We this day publish two of the letters that hav,
recently been written by the Hon. Dutee J. Pcarce
and the Hon. Tristan Burgess, and we intend to
publish Mr.. P's. Of the 22d ult., next week. w,
invite the attention of readers TO them not be-
we think, in general, that personalities, and
traits of private history of individuals, are proper
subjects of newspaper publications but because we
know that in the present instance Mr.. Pearce has
been provoked to this course, by the abusive person
alities with which Mr. Burgess has INDUCED himself
Pearce's expense. Before the spring election, Mr..
Burgess grossly abused Mr.. Pearce at a caucus at
the Town-house in Providence and in consequence
of his having done so, Mr.. Pearce in an article pub
gave notice that he would vindcatc himself on the
first suitable occasion that presented. None had
presented that Mr.. Pearce could well avail himself
of; and Mr. Burgess probably thought, that Mr.
Pearce covered before his slandcrous tongue; and
few days before the late August election Mr. Bur-
ges, came out of his way far as this town. to at
tend whig caucus, and repeat and aggravate the
offence; and it has drawn down upon his head
castigation, such as no ordinary man could give !;
aud such as Mr.. Burgess and few such ertraordin-
ary men as himself could well deserve. We call
upon the editors of Herald of the Times, (who have
declared their intention publish the letter of Mr.
Burgess to publish both Sides do, and if they
mean fairly, they cannot well refuse to do so.

MIR. PEARCE'S REPLY.

WILLIAM SMoNs, ESQ
.Sn-I learn from the Journal of the 18th inst,
that our Ex- Representative, the venerable Tristan
Burgess is alive, is about sixty-fvc years DID, and
that for the last two years, his health has much im
proved.
His friends will, doubt, rejoice nt the informa-
ton they have received in regard to his health but
as to his age, although that has, heretofore, been
somewhat problematica-he affirming that he
of one age, aud others assuming that he of
other--the public have not mt this time, any great
interest," rs the people have declared him unseawor-
thy, and not fit for another voyage.
NV friends, who have lately the venerable
gentleman, have informed me, that from his present
appearance, it might well be inferred that he has
acknowledged himself to be.
My purpose at this time is to call the attention of
the public TO portions Of the venerable gentleman s
letter, which seems to be an attempt to reply to my
letter to YOU, Of the Odd uliimo this l shall do
coolly and dispassiouately having n high regard
for some of Mr.. BIS. family connexions, will not il
can possibly avoid it, wound their feelings, in ex-
posing his magnty, spleen and constitutional mfr
mites
The first subject for consideration arises out OF
what the venerable gentleman has learnt from Col
Patterson of Scituate, once Mr. BIS. friend, but
w'oherwise ;-ong ago mine, and my friend still
If Mr.. Burgess writes letters to reconcile himself to
all the citizens of this State, who have changed their
opinions of him, he will for some time to come, find
himself busily engaged, and not unoccupied, al
though relieved as he now is, from his abors in be-
half of the people Of this State, and of the public al
large.
j am well assured that Col. Patterson, is not sat
isied with his reply to the charges contained in my
letter Of the 23d ult, and more will be required than
the venerable genteman's simple denial Of them.
have neither time nor inclination to handy words
with the venerable gentleman and il had both
there are substantial reasons why should not ap-
ply opprobrous terms aud epithets to him, they
have been by him applied to me to him they have
often been applied, aud he is callous every thing
that would wound the feelings of honorable, high
minded mun they have been applied to him toe
often without effect, to induce me to undertake a
work Of superrogation that am correct in ths
concluson1o which have arrived will follow from

charitable to say that it made by him when be
was dcmen;ed and insane. Here is a direct charge
not only against me, but the officers of the House
including the Speaker; a charge against me of re,
ceiving per diem compensation for thirty -onc and
half days, of the session of the House, not only
when lmght not have attended, but when could
not for is receiving compensation for that number
OF days beyond the termination of the session itself
Now here is not only charge of forgery on my part,
but a conspring to cheat the public the part of
the Speaker and Sergeant at Arms, if not on their
part forgery Also Ineed not add that there is moth
ing to support this, make this declaration in the
face OF the world. What can say in addition
more than that "I pity the sorrows of poor old
man."
