MR.. WILLIAMS, OCuLIST,

the Observation-Disclosures resolved on Tuesday last, ript
tc CINCINNATI for one day only; returned again las
night. begin to feel that am very important ind-
vidna this Instant the Journal Of this city put
into ~ hand stating, amongst great many other
things, that had actual run away from Louisville
escape the effects of the wonderful magnetic lie
of doctor Snip, the knight of the thime, aims, $ $,
My return, however, proves that the fable of the BIO
and wolf is applicable to the Journal. The fable is
"A boy was ,ecmployedte watch and give the alarm,
when the wolf appeared; he being either footman,'a
ailor's p, liar frequently cried out the wolf in
coming, to the great dismay of the citizens I'll y't
last found out his real character: thai he was liar,
and be believed even when he spoke the TRUTH
The fact is, that causes must produce their effects. So
il will prove, of the a-wise writers, DIR. Snip & Co., in
the Journal. I would advise them to provide them
selves with engine press, in order to meet the
wonderful demand and increase of that paper it is
well known there are many who seek for nothing but
nlsehood of sheer love to the vendors of that art
Gle But unfortunately for Goliah Snip, of needle and
thimbe celebrity, the great mass of the millions of A.
meican people, are famed, and far famed as lovers OF
truth Therefore they will, las effects produced by the
cause s. naturally say, want to read paper, that |
may rely on therefore will seek SUCH and become
a subscriber the other journals, whose statements
will prs>t false. Their last statements pal
pal,e to require r,tutaton; yet will state:

OF being able to do the like? [ wish the Journal to
