tanes Of n~sahyaihtss thousand miles. and not
being aware. that he has any claim to our re-
spsct or good will. we shall not spend much
ttns to uommuns with him. As to tho article
which sssailed the memory Of the late Doctor
HolLEr. with an air Of aspsrity. and = viru-
isncs. which fully bespoke the mslignity Of the
heart Of him who wrote il. Il was copied by
~ from the M~issssippian, whore We supposed
II originated. But be this ~ il may. its Ian
guags and tenor wore adopted BY the JMissis-
sippian; and he who adopts the language Of
q common calumniator. is no better than the
traducer Of dead mems fame.
When we get ready, and Il shall suit our
pleasure and convenience, we shall inform the
Editor Of the Missippian. 20 how . Unitarian,
can practice the doctrine no believes, without
inculca.ing d~sistical principlss." Until il pless-
% Us to do so, the gentleman may bite his
thumb at Us. and keep perfectly cool.
"Last ofali, Satan came also, " in the shape
ofSrEPurN SuMPsoN, Editor Of the Philsdel-
phia Muroury. and in his last paper, has honor

rise to an immodsrste Ct Of laughter. Hear

4 |. In the interval between the demise Of tho
Columbian Observer, and the birth Of this pa
per, many now monsters Of this species Of
Editors, had como out upon the world, Of
whom we were entirely ignorant. Among
these we had heard much Of a certain CADET
Of the land Of steady habits, who pretended to
q LITERARY character; but who belonged, in
respect TO calumny, to the race Of Anthropo-
phsgi. This creature we were told, would de-
YOUR ten regulations for a breakfast, and muir
der fifty Of the first characters Of the country,
for a snac ok before dinner. We felt some little
curiosity to see a monster Of this ravcnous ap-
petite; and accordingly. We Heon transmitted
him a little Mercury, to see how il would ope-
rate upon his Lionship, not dreaming that a
small prescription would 40 materially aztec q
his constitution But the very taste Of our
messenger, threw his godship into convulsion,,
and he raved most incoherently Of $50. 1000.
and bribes, and sea-voyages, and the shadows
Of the moonshine. But VIC were not very
easily frightened. and listened 10 his speech
with cold composure. We beg leave to amuse
the reader with one Of his pictures from an
old book, written by Shakespeare, that gives =
very Just idea Of this lion."
We know not. when we have had a richer treat
than the one We have found in poor Stephens
nonsense. We have almost burst our sides
With lsughter;-and If STEPHEN will, only have
che goodness to serve US up a similar dish eve
~ week. we will send him an extra copy Of
the Cadet gratis.
Poor fellow how he raves! But 80 on, sir
90 on,and whenever, you by your ribaldry and
nonsense, enkindle our ire, we will give you a
premium, and solicit Major Eaton, to give you
another slice of the $50. 900 fsnd.-But be care
ful, sir, and remember the auctionser!
