Mr. Day,
Tli ER E is no better criterion
to judge of an Editor's political
principles, than by the general
tenor of his extra&s—mark the
(ketch of the life and thara6ler
of that monfter in human (hape
Suwarrcxo , in the Louilviile
Journal." of this morning, and
judge accordingly.
A wretch that no printer in
the United States, as many venal
tory ones as there are, have
dared to defend before. Hut
here you find him even extolled
as the pattern of probity and
humanity— 11 though the hu
mane part is admitted to be
rather paradoxical." Uc is fa id
to he only employed when def
perate mealures become nccef
fary— Delpeiate indeed ! for the
human race, when it becomes
nccefiary in the opinion of def
pots to deflroy a nation, to burn
down cities, and m. fiacre the
i inhabitants in cool blood, men,
women and children indiferimi
nately.
Upon fiich needful orcaficns
rs thefi*, it is that this great man,
this fiend I lay is employed—
Let Poland, let the bloody but
cheries of Ifmael and Prague,
where maids, wives and matrons
'were funendered up to the bru
tality of the loldicry by this
worfe th< n brute; bear awfultef
trmonv. But fuch is the man,
■ the Editor has fclefted, as I
i fuppofe for his favorite hero,
and as a copy for federal gene*
rals to pattern after. That ire
holds him it: high cfiimaiion,
cannot be doubted from the cir
cumfinnre of his publifhing his
fkctch of his character in the
very fame paper, and in parallel
columns with the oraton deli
vered in commemoration of Ge
neral Wafhmgton. Perverted
as his jurgment may be, he can
not p fiibly be fo audacious as
to wifh to intulcale an opinion
ol ary limilaiity between the
charters :—One the defender
jc-f ficedoni ; the other the vile
| fool of tyrann) —whofe execra
ble nap e cannot be heard by
anv republican, without abhor
rence. ard ought never to be
puhl find in a land where fiee
dom even pretends to dwell,
with any other view than hold
ing it up as an obje£l of univer-j
fal delefiation.

T he mar (hall's runners pro

them ; they threatened the fe;-

of where he war—but Mr. D’s
friends hearing the alarm, the

\ The aftion has been taken on
a new ground, as Mr. D. is Cued
in the fiederal court as a Brilfh

fued in that court under any*
other defignation. 1 his attempt

Harper attempted to animad

fpecch on the (landing army,
and to charge him with inaccu
racy in his ftatemenfs. Ran

He told him to get his Icflbn
better before the next time he

General Lee found fault with
Randolph for calling the Hand

the term implied foreigners
