A 11 I* the fame gentleman, lam
lore it requires but little judgment
to fay that neither he, him left, or
h.s inrereft is very like that of che
people's. The author of No. I.
would perhaps do well in his next
number, if ae chines to proceed, to
recommend the per fen that he
would w.fti io cram down the
throats of the free and republican
white men in the county of Clark ;
and that if he intends hone ft friend
inip to the fret men of the county
of Clark, he fhould dictate to them
openly and rairlv, not to xjifguile
himfeli oncer a fictitious name, as
be has in his vague and filly com
jpofitipn in No. I.
I lament that occurrences, re
aching from the iniireprefencarjons
in No. 1, compelled this juft and
veil dtlcrved reply, with a hope,
that the freemen of the county of
