Throughout the whole of the

k For tbs Republican Trumpet,
Mrjjrs. Day & Hfly,
TO life the language of an
elegant writer, I think it the
duty of every good citizen to ‘
ftandforch, and endeavor t j un
deceive the public, when the
vileft arts are made uie of to
| defame and blacken the bright
eft characters among us. An
eminent author affirms it to be
almoft as criminal to hear a
a worthy man traduced without
attempting his juftffication as
to be tnc author of the calumny
againft him. For my o\vn parr,
I think it a ft rt of mifprifion
or treafon againft fociety. In
this point of view, Arifiides's
chaftiftment of Mr. Midedge’s
calumniators is laudable. If
any further tdlimony of their
attachment to the rights of man,
and the immediate intcrefts of
their country, ha I been required
of our reprefentatives in Con
greis, ol which number Mr.
Milledge has the honor to be
one i their faithful conduft dur
ing the laft ft fiion affords the
moft mcontelbble. Such con
dud; Hiould not only compel
lurking envy and bale ingrati
tude to recoil before its brilli
ancy ; but even hufh the de
detrading voice of open and
proteiH o enmity They have
nobly fupported the well placed
confidence of their condiments,
whole intei eft and profpenty
they have coniuited and fecured
lo tar as depends on them; for
which they have the higheft
claims to the c-fteem of a grate
ful people. But I muft regret
ihar. /Iriptides had not ftuciied
pcrfpicuity more than the po~
hiking his ironical period?. —
His quaint alhffions to the Ex
ecutive Chief Magiflratc of the
Union, and a cert can great Se
nate r y are couched in terms too
enigmatical and obfeure for the
public. In my opinion border
ing upon indecorum, andincon
fiftent with that relped, which
is due to Inch truly exalted cha
racters. He appears to be a
great enemy to what he terms
party fpirit ; againft this he le
vels the whole artillery of his
wit, which from the complexion
of his larcaftical metaphors,
feems to be fupplied from the
magazines of quacks, cooks
and butlers. I alfo am an ene
. my to the ex cedes of party 1 p*-
rit; but not quite fo iqueumilh
as A rift ides.
It ha 3 become very faffiicna
ble of late Melfrs. Editors, with
a certain dcfcription of men,
to which 1 am afraid Ariftides
lean-.—to afenbe the moft vir •
tuous actions to party ipiric, to
1 even arraign the acts of our
' Legiflaturcs, which have been
feakd with the public approba

by that appellation, every mea-
