It i» our fellow citizens m general
to whom tire editors of this pjp. r
only wish to appeal, lor the m vgn
ly of their principles, as ell at
their pacific deposition to those
who differ with them on political
points. At the same nine tht\
avow in uncquivoval icrms, that
they are firm and ini moveable n .
publicans ; from th's sscrtion the
world cannot produce a charge ol
dereliction. •We hold this love u.
cpun»rv as the radical of every spe
cies of moral mtegrny , and believe
the nrau who is destitute of this
feeling, qualified to be the tool ut
any Party, a slave, a subject, or a
citizen, just as chance or interest
may direct his career—but to re
turn. You tay that “ the editor of
the Centmel detests the wretch that
would purchase a trophied brow
by the ruin of Ins fellows.*' We
accord with you in tins teutiotetu
most perfectly, and are at a loss to
know what circumstance threw you
so much oil your guard as to give
yourself so severe a blow ; witness
the onginal threat ol producing a
“ gallery of portraits,” Stc.
Those who can suspect the edi.
tors of this paper of enmity or a
dislike to our new President; or
can for a moment believe it has
been their desire to see tins country
involved in a war with any nation
whatever, either do not meet our
remarks fairly, or have attempted,
with some foul design, to pervert
them. We have never hesitated to
acknowledge the capacity of Air.
Madison to fill the Presidential
chair, & trust tnat no circum&ta ice
will occur to lessen our reverence
for his exalted character. We are
proud to observe that lie is pursuing
tue bright example or iris illustrious
prrdecewor, Mr. Je(Ti*r*oti. ‘
You dare u»lo province those traits
in your character which would re
quire the dark pencil of Salvator

of no gratification arising from the
destruct ion of another’s character,
whatever should lie onr materials ;
and could only be forced into such
a meaaure from a principle of retal*
lation.
In our former pieces we have
used against you the weapons ot
ridicule, as we considered them
best calculated to cumbut \our in
