the unparalell- cd effrontery to place his opinion in direct oppoiition to the fenfe of the country i was in great hopes that this champion of the mammouth deam boat would have- condefcended to inform the public where this great fpirit of adventurous enterprife of which he fo loudly boasts had its origin- but as he has abandoned the conteft and with it i fear the fpirit of liberality 1 hall take the fmall liberty of telling the dory for him it i- 1 believe an indifputable fact that before the building of this great deam boat was agitated a refpedable perfon of this town anxioudy folicited fome of the proprie- torsof the faid boat to join him in buildingt one but alas they weiepofftlted of fo much fo the great fpirit that they ubtaussf laughed at him nor did this commendable fpirit fairly fliew it fell until the arrival here of sir sidney eckwilh who i am told after pre miiingg then the fupport of government and the tranfpertationf their unwieldy machinery for their boat from
