TO THE PUBLIC.
ItcruM TeaUndum est »ihi.
Fallow Citizens,
I with disdain infpeAed the contents
of h vilifying piece divulged in the Chroni
do of the 4th inttant, by the request of a
certain Mr. M. intentionally to mil. N
itatc against the remarks of Cato, relative
to that grand dramatic reprefentstion, which
transpired in the county of Columbia, a few
weeks antecedent to the general elcAion.—*
This Mr. M * is confcffedly a rare lad,
and a person of extraordinary endowments.
There are fomc who fay that he pretends to
he a wonderful proficient in the whole cir
cle of Schobftic education : as to that I can.
not determine, but his abilities as a teacher,
and an cxpofitor of the Latin language, was
fufliciently at celled, while he was employed
as a Preceptor in the Kiokee Seminary.—
He was found to be so exceedingly deficient,
in the comprehension of that language, that
from {prudential motivesit was tho’t expedient
to dispense with him by some means or other ;
accordingly his patrons deserted him one by
one, ’till furfooth, he was compelled to
covert himfclf under the of another
vidhity.
Having disclosed to you, my fellow citi
zens, ilic outlines of this original ; I (hall
now proceed to answer those malicious, and
invalid fpcculations, which >1 conceive he
engendered mcafurably from an impertinent
fropenfity, to display his fantattic abilities,
n tracing him through his witless and de
sultory hyperboles, we easily difeover that
his primitive intention was to palm himfclf
upon his fellow county men, as an individu
al, whofc heart is replete with found prin
cipleH, and unbiafled tenets. This pragma
tic writer, who is but a Tyro in politics,
and frantic with ail those fanatic ideas that
(could polfibly bigot him to the machinating
party, has by attempting tojuftify them in
their political deviations, and by attaching
himfclf to them in ilicir notorious intrigues,
precipitately, and unwarily indicated to an
enlightened community, a criterion that will
evidently regulate them in their judgment,
relative to his avowed, though deiigning
" principles. He has in an audacious, and
prefamptoous manner, promulged his abor
tive and malignant observations; after being
(according to :he opinion of myfelf, and ma
ny others, who deleft his barefaced dilfimu
lation) one of the principal stage aftors, that
performed in that celebrated and ever memo
rable drama. When his scenic brethren,
were dubbing and invetting him with his
new and farcial capacity ; his mind was so
elevated at the idea of hi* promotion, that
he thought he might probably uflier himfelf
upon the stage of duplicity, without ever
being criminated for the deceptions transac
tion. Infatuated man I how hns he plunged
headlong into the roaring vortex ofindiferc
tion, and lixed (I feat) an biddable stigma
upon his political character.
Oblsrvf, I beseech you, my fellow citi
zens, the 1 pithcU'Of bis low scurrility and
squalid P.iamgtgate ; with how much auda.
city be attails my charadereftical reputation,
merely bccaufe I ingenuously advertised the
public, of those feduAive and delherious
ttratageras, that were devised to promote
and efreAuate the eieAion of Justice fiinion :
and has even emitted his criminatory gibber.
i(h, at a gentleman, whom he calls ** provost
Peter,” and whom he conjcAures to be the
foie author of Cato. (I comprehend his er
roneous allusion) but for his better informa
tion, Ido with sterling integrity, declare
the gentleman to be wholly innocent of the
accufatiorf: for my ottenlible signature to
this publication, wUI evince to this original,
whu that mystic author is.
Admitting this gentleman to have been
th: author ; has he the vanity and arro
gance to surmise, that he could polfibly
blight his reputation, or injure his feelings,
through the medium of his abusive epithets,
and aspic intimations ? No ; he has ever
demeaned himfclf as a citizen, true to the
interett of his country, and (lands confeft to
the circle of his acquaintances, as a person
of too much reAitude, ever t# fuller by his
defamatory pen. With an unusual, though
aukward display of ottentatious erudition,
be had the littleness of mind to criticize up.
on the piece I bad promulgated in the Her
ald of the 25th ultimo, and pretends to dis.
cover a number of deficiencies; such chime,
rical criticism mutt have emanated from no.
thing but a mind uncultivated, and fraught
with'vulgarity—l disregard them.
But his elfaying to vindicate profeffor
Simms for holding private elections, fwclJs
my heart with indignation, and induces me
to difpife bis low and artificial difpofitioo..
