LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY, ' ’Julj I, lBco. ■ - . Hobby's infamy only ran ex ceed the folly and vanity of his two young men, Randolph Sc jounce, in arrogating to them fclves a degree of importance that was never intended to he conferred on them by us—by pretending that we fuppofed them to be the authors of a pub lication in the Augufta Herald of the nth ult. than which no thing could be more diftant from our opinion. The fubordinate f menia) part which they perform in that prefs, as well as a know ledge of their total incapacity, exempted them from cur no tice. Me/frs . Day Sc Ilely, NOTHING can afford a jftrorger pioof of the abjeft de pravity of the minds of a few of our citizens, than the fecret avidiry with which a little inftg- Tiificant junto have fcafled and regaled themfelvcs for a few days pad, upon a fcandalous produc tion of that noted little mifireant Hobby—who, together with his proftituted writings, have long lince met thejullly merited con tempt of every virtuous honefl citizen, and well wifher to his country* But while I (incerely regret that we dill haVe any fuch charafters among us, I feel highly gratified in finding that they rompofe a very contempti ble minority-being chiefly Por cupine's former fupporters Creatures infatuated to that de gree, that no hope can be enter tained of their amendment, even at this glorious time of political reformation-—When every day affords us the exulting plcafnrc of feeing and hearing in the pub. lie places new republican profo lytes, uttering forth theirrccan tations from toryifm. lIONESTUS. Me/frs> Day Sc HelV, THEperfon whom Randolph Sc Bunco fliles their writer of advertifements, has trnde a lengthy anpe iranre in the He rald of Wednesday laft, wherein he, with his ufual effrontery reiterated his filly charge againfl you, of abufing the government of our own choice* One would have thought his love for origi nality would have taught him to rejeft fuch common place duff fud ufed by R, Q. Harper, in defence of the fedition law ; then by the author of the Obferver, and now borrowed by the Editor of the Herald. Inflated with the idea of bis own importance he (no doubt) fhinks (and wifbes it to gain belief) that he is at this time ar duoufly engaged in a newfpaper war, with the Chief Executive Magiftrate of this (late, which to judge from the ftyle, language aod known vigilance of that faithful officer, we mud at once decide that fo far from his en tering the lifts with fuch an in figniticant antagunifl, he would hardly cuft away fo much of his ufeful time as would be fufficicnt to read the ebullitions of tha infamous and impotent detrac tor. However, in cafe the puny reptile can earn a little by the fingle vice of lying in public ncwfpapers, I can only blame him for not making choice of feme more hone ft method ot gaining a livelihood—as I am hire his charaftcr, and that of the gentleman he wifhes to tra duce, Hand on fuch a different bafts, that his writings will never raife his own, nor leffen the other in the opinion of any ra tional being. He may hobble on, and be allured, that although be never had the honor of being noticed, nor ever will be thought a fufli cicnt obje& for Executive afri madverfion; yet he will find fome lefs ufeful pen diffidently pointed to make him crawl and wieathe like a wounded fnake. D. Meffrs. Day Sc Hely, Gentlemen, I READ with indignation, the fcurrilous publications that have emanated of late from the Augufta Herald ; the Editor of which, (I am informed, is the notorious William J. Hobby;) who can have no other obje6l in view, than that of detaching the confidence of the good people of this ftate from their Execu tive,, It is not my intention to pafs encomiums upon Governor jackfon; his manly exertions during the revolutionary war, and his well direded policy fince in the cabinet, are lading mo numents of his worth, which will live, when a thoufand bafe detiadors, or difappointed (pe culators, arc humbled in the duft. The proprietors of the Herald, Randolph Sc Bunce, are young men I have an efteem for, and thought them entitled to public patronage. It Was motives of this kind, that indu ced me and many others, to Hep forward to fupport them in con ducing a prefs formed upon li beral and republican principles; but unfortunately for them, the very rock on which the Southern Ccminel fplit, threatens to them a Cmilar deftruCion, The only remedy, in my conception, that prefents itfelf for fafety, is to discharge from their fervice, this affaffin of reputation j this reviler of liberty in all its forms; and this enemy to his native country, under the cloak of fedcralifm. His breath is fufficient to pollute a free prefs ; and the contraCed nefs and nanownefs of bis foul ought to render him contempti ble in focicty. To take a re trofpcCive view of this charaCer as here pointed out, I beg leave to call the attention of the pub lic to him, while he aCed as Editor to the Ccntinel, in the abfencc of Mr. M‘Millan. He began his career, by pouring forth torrents of abufe upon our then Executive Magiftrate, Ge neral livin ; and nothing but the coolnefs and moderation of this gentleman prevented his family from taking exemplary fatisfac tion. We now find him, not content with having brought into difgrace a paper, that pro mifed to be not only a ufeful vehicle of intelligence ro focicty, but a fource of wraith (o the parties concerned. 7 his refllcfs ambitious mortal, we would na turally fuppofe,afterhaving done irreparable injury, and what is worfe, betrayed the facred truft repofed in him, ought to have fought an afylum, 'where he might fpend the remnant of his life, in wretched remorfe; but inflead of this, we fee him {ally ing forth once more, with newly lecreted poifon, for the exprefs purpolc of wounding the vitals of government, and bringing the officers thereof into difgracc like r> himfelf. Cur bcfl chara&ers does not efcape his cenfurc ; the venerable Franklin, and the vir tuous and learned lefferfon, have been abufed publicly by him in one of his orations; and what is yet more diflre fling, when he ought to have been kicked out of the pulpit, he received plaudits! But from whom were thofe plaudits received ? A tory yazoo faftion, made up of Bri lijh and anglo American ariflcfcrats, to which he is a hireling writer, for the purpofe of fupporting their nefarious mcafureS. It pleafed our late convention to annex certain titles to the office of Governor, which ought to he he'd facred by all good and well difpofed citizens ; yet wc find this man Hobby daring enough to ridicule them by the vileft com panions, and has even fuggefted that the Governor forms a tiio in a certain Gazette. Fellow citizens, I congratulate you mod healthy, that an epoch favorable to liberty will fhortly prefetit itfelf, when Inch tories as thefe will be compelled to fkulk in the dark. Should this man even now fhew himfelf on the other fide of little River, the confequences might be feii ous. He has the audacity to attack every Executive decree, and I firmly believe, if they were from Heaven cloathed in white attire he wculd arraign them, provided they did not favour flrongly of yazoo. I (hall now take leave of this little fellow for the prefent, but in a future publication, I will fhew to the world, that in the frrft in* fiance he was violently oppofed to the ufurped a&, and adly, that he expreffed r defiro that the annulling adt might pafs. This then clearly proves till he was bribed, he thought with nine tenths of the Georgians, An Up Countryman.
