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. 1 am with profound refpeft, the public V hum. blefervant, &c, JOSEPH OWENS, Columbia County, O Bober 25. P. S. I (bould have forwarded this fern er, hut was prevented by .in ir.difpoi . which I have beenfubjed to, forfeveralcUyi,, *Ji is but jujiict for me to announce, to my fellow citizens, that there avert fevtral chara&trs at the drama (at I have been recently informed) who were merely /pee* talon. Having a previous invitation to attend, and contemplating the event of fame* 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 ting in that pernicious artifice , Like men who have the interest of their country at heart ,* they rejeßtd the ftheme and would not meddle with it. 7 hefe are citizen! whfie probity is attefied, and who 'trill ever d'fdain to trample upon the faertd name of liberty ; and never fuffer themfclves to be Polluted by the frenzy of intriguing p affiant, ■ I truji this will be deemed a /efficient afOm logy from me, to those gentlemen ; for it never was my intention to criminate thesjt nndefervedly, knovj'tngly and willingly . 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
