certain individual of this place, whom you knaw
not to be OF yonrpoi,ical creed, '.lorsigner,
either id low Irish or Scotch, and that he would
no. hold the one Office Or the other.n
Nth regard 10 the first charge alladged agains,
him, as to his being id, he ilatly and distinctly
deniesIt--the charge must, therefore, as a matter
course, Dc thrown in the .esth ofths author with
the utmost scorn and contempt, 10 ;ha second
charge slow Irish, }" which has no foundation what
ever III truth, but is gross asehood, it must co. as
il does, for nothing. Admitting, Tor arguments
sake, this allegation to be true, thinks he would
have legs reason 20 blush for his country than some
who can trace their origin from below tho noted
"Cotton-tcee" which stands beyond the pale of ci-
viliZaton.
As 10 thu third charge, SLOW Scotch" he freely
and cheeriully acknowledges tina, he is q native Of
Caledonia, and feels justly proud ofit.-tIe also
admits b.ng low in stature, yet Al the same time,
considers hinselfby an inch taller than his worthy
opponent so much for this charge.
Now fol the fourth and last, but not the least,
shat he would no. hold the ono Office or the 9TH
en-" The gentlenan--ifhe may be go tcrmsd-at
the time he framed this random charge, ought TO
have known that ".oseignsr,' in a state of ali
enation, Cannot, by the constitution Of the United
States of America, be eligible ~ any Office under
government. Moreover, the individual holds no of
lice whatever, consequentiyh he cannot be deprived
of that which he never possessed. This vapid
charge is unsupported by any thing but the Ups.
dirt Of the opponent, and he being ,ho accuse,
and an Interested party in tha case, his evidence
must lie inrctentts.

of polished composition.
The great Peter Corneille, whose
genius resembled that Of our Shaks-

the sublime sentiments of the hero, had
nothing in his exterior that indicated
hisgenius: on the contrary his CONVEX

ed Of wearying Nature, who had
lavished on him the gifts Of genius,
had forgotten to blend with them her
more ordinary ones. He did not even
speak correctly that language Of which
he was such master.
When his friends represented to him
how much more he might please by
disdaining to correct these trivial errors
he would smile, aud say-"l am not
the less Peter Corneille !"
