''T;nes dsPlOrab!e, when viIlainy is prOtOc-
ted"
''James, the smaIl-beer lawyer. Is recovering
from the late severe attack Of paralysis eaughtat
the Rome democratic M scting. and gives full
Indication Of his eonyalcsccnce by pressing ar
ticlo in,the sheet Of scurTility misnamed Shield
and Banner His being ill-affecttd to me, arose
frura the fact that did not unite with the Mans
field minority faction, in placing him in the I'M
port office Of prosecutor. Those who were not
deceived by the gull-catcher, proved their prs.
denee worthy Of imitation; and notwithstanding
fortune has thought james worthy Of her favor,
and given him lift out ofthe mircs,yet he does
not fail to give frequent indications Of his true
composition, by thousand little diTsS. actions,
establishing the truth that, Asses and Owls may
be eser so careful in hiding themselves, yet if
the one attempts to bray, or the other 10 hoot,
they viii soon be discovered
/ am no prophet, but will venture TO predict
that. if CravoR-rook, his master, continues him
much longer as agent for his paper, he will jack
| daw him out of every morsel OF his bread and
butter two birds, by the by, that are not of
! the moral kind. but will serve, when they are
/ dead. to be stuffed with straw, to show which
way the wind blows.
/ Blame me not for exercising the right Of
choice among a number Of Democratic candi-
dates. when by comparing faces, one meets with
some so baby-likc, and SO nearly approaching a
doll, that, ii searched, there would be great
deficiency of brains, or, rather, VIC might bc
thought 10 pity poor James as much as the fox
did the NisOrMaS'<.
Now. dear James, farewell; and be not dis
couragcd but try your hand again, and assure
You, from the specimen of your pleading al
Rome in order to have (you know full dearly,
the withdrawal Of that dreadful resolution, that
has made us all so sorry-but then we are only
a '.Trio." We appeal to James," as lawyer
of the seven by nine dimension, to aid lis in oul
sad calamity, for opposing the junto-Tro'
Brief James can tell us the difference hctwceI
brief and bull-Spocial punishment, for Sucl
as being arraigned of felony refuse to put them
, selves upon the common trial Of God and thei
] country, but remain mute: such q trio should b
sent to prison from whence they come, and b
| laid in some low, dark cell, where they shall la
upuu their backs without any litter or othe
clothing and be continually pestcrcd by sue
Iiackalents as James, apciug the pettitoggcr.~
And thew shall lie on their backs. with their head
covered, and their feet and one arm shall
drawn to one quarter Of the cell with str0n
cord, and the other arm to another quartz
and iron or stone shall be laid on their bodie
: so much as they can bear; and the next da
h following they shall have three morsels of ba
. ley bread, without any other drink than Il
y puddle water next unto the prison door. TIL
e is vulgarly called pressing to death-gocd cnoug
" for such ncorrigibe fellows, for daring to c'
e terrain one doubling opinion as to the sayiA!

Is "Jamcs'" l thank you for such deep critics
e on the powers Of mind, and would advise 20
y before YOU resume The subject, Just to ascerta
