c.a, General Boyer releases himself from
those who have taken his paper without oy.
cr intending II pay for il, in the following
novel and bold declaration:
L When in the course of rascally events It
becomes necessary for a hungry and half
starved editor TO dis I've the friendly Lands
which have connected him with a band of
vI'Ialnous O patrons, and assume among
mankind that separate station 10 which his
pow rly and independent spirit entities him
"a dec ut respect fjr the opinion Of his
honest supporters requires that he should
p.oclaim the causes which have impcllCd
Inn TO the separation.
We hold tn. Sc truths to be scf.cyident-
that editors were created like other men,
that thy were endowed with certain proptn-
sites, that amongst th,m is a disposition to
cat, 'r nk, and keep comfortably clad-to
secure these blessings, laws were instituted
among men, securing 10 the creditor bis
honest and just dues; but when villain
Gus three bundled dollars exemption act be-
com,s distinctive 10 these ends, il is our
Iiaht to institute a new SYST N, laying its
foundation in such principles as 20 US shall
seem most likely 10 protect US in future
from all fraud and imposition. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that lrieAlship long es-
tablIshyd should not be severed for light and
transient causes and accordingly all cXpc-
rlenca has shown that editors arc more dis
posed to suffer while evils are sufferable,
than TO tight themselves by abolIshing the
forms TO which they are accustomed. But
when long standing abuses, and total dis
regard for every generous feeling, having IN
view the same object, evinccs design to
reduce 10 absolute starvation, him who has
labored for years to supply them with their
mcntal aliment, it is his right, ii is his duty,
TO repudiaIe friendships, and provide new
guards for his future security. The history
Of these outlaws IS history Of repeated in
jurieS and insults, having in direct Object the
lccuniary destruction of their best friend
and bcnelactor. To prove this, let facts lie
submitted TO a candid mind.
They have refused time and again 10 pay
us the first continental dingbat,' , although
repeatedly called upon to do so.
They have refused to supply US with wood,
corn, oats, potatoes, beans, peas, pork, and
poultry, although our appeals were long,
loud, aud pathetic fXins inestimable to US
anu loIlllludUlt 10 IdSCdlS OulNs
They have refused to supply us with any
aid Whatsoever, whereby 10 facilitate cur
business operations thus rendering Us in
measure incapable Of pursuing with light
heart and luoyant spirits our legitimate bus-
mess the office in the meantime, exposed
to all Gangr Of an invasion from without
and convulsions within.
They have endeavored to prevent the
population Of these States by dcPriyng us
Of the means to feed and clothe the young
Eoycrs according to Our desire.
They have combined With others, 10 sub
jcct Us to the worst grievances, foreign to
our good nature, and uuacAuowirdged by
our laws.

They have plundercd our pockets, cheat-
ed our creditors, " burnt our fugers,' and
done sndry ether cruel and barbarous acts,
unworthy Of the character Of gentlemen.
