\vHAT bcfidc the genius of
envy and malignity could induce
the Editor of the Augupa Herald ,
in his paper of the nth inllant,
to make fuch an unprovoked
attack or> the Editors of the
Louifville Gazette , and Republican
Trumpet , And what be fide the
genius of falsehood could induce
bis erring mind to infinuate that
any one befides the fubferibers
was ibe Editor of that paper.
We will admit that the paper
in qurliion does not abound
with original matter [lt would
require a talent equal to the
Curtain Editor of the Herald , who
can make (omething out of no
thing ; and who, without telegra
phic or any other kind of infor
mation, befides his own never
failing fourcc of forgeries, can
conjure up the defeat and cap
tivation ot Buonaparte in Egypt,
and the total fubjugatioa of the
Batavian Republic, in one week
by his favorite Bifhop.J—Our
lhi£l adherence to truth and
interior filiation, circumfcribes
our fund of that fort of intelli
gence.
Query Were thofe the milita
ry tallies, and that the mode ot
conquefl taught h»m hy his great
gtnn.il Henrv ( nton during
the ’ate 1 evolution ; if fo, Great

nation f'he Britrfh) conquerors
of 1) Republics, the Batavian,
Liguri.'Oj Oil'a'pine, Roman,
French, and laft of all the Ame
rican ; hnr let their conqueft be
only on paper, and in the Office
of the AugvPa Herald. !
We deny his other Hohby-Hor
fical charge viz, that of chufmg
pieces for e-publicaiion, indif
rriminately cenlming congref
fi r,r>l proceedings.
W> pieces from the belt ;
ir.V-irrcV printersthroughoutthe
Tt . < d States, and te-publifh
|1 o(e we judge moft authentic ;
?rd we flatter curlclves that the
extenfive circulation of our pa
per, will lufficicnlly guard the
public mind fiom the poifonous
little tide of toryifm, emitted
through his nauleous link of
putrefcency. 1
We certainly do not borrow'
much fiom fuch authors as wiitej:
Volumes in defence of the BritifiT
monarchy; ncrhackneyed hire
lings, who write in defence of
yazoofpcculations.* Andlafl
ly we will rc-publifh nothing fet
forth in the Herald Office, by
Hobby , well remembering his
having already punk one Auguft
priming-prefs to death.
We will take leave after men
tioning, that notwithftanding ail
his toad eating qualifications,
we arc doubtful whether any
military or naval commiflion iu
the gift of the Prelidcnt of the
United States, will fit his capa
city ; neither admiral, geneial,
captain or patroon of a tobacco
boat—nay, but he (hall be (O
enviable fit nation) the AuguPa
Hoffy Horfc , for a few dilap
pointed fpeculators, to mount
as Balaam did his als, and fpur
him on even againll the voice
of Heaven.

From the AURORA,
Philadelphia pri/on , May 16,
To thi Editor,
Sir,
I heard fome days ago, that
my Federal friends of Northum
berland, and the neighbourhood,
with whom, notwithftanding our
differences of political opinion,
I have always lived in habits of
kindnefs, are promoting a peti
tion to the prehdent, to procure
a remiflion of my lenfence. I
thank them : I am not infenfi.
ble to reftimonies of kindnefj
and eflccrn, and I am glad thev
think that they Jiave deferved
them,
I have frnce heard repeatedly,
that this meafure is generallyer*
pe&cd here alfo, to take place
on the part of the prefident;
and I am rot fo attached to my
prefent lodgings, but I fhould
be very glad to quit them, if I
could do it under circunftanccs
of propriety to my own charac
ter.
But I am of opinion with Mr.
Adams, that “repentance fhould
precede forgivnels” and until I
receive myfelf, arc! hear that
Dr. Piieftly has received a fatis
fa6lcry acknowledgement from
Mr. Adams of the impropriety
of his condud towards us, may
be turned out from hence but
will not leave the placa under
the acceptance of a favor f lom
the prefidcnt Adams.
Nor will I be the voluntary
cats paw of electioneering cle
mency. I know the late events
have wonderfully changed the
outward and vibble bgns of the
politics of the party, and good
temper and moderation is * c
order of the day with the fedc
ralifls now, as it always has been
with their political opponents*
But all Ridden converfations are
fufpicious, and I hope the t
publicans will be upon I
guaid againft the infidious or
interelled defigns of thole * 0
may with to piofit by th ’ t(
common credulity of honeli re
tention,
