Sir,
A true friend of Or dr having
triumphantly anfwered »o our
gig<n(ic letter inferred in the
Augufla Vlrrald, I can make
but very little addition to Ins
judicious observations.
I (ball rot take trains in por
trailing /owe prominent features of
your charaEler . Such inane lifdefs
piBnrecould not afford the leafl
fatisfaftion to the public, as a
corrupted hear*, a guilty covfctence,
i 'our tabor in expofvg ]our own
depravity, the turpitude of your
conduft, your intoxicating draught,
the poignancy of your feelings , and
finally, the defry ft ion of your rea
fon, are Such ridiculous and ab*
( urd common places as can never
fill :he loom of Jolemv truth that
ought to he your guide and mine,
I ibaM not take pairs to demon
ft ra e rhe falfehood of your afler
tior.s. wbirh only prove you*'
Itvgfhx piece, lo be a piece of
calumny. I compare it to a
rrole hill that was ronfbufted
with great labor and exertirn,
but is as foon fratteicd about by
the carelefs native who cafts an
eve of contempt upon i', and
con fines it again into its dijmai man
fen of oblivion.
! fhall only anfwcr to the ex
pofuion you made of a fa£f re
lating to his Fxcellency, whole
political life never deviates from
the path of rc&itude. and whole
fleody fame can forever repel
your vain attacks

as being the peimantnt place of

2d I can fairly ftate, that
when the rerfus we e taken by
rapt. Boftick, the «.rlwei of his

was. that I hatbam fbculd be
confidcud as his previous and

This fir, fully evinces that the

iryman* " j» §
From the A ezv- York Gazette,
F* w events h-ve exerted great
er condernation rmong the mer
cantile part of our citizens than
the late elopement of Nathaniel
Olcotf. This young man. hy
habits of alhduity and JineJft,
had addrefs enough to procure
a credit of between two and thiee
hundred theu/and dollars , with
which be has finally abfeonded.
When we trace his conduft in
its various confequcnces and
probable refults, wc can with
difficulty believe that fuch infa
my could exift in the bread of a
human being. Had he preyed
only on the property of thole
who cculd not have been mate
rially affefted by U, the public
fyrnpaihy would have been lefs
exqurfite and extenfive. But he
has done mor —hf has betrayed
the confidence of his warmed
friends and reduced to milcry
thole previcufly diftreffed, The
evert, however, whir h excites
the greated horror, and fills the
meafuie of his crimes, is the
untimely end of the amiable and
unfortunate Mr. R { Altho’
it-is impofliblc to lupprcls our
indignation fer Clcoit ard his
deeds, it is with extreme reluft
anrr we do it, when we refleft
on the wounded feelings of the
truly lefpcdiable family with
which he is conneQed. Nothing
but a fenfe of judicc could in
duce the mcafurc.
/• reward of scoo dollars is
offered for the (windier by the
bank of and wc have
reafen to expedl that he will be
apprehended and freu'ed, as
many have gone in puifuit of
him—feme for the fake of the
reward, but more from nobler
views; thofe of having their fa
milies from threatened ruin.
It is now time that a fatal Mow
fbould be given to the fpint of
fraudulent fpeculation, which
has, in many indarces, been
crowned w’lth fuch fuccefs a*
mongd us, that Europeans have
imagined we have reduced it fo
a fcience. In order to accomplifh
this defirable «rd our laws rela
tive to bankruptcy and (wind
ling fbould undergo further revi
fion and corretTon ; that we
may the better didinguifb the
unhappy debtor from the defin
ing /peculator. And thofe who
refit on the duties to fociety,
and w ho are zealous for rational
rclpeQrtbility, fbould rather fa
rrificc their lives, than place in
the legiflativc councils, charaft
ers of bladed reputation, how
ever eminent their talents may
be for political intrigue.
Olcolt, the fwindlcr, has been
caught near Cat ! de, in Fenn
lylvania, with 8000dollarsfouod
upon him.
