Eve republish the following commu-
nication of"A Washingtonian' for the
purpose o fdoing justice to the writer, to
the community, to the memory of the
Apostle Peter, (who by an oversight of
the compositer is charged with concu-
p~isance,) and lastly to ourself. The ar
ticle was put in type by a rather inexpe-
rienced compositor, and in the hurry and
confusion which is usual on publication
day, we handed this article to a friend
TO examine, not doubling but he would
examine it as critically as we should
have done; in this we were mistaken.
We however freely exculpate our friend
from any murderous intent.-Ep.1

surer protection against drunkenness
than tipling or moderate drinking is a
knave. Those who honestly fear that
}. evil may grow out of the temperance re-
: form know nothing of IFS principles.
To conclude, the writer of this arti-
Gle happens to know that the pretended
admission of Mr.. HIS defeat is utterly
untrue; and he offers as a reward either
one years subscription to the Radical, or
a large new octave Bible, with notes
and marginal references to any man who
will publish any ideas, remarks, scrip
ture quotations, or any thing or erery
thing said at that debate, which in the
estimation Of competent judges, shall a.
mount to one solitary argument against
the temperance cause, (tetOtalism if you
please or tend in the remotest degree to
prore that the Westinghouse temperance
reform is injurious to the public welfare,
or not in accordance with the principles
and spirit of christianity; for be it known,
that dogmatical assertions unsupported
by euidence-scripture quotations that do
not apply TO the subject, witicisms and
doggrel poetry, cannot by any rule of
logic, be dignified with the name of ar
gumcnt.
Mr.. Adams will give up my name to
the man who shall claim the proposed
reward, by complying with the terms on
which it's offered; and | propose that
the Justices of the county Court, or any
three Clergymen of different denomina.
lions, who may chance TO meet in this
town, shall decide whether he is entitled
to tor in other words they shall de-
eide whether one good reason can be
CLEANED from the Ashley debate, which
would justify a moral or benevolent man
in offering the slightest opposition to the
Washingtonian society.
