had really termined to remain mute during the late routed between the tiuc briton and candida nor ftiould i now have ventured to appear in your columns were it not for the manifeil illiberality of the

have malicioufly held up aninnoeent pefon as the author of the true briton to the great detriment as they fuppofe of his character end reputa tion but thank god he is fo eonfeicus f his own integrity

the free and unreferved importation of american manufactures and the want of a prohibition to then veltels coming into our prts yet i mod candidly join with the true briton in opinion that nopeifon or

character of fome of thole gentlemen i cannot refrain from expreffing my firm con viction that they do not altogether think as candidus dees- be this as it may howev er to hew their disintereftednefs this great writer after whining and whimpering about the reqnirhe capital to carry their project in to effect the great fpirit o adventurous en- lerprife manifeded wifely ash hia arliamen- tary knowledge liy foolifhly and impudent ly aderting that the rejection of their fttam- boat petition by our legislature is no proof of the impropriety of the memorial thus has this renowned author had 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 england to lower canada free of expence instantly aroufedtheir am hitionaad their hyfaoie fpirit c adventui rojs enterprise ntirst forth with unrfvallcr fplendont hail difmterested fpmts free from fordid fclfifiincls you know no harm permit me now mr editor to devlopc the intentions of the gentlemen who are buil ding another deam boat a few individu als at their own cods and charges and with out any affistance fave what their own fenn- ty means afford have it in contemplation to build a fmall steam zoat and to pur- chafe the machinery at new york to pay for it and its tranfportation themfelves and if this arrangement chagrins candidus or any of his friends he or they may belch till they belch themfelves wearied but before we part fatter me mr editor to recommend to thofe fweet little brunets who have fo conftantly kept up a kind of mufleal howl fmging their lamentations in trains truly dolorous a more attentive application to their toilet and not trouble themfelves with the opinions of your corref- pon dents and as for mr peafebloftom 1 hall merely tike the trouble o telling him that he is unworthy of notice for no honorable man that views hhfiorld countenance would deign to hold communication with him a- dien now mr editor farewell candidus and hould the latter think proper to read the following lines he will probably perceive a description of his own dear countenance whild competing his lad communication 4t thus while he fpake each paflion dimnd his face which changed with pale ire envy and defpair which marrd hia borrowed vjfiage and betray d him
