have no respect from any to crave no kind consid-

rum of the social scale in all places | would sug-
gest the propriety of duly exercising the reasoning
faculties on the subject, before making the resolve
to withhold respectful treatment from any men, sim.
ply because they are trangressing the weak law Of
local prejudices, without taking into account any
intelligence or urbanity they may or may not pos

have any effect upon the purposes of these men, nor

those who have usual sense of patriotism and duty

everlasting pclsstcncy in foolish prciudccs per-

which involves no principle of right to which to

The exercise of such contempt as that in question
