Afr, Printer,
I CONGRATULATE an] indeed myfelf,
on the happy efforts of a piece lately jnfcrted in ycnif
paper. Though the “prejudices of education” are usu- i
’ ally ftrong* and it is very difficult to obviate “ latent j
eauftsf ytt I am not furprized that* with a perlon of Phi -1
lotoniy’s good fenfo, truth fiiould break through every cloud,
and I am truly happy in being the instrument of “almost con
vincing him of the impropriety of feme notions” winch hitherto i.e
has been riveted pr chained unto. Still indeed he fee ms to
betray fome little fondnefs for them; but tins I readily
forgive him, radical errors are not rooted out at once, and
his profeffed wdlingnefs to h ar more upon the fubjtrt gives
me the moft flattering hopes to fee him loon fully cured.
“ 7be narrative which he so impatiently waited for” has now ap
peared, and I doubt not wiil have its proper effort, and
convince‘him, that, notwichftanding fome i l-plactd incer,
it is a real truth that life is more dcflrable than death, and
J verily'bclieve, at fome time or other, even Philotomy him
felf had rather be “ a living dog than a dead lion” That a good
name also is a good thing admits of no con tridirt ion, but
how far shat may go to warrant unjuftiliablr actions I am
itill at | loss, and however poor I may be in being deprived
of rn/ u reputation* yet I humbly apprehend he that kills or
is killed in o a duel, or survives to fuffer for it, is rather worse
pff (till, and in point of character, as far as I can fee in either
case, a very inconsiderable gainer. I cannot blame Philoto
my “ for fixing his ease , fafely * and peace of mind, on the proper
andfirongbafis of timidity” in so doing he arts confident with
himfelf, a9 it is his prjfcffod opinion, “ that the a.pprehenftcn of
refentmertt keeps men within bounds , and caujes them to treat one
another with decency l hope he has not been under any ap
prehensions from nf, and yet I mult own he has not treated
me very roughly; his temper appears cafv, and though he
maintains a heretical dortrine, as I think, yet his arguments
do not appear very dangerous.
I assure Philotomy, whom I have not the pie afu re so know,
thatl should never be uneasy in his company ; 1 believe h none
of the smoothest writers in the province, but (till, whether
frou prejudice of education, or fome other cause, it is my
riveted opinion, that a good name is to be obtained and sup
ported only by good actions. lam not to he convinced by
leaden arguments, and cannot fee the lead tendency in a
bullet to afeertain the goodness or badness of a man’s cha
racter. The wor hos the good iran may be attacked by
the snarls of bacf ones, but every man is neither more nor
lei’s than what he.is in himfelf without any regard totheefti
. mate of others. No writer is entitled to publick thanks that
writes in dirert opposition to the laws of God and the land
he fives in, and 1 am really furprized that Philotomy chose
to write before “ he had been taught to revere the firfl grand law
of nature.'*
If, in compliance with the opinion of tie “ wrld as it goes”
Philotomy (hould think an answer as alfolutcly • necessary as he
think* courage is and ref. ntmenr, l invite him to propofc
his arguments, and unlcfs they are far better than any 1 ever
yet saw, or ever expert to fee, I have courage enough to
promise him to pull them up by the very root. I think at
all events I can have nothing to fear from one “that hopes to
be reconciled to the bully as well as to the man of placid deport
ment ” This will be a very ilringe kind of reconciliation;
for my own part, though 1 write for a placid deportment,
vet I don’t know how’to reconcile my good opinion to a
bully. ‘ _LL_
