The following extract from Bordley's Hus

JUNIUS.
The North American Review, just published
| contains a review ofa small book printed last
year 10 this city entitled" Junius unmarked,
in which it was attempted TO show that Lord
George Sackve was thu author OF those cele-
brated etters under that signature. we do
not perceive that the reviewer any where di-
rectly dec lares his conviction OF the fact ; but
we infer from the general tone of bis lemaiks,
and the manner in which he speaks OF the ar
guments Of the work under review, that he has
no doubt Of Lord SackyIlle being the real in.

Horne Tooke's professions are not even nam

AS the finest model in the English language
OF that style which combines energy with pol
| ished case, the letters of Junius will never
cease TO be studied. But we hope they WI
be read with just discernment Of their moral
deformity, and deep disapproba'ion OF their
rancorous malice. While we resort to them
for the intellectual qualification and discipline
which they afford let us be cautious not 10
imhibe or initiate their malignant or revengefu
spirit We may his bow and qutver, but
lie, us not, like Junius, dip our arrows m pot
SON. We deprecate the prevalence OF that butter
ness and hatred, either private or political
which these letters are but two well adapted "a

Injustice, or the unfeeling cruelty of sentence
if II do but carry an agonizing pang TO tn
