is given in this here artikcl. There is the
fools who run for offs and don't git it. Tha

you will please take notice that for reasons
aforesaid this compliment is not ihtehed fer
yon. j do not wish to be invidious but to
my nOtcn the RcpubAcan is much the best.
Your paper Tor litcratoor has been famous

that thare Kaleidoscope of theirs. That
paper shall maintain your honor or there is
no virtue in this here quill AS for the

public that commentator would be insult.
The Gazette like the noble town in which it
is located, is thar! But give me the Rpub-
lcan. 1t suits my stilc.
