Georgia Gazette & v,a/jwac * 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_ tO BEHOLD AT PU It LICK S ‘tLE, at tht f'tnauc t*je tan neb. by •virtue ,/a on Tucfa, tht H'*’ **f •/November .
