i with consider able and characteristic dex-
Fterity. | feel assured, from my knowledge
of Mr. Foster, that he will not SO far forget
his dignity as to give the remarks OF Mr.. 2.
, even "a passing notice. and that the only SEN
timent, which those remarks can excite in
his bosom, will be that of profound pity for
their author. So far as the character of Mr.
Foster in this community is concerned. do
not doubt that he may safely permit the
spleen of Mr. Parish to exhaust itself unno-
r ticed. But the article of Mr. Parish will be
