A communication. which appeared in the
Gazette of Thursday. under the signature OF
| Murray, relating to debating societies. | think
was calculated to reflect. though it may have
been un~designedly. upon those young gen
tlemen of our community, who are engaged
in this praiseworthy and commemorate en-
t~crprisc. One would infer from the reading
of the communication, that the debating So
| ciety in question was q fit criterion to Judge
all the literary asSociati0nSi i'll our community
by. | was not aware of the existence OF the
society referred to. nor would | say anything
in defence of it. But, if left to Judge OF the
character of the society from the place and
time of the meetings. | would deem some
other name more appropriate than that OF "a
Debating Society," Moreover. would say,
for the information of the correspondent. that
| have the honor to belong To one OF the lite
rary societies of our city, and have yet to
hear from it, members. an immoral word, or
an expression unbecoming IA gentleman. dur
ing its meetings. Ia. vi.
