Exlraft of a Utter f’om a gentle man in i harlr/lon , South-Caro~ Una. t 9 his friend in this, town. i After taking a view of all the helUgerent powers , he fays :— “ All Germany may be even tually revolutionized, and be indebted to the (pint of French jmen, for the ble(Tings of free-1 men. Poland, poor unhappy j Poland I may yet arife from the | bondage of the perfidious vil lains who have endeavored to extinguifh her name from the lift of nations. And the illuf -1 trious Kofciufko, with his pa triotic comrades, maybe refto-! red to their native foil. Good i Heavens ! with what imprcflions of our degeneracy mull the gal lant heio have left our (bores! j Some vile papers here werefo 1 fhamelefs as to boaft that none! but United Infhnien, and a few| poor Democrats, welcomed the i much injured patriot among us, I or afterwards entertained him. Certain pretended great men, obferved towards him, an indif-' ference, a coynefs that will ever di’grace their charafters, Per haps it was confiftency in them 1 not to countenance the perfecu- j ted lo dicr, After having re-j nounced the glorious caufe for which he fo nobly fought, andi was covered with wounds. Per- i fi iiou'* ap »dates ! Yourcondufti to that celebiated child of mif fortun-, completely expofes your perfidious fentiments. Ceafe delefted babblers, to prate with an rchy anddiforder. You 1 cou'd with complacence, fee a naion, double the population of our s, lobbed of liberty and property by »egu argovernments, and you beheld the man, who drove to reftore both to his country, forced to flee to Arne-1 nca for refug’. His pde ema ci ted form, drew troin you no lv apathetic feelings, no pity for his umemitted fufferings. ‘‘‘ To the honor of- judore M‘K.ean, gen. Gates, and a few’ m jic republican charaftels, they mterrainecl the worthy lit anger ?it their hofpitable tabbs; and by their delicate attentions to him, Toothed the angadh of a mind juftly deprelfcd at his country's fate. “ And yet there are wretches among us, who would lichen at the luccefs of the French in emancipating Poland, or any part of the world Pom flavery. Thofe beings aie called federal jifls, and pretend to be juft, vir tuous, and charitable. But the hypocrily of the Pharifees, can not much longer cloak the vici oufnefs of their hearts. Liberty, bell gift of Heaven, is purfuing her rout through Europe. Her flandard will be unfurled on the banks of the Danube, and per haps on thofe of the Ganges. Alia and Africa, will welcome tne triumphant maid, and vie with Europe for her favors. And the royalifls of this coun try, will dilcover that this is not an icra for the eltablilhment of monarchy among us.'* fIMMMMI For the Louifvilk Gazette ♦ M r .

Mr. Day, A MIGHTY little fon of oM Efeu's, having in your Jaft rum ber commenced a mod tremen dous attack upon an old lady 0 f unfullied reputation, who is at this time far diflant from th e protection of her natural guar, dians, it becomes neceffary i n a country where good fenfe, p o * litencfs and humanity are the true chara&eiiflics of the inha. bitants, for fomo one to repel the attack, and to tell him, that however he may plume himfelf upon his moft extraordinary performance, he has exhibited himfelf in a moft ridiculous point of view—that in the opin. ion of every judicious perfon his animadverfive faculties are un found, and that this proof of the powers of his mind will ap pear as the true counterpart G f his perfon, which is exceedingly effeminate indeed. But I hear he has an unconfcionable thirfl for fcribbling,. infomuch that upon his arrival at Louifville, his fuft enquiry was, whether there was a printing-office in the place, for that he was mighty fond of putting pieces in the papers, and when he was told there were two, he viewed him felf with a great deal of felf complacency, and obferved he was particularly happy ro hear it, for fhould one of the papers I not be big enough to hold all his productions, 'twas but clap, ping the balance in t other. Ac cordingly the public has now before them his frift—what (hall I call it ? confound the name, if it has one, I've forgotten it, but moft unfortunately for the DoClor, it [peaks but too plain, for, from the beginning to the end cf the chapter, the eternal burthen of his fong is—quack, quack, quack; and if he knows no better how to mix his medi cine than he has jumbled this piece together ; horn fuch a DoCtor good Lord deliver us! On whatever fide I view the Doftor’s piece, I find him equal ly remote from every idea I fhould have thought it natural for him to poflefs. He wifhes to bury all the old women alive; or, which is the fame thing to embargo their tongues; in which cafe one half the dileafes that are yet to be di [covered. toge ther with a multitude of ideal ones, would never be heard of, than which nothing could have a worfe etfeCf upon the praftice of phyfic, for it can admit of no quefiion that our new prafti doner is as fond of playing off his bolufes and catharticks, as the good old fouls are of com menting upon the modern rules of pratdee, I think that if the Irifhman's thought (which was natural; when he told the lady he was converfing with, that a 5 ! prefumed her tongue mud Di ‘ very glad when flae was a Oeep»
