
forth in our behalf, they are lost for they do
not apply to us we have never complain
ed Of persecution. We know not how to COM
is unworthy Of 4 man. |. is true thai we have
been assailcd by the Press, from the Bay Of
Fundy to lbe Sabine; and il is equally true
that wo have been illuminated and ira 'uced
by the scrbblcrs of the country from Walsh
down TO John Neal. But what Of that' Whn:
care we for the growlings Of the mnsiia, or the
winnings Of the cat IIc who associa tcs him
self with the press, must expect to find some
foul weather he cannot expect to be always
tire led as lie would be, and if he is as
sailed by united faction, With all lis ,ru-
lence and malicndy, hc must stand fran. de-
fend timseflo thc last, and sooner die than
act up a cry Of persecution. None bu, COW
ards, complain of persecution - the really val
innt scorn to complain. Daring our C.onncSion
with the press, il has been our fortune TO be
attacked and 1t has sometimes so happened,
III 4, we have been rendered ind gnant. not ct

thus to be chcated-I harbor no baggage with
in my mansion"
"Hannah, Hannah" responded, Obedah, |
am as,onshod at your conduct / lamen, your
mkindness, and denounce your cts as cold
and uncharitable. This hopeless, helpless ,and
innocent grl, has done you no injury, and in
moment of jealousy, you have cast her upon
the world and left her to fall victim, TO con-
tend with the hard hand Of adversely. You
might have protected her, and established her
fortunes, but you would not, and Cor the fo:lics
Of Harry. you drove her from your door. To-
wards these uLfortunatcs, the world is too Of
ten coldly inclined and thousands who might
nave been made happy, arc rendered miserable,
by the unjust suspicious of the world. This
poor girl, to whom you might have afforded
that protection to which she was entitled, IN a j
probability will now be ruined, and should she
fall into the snare, of vice and ignominy ,on your
head shall the sin fall - and in the bitterness Cf
griefwill you lamen, that you did not save her
Go, beseech you Hannah, and find her, take
her to your home make this dwelling an asy-
lum for the wretched one, and by your kind
ness and attention. make some amends for the
injury you have already done!
"That would do most cheerfully," replied
the iritated matron, but you must know o be-
dah. that I love Harry too we'll, to place
temptey before him; i underst md the glances
Of those roguish eyes of hs-I will not trust
him, and though you may continue to accuse
me of codncss, ngratitudc and jealousy, must
still protect Harry, and leave the Jezabel Clara
De Clare, to meet her fate. Obediah, indg-
nently threw down his cane pulled off his
wig, and hobbng to bed ,muttered variety of
imprecations, and still lamentcd the hard fate
of Clara De Clare, though he could not alcy-
ate her suiicrings. Two days had scarcely
elapsed, before we received at the cottage, the
mournful intelligence, that Clara, in consc-
quence Of being exposed to the inclemencies
Of the night, had become diseased; that a
violent fever soon took place, and that after
two days of suffering and mental anguish, she
descended to the city Of the dead, and thus
fell a martyr to the mischief making eyes Of
cousin Harry "a victim TO the cold hearted
ness and jealousy of aunt Hannah.

One Of the Cadet blundsrs, says the ideot Of
the Statesman was too good to oe overlooked.
it was this :-"Mr. Henshaw, has embarked
his fortune, in the sinking fortunes Of the
Statesman"
The measure Of our offending, ;s'found in the
fore going lines, and whilst We contend that
they are strictly correct, and written in com-
pliance with the rules Of Murray. Lowth, be.
we shall endeavour to simplify orr laAgusgsfa
such manner, as to render il comprehsnsible,
American Statesman.
But to explain, we have simply to remark,
that when We wrote the sentence to which the
writer in the Statesman has taken sxeoptisnss
We meant to say tina, Mr.. Hsnshaw,a man Pos-
scsscd Of handsome fortunes, had imprudsntly
embarked them in,or with the sinking foruass
Of the Statesman; or to render urselves ner0
perspicuons, we meant TO say and did say that
he had blended his good fortunes, with the dss~
perate ones of the Statesman-and by thus do
ing he had endangered his interests and his
reputation. To arrive at this meaning, We
made use ofthe language, 10 which tho writer
in the Statesman has taken sxeeptioas;-and
in doing which, he has made himself fool.
As it is possible, that we have not yet explaia-
ed 10 the sa,isfa cton of the Ststesmaa writer.
we will 60 still furiher.a and endsavour to render
our meaning still more palpuble. Suppose then
we should say, What we do not say-that Mr..
David Hen,haw, gentleman Of respectable
standing, and man Of some influence. has
very imprndeniy embarked his good fortunes
and his good fame. in the same enterprise. With
the bad fortunes and bad reputation Of Nathan
icl Greene, would no, our meaning be pslpabIs.,
and should we not write in compliance with
the rules Of Lo~th and Murray-snd should
we no, be understood II in tho one case We.
should be found correct, tho other would give
this same result

Those who remoinber the numerous obscene,
productions which Coleman has presented to-
the world, will smile at his sque aInshness, and
accuse him of rank hypoorcy. There was a,
time when George Colemen. held a rank but q.
very little elevated boy ond that which was once,
enjoyed by the Infamous John Earl of Rochos--
ter. His poem entitled "The Two Parsons.
or the Tale ot Shirt" published no lonrerr
ago than the year 1912. had a greater ten
deney 10 corrupt the manners of the age, than,
any poem, that has been written, since the,
commencement Of tho christian era. and yet
we find its author, IN the year 1928, holding.
the respectable Office of censor Of the British,
Drama, and vchemenly declsmng against the,
improrriet ties of modern dramaiists. We shonldt
az soon thought Of appointing George Barring--
ton 20 the office of Dramatic Censor, as George,
Coleman.

