We had hoped that our last EVENING" articl
would satisfy the editor Of the g Observer.
that his conduct in this city, has furnished bin
little hope Of acquiring any notariety wort

but his utter wan, Of self respec,, united to ,
d0egsd determination to occupy an equivoca
position upon the subject Of his citizenship and
his wanton violation of a statute of this State,
renders il necessary on our part to trespass upon
the time Of the reader for few minutes in this
evenings issue. We have charged upon 4
man, who pr-sumes to assail daily in the most
unchartable terms, = denomination OF chris

citizens, that he 10 an Alien; and that he has
violated the law regulating the elective
franchise in this State, expecting that his self
respect would prompt him to offer some excuse
for his conduct; but in place of trying 10
excuse himself, for having lived in country
and received the protection of its laws tuenty

accepting citizenship, or Of regretling aoanton

Gays, he has no respect for those who put them,
he ought at least, to have sufficient respect for
himself & for the community whose confidence
he has betrayed, to make the amende honorable,
& % far az he is able to do, to reinstate himself
in their good opinion. But no, he affects to
despise this line Of conduct and assumes

thinks may remedy the evil. Weak minds and
p.ppet Professors are usually responsible for no
opinion respecting others, except it be founded
upon knowledge Of themselves, and 40 it has
been suggested that the brain of This individual
may occupy 4 more kxm6ie locality and one
more susceptible to the attacks Of the heat-
which he talks 90 much about,-,han that Of
the human species generally, it is not surpris-
