: author,--"lie is utterly unable to discrim
mate between the doctrines, principles
! and acts of the man, and those of the poll
lician. Are they not both the offspring
of the same will, and the conclusions O
the very same understandings" Here the
learned man accused Mr.. CASTOR Of NOT be
ing able TO discriminate between the con

the next sentence, this young addison &C.
knowledges his own inability TO make the
same discrimination, by asking, "Are

Again, he Says, speaking of dishonest
men, "No, but knare as a lawyer; as
