There must be want of moral honestv-a want of every thing manly and honorable Iii a writer who could spend4so much time on an elaborate newspaper essay, for the ex- press purpose Of inluring a young man, whom he Aprofesses to have known from his < boyhood, i" and whose only alleged crime IS that of not being profound scholar, and | an inclination'to elothe himself with de- cent raiment!
