Ycu fay that they knew tire cunning and caution ncccflary to defend their con- dud, which you fay, is in its very nature indefei Able, and did not in tend to employ the talents of F.uge- nius in its defence. Know Dion, Eugenius is unknown to us confe 1 quently we could not he apprifed of his intention to anfwer you. But fiincc we find his love of virtue, and hatred of vice, have conflraincd him ro enter into ttie defence of inno- , cence, and todeted guilt and error, ) we are compelled Dion once more to make y>u a fubjed of piTlic fliame, by returning our thanks to Eugenius for Iris difintcrcllcd condud in this i refped. | You fay again Dion to Eugenius, for your better information, know that thefe gentlemen did not intend to come finglv or colledively to the contdl with Dion Thou fliame- Icfs and hardened wretch, if thy bo- fom were warmed with one fpark of honor,honefty or virtue,how wouldft thou feel on tlris occafion, when thou mull know what an impartial public will think of thee, and how little they w ill appreciate thy charader ?

When men are fought for to fill the Judicial places in a coun ty, thofe believed to poflefs the bell judgment and information, are look ed upon to receive the appointment; and if a Judge of the Inferior Court is thus difqualified, why is not a Juf- tice of the Peace ? Are not lioneft Judges as well or better calculated to enadl wholefome and equitable laws, as any men among u- ; or are they more dangerous in power ? Is it to he feared that a mail who is confidered as the moll virtuous of our citizens, will barter the interefts cf Lis country; or bt caufe he n£ls as an Inferior Judge and I.egiflator, does he poflefs other powers of op- preffion than are in the hands of any other of its members?

Ov has Pliocion the lead belief in thefe imaginary powers, which have been fo long harped up on, and which he has newly drefled, merely with the hope of injuring the fuccefs of a man he knows pofllfled of too much independence to be go verned by his principles ? But fellow citizens,who are thefe numerous fages of antiquity that have lately fprung up among us,and under the fpecious mafic of ove and patriotifm, endeavor to diredl the minds and actions of the people ? -Does thii Pliocion pofTefs the virtues, or ishc actuated by the principlesthat governed the man whofe name he hasftoler?