We disagree because our political sentiments
are not in unison. He applauds party work,
and calls it the collefled wifdora of the
county, I reprobate it, and will ever ftre
nuooflj exert mvfclf to explode its pernici
ous influence. 1 will encourage no design
ing faction in the bofotn al my county, but
will always fctcen myfelf from its torrefying
Tij3 f and never disparage the facrcd memo.
ty of those heroic men, who devoted their I
lives to the devouring jaws of death, to
Ifecure to millions, (yet unborn) the invalua*
ble blcffings of civil and religious freedom.
I fuppoie if profit (Tor Simms and Justice
fiinion, were to revolutionize the county, it
would be consonant to his views, as he has
abandoned the interest of his country to es.
poufc the cause of party work. Wo be to
them that intrigue ; lor they are the people
who infringe the laws of their land, and
mar the foetal harmony of government. Oh,
Mr. M fallacious man! dost thoe
delight to raise inteftinc feuds, and sow di.
visions among thy fellow n ortals ? if this
is thy aim, thou art indeed a dangerous
man ; go, if theu canst not brook the salu
tary laws of thy natal foil j go, transplant
thyfelf to those foreign climes that resound
with the din of war and clalh of arms, where
impious despots bear the sway, and joy in
carnage and rapine.
Observe, my fellow citizens, with hour
much derision he mentions tfie name of Cato t
I with be did but pofl'efs pattiotifm, like
that ancient and venerable hero { 1 venerate
his name, and conceive that his illustrious
actions are worthy of imitation) unlike
this fafeinated comedian, he did not join
wick the inliduoua Casfar as a patty man, to
immerfc his innocent countrymen into those
defolaring torrents of lava, which inrcfiantly
difeharge themfclves from the fervid crater
of party work. As 1 was under the impref*
(ion of revering this t memorable hero, 1
confefs that I was irresistibly allured, to as
similate his name, and tender to my fellow
citizens a difeovery of the dcfignir.g prin
ciples of his dcfpicable junto.* Fellow
citixens, it is then for you to examine care,
fully, and judge judiciously upon this inter
filing occasion : and 1 again fay that in.
triguing men should never monepolife our
intention : depend upon if, they will never
guarantee our rights and liberties.
I beg leave to fugged, that I Ihsll not
take notice of any publication Mr. M.i
may choose to have imprefled poftcriorto this
period: but hope (hat these cursory obfervati.
ons conjoined with those pubjifhedinaformer
Chronicle, under the signature of ” Pdbr
Richard,” will conduce to convince him
of the deftruflive tendency of party work »
and if possible produce a revolution for the
better in his political tenets. If he falls
under so happy a reformation, he will then
be enabled to make a retribution to the
community he has so grossly infulred with
his sarcastic diftion. They, as citizens
actuated Isy virtuous principles, Hand aloof
from his political sentiments; they have
Jong since learned to appreciate the internal
peace and welfare of their country ; and
under imprefaons so noble, will ever remain
united and indivisible, and never fuller
themfclves to be trammeled Isy the designing
artifices of those who delight to foment di.
visions, and eo-operatc in party work.

thing unusual, they accordingly repaired
thither at the appointed time ; but figure to
your imaginations, what their ideas muji
have been, when they perceived that instead
of being called together for noble motives ,
they were convened for the purpose of official

who have the interest of their country at

not meddle with it. 7 hefe are citizen!

On the Banks of the Riofcrande, in Afri
ca, a fait is produced which is proved to be
an inftantaneoo* and infallible antidote a
gainst poison. The manner in which it
was difeovered is curious. It appears t«
have been owing to an elephant which,
though wounded by a poisoned arrow, a
weapon with which the negroes detroy those
animals for the fake of tbe r r teeth, contin
ued, to the aftonilhment of the hunters, to
walk and graze, without (hewing any sign
of pain. One of tlie negroes recollected
that the elephant bid gone, on being ftru?k
by the arrow, to the bank of a stream, and
had conveyed some sand to its month, by
means of its trunk; but, on looking at
what they conceived to be sand, they
it was a whhflh fait, having a flight taste
of allam. To dTcft a radical cure of any
poison that may have been abforded, it if
only necdTary to drink a drachm of this fedt
didblved in water.-- London taper