GHAMnIARIAN. A writer in the Boston
Daily American Statesmen, Of Thursday, has
found fault with our grammar, and in an ar.
tcle Of some length, sueers at us and our pa
per- To show how well qualified the gentle
man is for the performance Of his task as critic
and grammaran, He have only to copy the
Introductory paragraph to his essay.
''Tho Providence Literary Cadet. so calcd,
about month ago tpray what is orr paper
called now'] was taken sick of [oi!l short
paragraph IN the Sta tos,nan. He undertook
10 write down his complaints, in doing which,
he made two columns of Rhode Island English
aud pe'JccNy original grammsi. Such an
exhibition was never before sio,ca Off gratis
con the face Of newspaper" The lengthy
spectacle caught the eye Of an old fashioned
believer in Louh and Murry. Struck with its
macy Improvements IN his mother tongue, hr
selected few of he best, and laid them be-
fore the public in order that the Boston Lit
crali might see their beauty, and ingrGH them
on The language
1.-THE writer ~ the Statesman, or the editors
Of that paper, viii render the above passag ga
into correct English, he or they, will DO a ser
vice TO the world, which the world should
freely repay. Before we part with this silly
affair, it may bo well enough to suggest TO tho
editors ofthc Boston Statesman, the proprie'y
Of their learning the meaning Of the common
place words of the language, bofors they rem
der themselves rdculous, by making use of
words which they, cannot define. Will the
gentlemen have the goodness 10 inform us how
they define the word "mgraf"--and will they
have the goodness to suggest 10 their cores
pondent, the expediency Of hs making bln. ~olf
acquainted with the " Young Lady's Acct
dencc," and Doctor Johnson's Dictionary.
The article TO which We refer, cont tanned be-
sides the physiological and grammatical blum
der already pointed out, twenty two instances
Of false grammar, all Of which sc have no.
ticod, and shall attend 10 at our leisure.
The crammarifn has poincod upon two lines
Of ours, and says they aro written in violation
Of all the rules Of Lowth and Lindley Mutfsy.

n:sh language and brains for the IDIOT. we will
explain, aud bring tho lines down 10 the stand.

the nature Of the attack, but at its manner -
We have been chagrined and vexed, but
when we have reflected on the matter, we
have laughed at our own folly, and become
happy and grown fat;--and now thank Heav-
en,wc care not for the magnity Of our cotem-
poaries their virulence only excl es our meri-
mcnt and laughter.
Eut there is a ay.in which we have been at
tackled which has awakened our Indignation
mor'iica,on-dsgust. pity and contempt.
Since the commencement. OF the Cadet, it has
been our fortune 10 differ WITH one or two Of
our cotcmporarics residing in the town, and
because We nave uttered sentiments. which do
not agree with them, we haze incurred their
displeasure, and their hatred Conscious. thai,
they arc IN error, they have not had the
hardhood to meet us in their papers, but have
adopted another course for revenge-and such
a course as an honorable man would scorn to
adopt. They have secretly retaied ISLANDERS
in the highways and byc-ways, and with an
eagernoss which has had no parallel in the an
nails of mans degradation, they have strivcn
to njurc us, by distributing the scandulous sto-
res which have been generated by the ma
licious, to blacken our private fame. This
has been in secret, and in such q manner as
to prevent the possibility of detection--the
possibility of defence.
To add to the aggavatcd injuries VIC have
sustained, letters have been written, and pub
lis9ed in distant papers, in which we have
been maliciousy libelled; and every effort
which human ingenuity could devise. has been
rcsorted to, 10 lessen our paper in the es,ima-
ton ofthe world. Thus have we been as
sailed by the midnight assassin, and desperate /;
thus have we boon basely wronged by those
who were too cowardly TO assa us in the light
of the day, and too vile TO dare to make them
selves known, and thus run the risk Of incur
ing the penalty to winch they are entitled, and
which ought to be awarded TO the abandoned
prohigatc, and midnight murderer. But still,
we complain not Of persecution, and are ready
TO meet the attacks Of the foe. In all our diff
hculies and perplenities, we wish to stand
alone, and unaided. If we have friends, who
are pleased to appreciate our course Of conduct
we thank them for their Kindness, but in no
Instance, can we consent that they should be-
come partners to our troubles. II is not the
province of friend to draw those who are
kindly attached to him, into his private diff
hcultles On the contrary, it IS the duty Of
friend TO screen his neighbors from his pri-
vatc fueds and squabbles ;--he 10 bound by
the principles of honor and justice, to fight his
own battles, and stand or fall by himself
THUS considering the case, and thus reason
ing, we must again and again decline accept
ing the prohered services Of " Richard De
Lance" whilst we salute him with our as
surances Of our unfeigned regard and friend
ship, and remain his obliged, and most obedi.
ent, and very humble servant
