lieve 1.-THE eternal fitness of things" too much
to call h;m Traitor. scibe called me an Abo-
lisionist, &C., &c. replied that was true to the
same extent that Douglas Was an Abolitonis'
and scribe himself Traitor. Now deny being
an Abolitionist, or that Douglas Was one: and
claim that scribe 10 Traitor to the same exten,
that 10 mo traitor at all"
Scribe calls me dog, and says something
about a fable" will give him one that covers
bis CAGE exactly provided he will indulge the
harmless vanity Of considering himself sox.-
Here it Isl:
A shepherds dog-unskilled in sports,
Picked up acquaintance of all sorts.
| Among the rest . fo1 be knew
BY frequent chat their friendship grew.
Said Reynard "'tis Q cruel case
"That man should stigmatize our race!
| "No doubt among rs rogues you find
As among dogs and human kind;
| And yet, unknown to me and you,
There may be honest men-and true.
"Thus SANDER tries wbate'er it cen
ITO set Us on foot with maa--
Let my own actions recommend!
| "(No prejudice should blind a friend y
| "You know me-free from all disguise
"Ay honor as my life prixei"
| By talk like this, from all mistrust,
The dog was cured /; and thought him just.
| But while SO loud the fox held forth
ION conscience, honesty and worth,
Sudden he stopp'd he cooked his ear
Low dropp'd bis brushy tail with fear.
Bless us! The hunters are abroad
What's all that chatter on the road!
Hold said the dog, "we're cafe from harm
IT'S nothing but false alarm!
AT yonder town tits market day
Some farmer'f wife 10 on the way
"'Tis SOL know her pie bald mare
| Dame Dobbins with her poultry ware r.
Reynard grew hu6, said be !" this sneer
From you little thought to hear.
:" Your meaning In your looks / seef
"Pray what's Dame Dobbins-friend to me
:" Did Ie'v make her POULTRY Minners
:" Proee that o,ce tie Dame Dinner !"
Friend" quOth the cur, II meant no harm
'.Then why so captious - Why so warm?
Ny words in common dcceptdtion
:" Gould neyer give such provoeation
"No lamb ior aught eyer k,tsw
"Could be more innocent than you.
At this vile Reynard scinced and smors -
:" Such language neer ,cas gi,ea before!
"WHAT's LAMB to NE ?-The saucy pint!
as how me base knave ,rhich ray you soUINr.
"If 'tother night your master lost
"THREE LAMBS, am to pay the COST
" Your pils reflections ,conld imply
That I'm tie dsi.fi Yon dog?-Yos lie!
The application of the Fable leave for th
scribe and numerous old friends" to make
Ihave no hand in it.
But the scribe condescends to sseeten his bit
ter article with very graw threat, to which
beg leave to rsply in language borrowed for tn
occasion, no words of mine being equal to th
task.
T" Thou vain, rash thing Almost beneath M
pit art thou fallen
{: Since while the avenging hand of Heaven
on thee;
I" And presses to the dust thy swelling soul
i" Fool hardy sciM the stronger thy contendesti
"To what vast heights had thy tumultuous TEN
per been driven
f" Had success hut crosnaed thy mishes?
"Say! what had to expect If thou had'st cor
| quered?'
With regard to the literary FINISH, the stylt
the taste and the spirit of the Pain Dealers las
Article, say now as said when read it
"Oh Mammoth cave what apet
In summer cold-in winter hot!
"Immortal Scissors what q wonder!
"General jackson Blood and-thnnderm
REMAIN as BEFORE,
ga LIFE LONG DENocRAr."
