But the Courier complains that do not deny the

suuies that we the organ OF any individual, and I'M
deFtakes TO inorrogate in that character, the
tempt with which shall trea, IFS interrogatores will
show that we recognize authority in that quarter to
put them. But to repel the nsnuatons which the
Courier itself makes TO his prejudice we do not hest
tate TO declare belief that the of the oppo

good sense and his patriosm and, will add, of his
attachment 10 the President, to suspect him of such
designs.
We repeat that this press is the organ Of no indivi
