I am charged with displaying a heartless disregard lbr his-feelings. Iso one hut ray pa tient wife and fourteen little child ren know how I have wept over his short-comings. Union says of my first artitle : “In bis first sentence there is a ‘phenome non’ of tautology; in his second tlicr- is a phenomenon of redundancy; ami, in his third here is a ‘phenomenon’ of the improper uso of the tenses.” Tautology signifies “A sameness of expression which adds nothing either to the sense or the sound.” Or as Southey says, “That is truly' and really tautology, where the same thing is repeated, though under never so much variety of ex pression. ” In my first sentence there is but one repetition—that of the word, ‘‘Who,” which neither detracts from the sense nor the sound, but is necessary for its grammatical integrity. My second contains three distinct enunciations, and no tautological “sameness of expres sion.” Union, the model gramma rian, to whom /Smith is but an ig noramus, must remember that all repetition is not tautology. There are many honorable exceptions, os he will find out by carefully con suiting the rhetoricians. Some of the grandest climaxes in our lan guage, have beeu attained by suc cessive repetition of the same words and forms ot construction. In re gard to redundancy, I claim there is none. His final charge is, that I atn guilty of the improper use of the tenses. The passage, complained of by Union, is composed of two distinct parts, the first reading “can find,” the sect nd “where is.” In the first I wish to know where I can find a nominative case; in the second, I ask where is a rhetorical rule. No improper use ol the tenses occur in the passage, when tried by my grammarians, and I oiiyjFlN MAIUCfT COUMY, GA., IfiAlflC, Jm£! . —i —————■*—-■--•*■ ——— IffbMbrccd t<) the conclusion fat aw, hwncTOTiticaUuitagoiiiat. is mis ajKn. jjpfi,, tScusctny hasty con* rfnjj may he the 'dnif %p!Tect work kind ex ihmtf * *,* \ I.

This chikli^h/>ld "imtlwuun lev comes lachrymose over my mild reproof, and sheds poetry, tears and biographical incidents, with reck less disregard of future reward or punishment. Most philanthropic of critics! Ido not deem my seif cruel, acri monious or splenetic. Did I not as a kind father call Incognito's attention to his loose style, that he might correct it ? Did I not ad vise him to avoid publicity until his literary culture improved ; Have not I shown remarkable in terest in his welfare? Have not I ex’ orted him to pray like Solomon for knowledge/—to see himself as others see him I* Yet, am 1 lect ured by Buena Vista and Union for ray acerbity! Alas! my cup of affliction runneth over, and my feet have well nigh slipped ! My sorrow overwhelms me like a tur bulent sea, and my sighs tush from me, like a whirlwind from the mountains. 8.. t while the bastinado falls upon my bleeding shoulders. 1 see flaws in its fibrous texture. Buena Vista says: “The Use of opprobrious epithets cannot pass for critic; 1 acumen.” Yet, lie calls my article a diatribe, and me an ambitious fool, a cruel jester and an unmannerly coward. How does these terms compare with “April fool,” in my soft ad monition? O, Consistency, thou art a jewel, but Buena Vista pos sesses thee not. In point of animus my exhortation wa. as pacific as his tear-stained but indignant protest. In dwelling on the persecution? of men of genius by envious critics, Buena Vista rises to the sublime ; but when it is remembered that be covertly ranks their immortal pro ductions with the ephemeral essays of Incognito and the "rough dia mond” element generally, he be comes fantastically ridiculous. His quotation from Goldsmith, ‘ ‘Cautious stupidity is always in tho right. ” seriously mars the beauty of his performance, for it is not apt.

Tiie most radical error of Buena ! Vista's article, is the position lie takes and attempts to prove, by sub le ar guments and touching illustrations, that young writers should not be fore and to undergo the same ordeal of review, as veterans of the pen. Ti.is is a dangerous literary heresr, and if! acknowledge-! and enforced, would j irredeemably vitiate the literature of j our land. Such a course would be j grossly unjust, both to the old and j flic young, the writer ami the reader. The sweeping criticisms on the old. writers placed in contrast with the serai-complimentary notices of the young, would mislead both the pub lic and the youthful authors. The old authors would bo criticised into disgrace, and young genius, not be ing shown its errors, would never know or correct them. The public gazettes would be flooded with insip id and nauseating’ trash, and unlimit ed lice e would be given to medioc | rity and ignorance. Erecting a high 1 and faultless standard and requiring all to conform to it, is the way, par \ excellent, to keep literature pure and I unspotted. If this is done, no writer ! • ill appear in public without due ; preparation, and merit will have its j reward and demerit its punishment. I have, I think, shown satis facio i rily that Buena Vista has < ndeavored Ito establish a dangerous heresy, and jt>ae that every true lover of our lan jguagoand literature, should eomba •vitii tint energy of Achilles and the j s rength ol Samson. My motive, in entering the lists, has not been to de | mat and humble Incognito, but to de | ftnvl from pollution the purity, virtue I and exalted character of my lady-love, i Belles Leltres. Ido not pant l'orglo !ry and fame, nor woukl I sacrifice my pcn-onnl comfort and the pleas ’nres of my vocation, for the loveliest j and brightest, chaplet that, the god- I dess ol lelteis ever held out to aspir ing genius.
