SOMETIME pad, there appeared in the Cjlunhian Centinef, teveral numbers, under the fig-, a tare oFa Narrator, alternately, to the great trouble of the Editor, and his readers. I really did wonder, that the Edi tor continued such rh tpfodies, or legendary t vlea (or as the writer might deem them, moral) so long They were falfome tome and the public, mn!l have been pelleted with them too much. I o.vr .• whenever 1 receiv. ed a piper containing one of his numbers, I immediately call it a-,way, as useless paper, . blotted. After, this felf-important Narrator, cams forward in the Herald an eTavift on Jrcfs: to (how hi a folly also but, how vain for an individual, cfpeci.illy one that appeared, f,on hi* productions, so little acquainted with the higher walks of life, to pretend to oiya laws, or govern the rage of fafhion ; or even to change what is called taste in jifefi ; Hi might as fooa attempt toafeend the rapid water falls of the Niagara—and probably with more fucccfs. Fa.hions are ibmeth'ng arbitrary, and are caught from a hi ,her soarer, than merely from thi/wlni/j multitude. Every body, in a land of liber, fv. ought to dress as he thinlis proper andiro ms opinion, it is better to follow th« prevailing model, th-m oppufe ..ae.n. 1 :ay, tell me how a fellow wouk *ook, at this day, with the want of his coat, rcicPing down to his hams, and the ficirts thereof, not more than four inches long ? I a.a furs he would make a very ridiculous appear ancf, and would-be laughed at by every body who (aw him. Ia n very much ptea fed with the drclfes of the ladies—l think they become them—they are light, and (how their form to advantage fend certainly, ate more comportablc, being light for tue fammer, than any heavy clothes. I have got my hand in, now, and can nut fr*p. The Southern Planter, and J. R. ar. red my attention, and appear to me, syno nymous; whether they ate really so, I can not pofiihly fay ; but, to ms they appear congenial in lentuncnt and language too.— OL Cungrefs Orator, and Southern Planter, appear to be the fame. Ido not taw up ray pen t» follow any of them, through ad jheir vagaries ; tut to give my opinion, without extracts, or comments. An era, like the prefenr, where dangers press on every fide, one falfe step might plunge us into a gulph of misery; it is there fore, the duty of our chief msgidratc, to cultivate peace with all and it it is po,Ttble, to efcapetlw dire eiFcfts of war, on honorable terms, to prevent it, by all means in his power—aided by oar bed Citi zens, who will rejoice at inch an event.— Mr. Jefferlon, i believe, in this trying ferns L has dlfplayed great talents, and moderation ; and I trail - , will harmonife dtfeord, reftorc order, and caufc peace to return. There is nothing difeovers a more depra ved mind, than envy- and when united with enthufufm, deilroys the happmels ot the possessor, and drives him to commit enormous crimes. Men who fancy tcy have abilities, without virtue, or any wquu site to make them great, become dangerous to government, vainly Lmsginmg t e V have not been rewarded according to their rgerit. The people are the bed judges. perhaps Mr. J. R. may hive ca fl. boatful eyes up to the Prefiieutial chair— but, I trn.l the green eyed muter, will ne -ver preside there. Me*of his principles arc always obnoxieus to governments in genera!, and cannot prove thcmfelvcs good Citizens. They would go any lengths to anfwcr their sanguinary pnrpcfes ; and would deluge the world in blood, or plunge a poni ard in the bolbm of their bad friends, to anfwcr their diabolical fchetacs, and promote their own aggrandisement;—Among these I rank, if not the fame, J. R. and the lioathsrn Planter. Too well do I know the seditious principles they cherifc; nor am 1 a Itranger to the inflammable nonfenfc that has flowed from the tongue of one, or frantic madness, from the pen of the other: I view them both with horror, and I despise them ; they are only fit for insurgents—and I believe, if they had the power, would involve the United States in a cruel and bloody civil war; yea, delight in feeing brothers (hed brothers blood. It is my lincere wifn, that neither J. R. or his friend, the Southern Planter, should they be candi dates, obtain any place of honor or profit in the United States. If they are difpleafcd with the government that supports them, let them clear out, and follow the heels of their good kinsman, John Randolph, who after doing much injury in, and about Wil liamfourgb, Virginia, faeaked off with the much admired Dunmore, to the Bahamas; whei;, if they Ihould go, it is my prayer, they may never return again. ’ A PLAIN SPEAKER. ergflTg ggggar.'T * ■■'rrrrrr~;-r-- m \ AUGUSTA, 12.
