| MR. BRADFORD. ^ DECEN refpect for the patience of thepublic, will induce me to be conc. is pollible in my obiervations on a few of the many things advaticed b my enemies. Nor thould thin. rheie deceitary, had Inot call ed upon them to bring forth their char- ges. The ofunion Oi abate wishin which there few are involved 25 it cannot affect me, io is it, beneach my notice. |
| Their writer flates, as a Criminal charge, that I had not long acted as a deputy in the Surveybis Office. be fore I diftinguithed myfelf by demand. ing the memorable double fee; And did I in that capacity after being counielle: demand the advan. ced fee according to law It was a crying fin in me no doubt. And what muit prove the charge of Avarice beyond a pollibiliy of contradiction, is, that 1 became a common fufferer, was obliged to pay the advanced fee, and could not poffibly de. rive any benfit from it, my Salary being fixed, and by no means depending upon the fees in Of- fice. As to my conduct to the people both and ever fince, they are the beft judges, I with them to review it, and to think, fpesk, and act for themfelves. |
| The next capital charge itappears is, that I did not antwer rqueftion at a particular time, and that 1 afterwards gave an explication by private letter. |
| This has been published at my request, to which 1 refer he reader. it might have been obferved, that independant of every other Circum- flance, I had a right to have purchased the En try in queftion, it I had choten to do to This writers attempts to tix the falfhood, it muft be confelled are rather unfortunate when his very groundwork is an abfolute faithood. 1 have no where fard as he afferts, that theland inqueition was the property of Wilkinfon and Turpin. The property 1 prefume is Calmes's. In the letter aluded to after appealing to Ma. Crittenden's knowledge, who was undoubte better acquaint. ed with all the circumftances refered to than my felf: I obferved that, they were in polfellion of the land ;1 immagine they will not deny living on it. Contrafted with the:e facts how truly amiable mult the cha acter of this more than candid .cha- sitable and humate writer appear. |
| The public muft know too that 1 wrote a let. ter to the States Attorney, and that I offered a- bu to Mr. Turpin. How people counter- act their own defigns, by making the man they with to ruin, of fuch immence Confequence even his private letters are dragged before the public. Mr. Attorney I fuppofe is the fuperior whom I have treated with haughty airs, and Mr. Turpin the poor and unfortunate, whom I have ca ed with violence Have they complained " Mr writer as the Knight Errant of all diffreited wor- thies They thould undoabledly have done it to me as the proper perfon to redres their grievan ces. If I could really think the public interefted In thefe things, I would demand a publication of that and another letter to the States Attorney. I faid in effect, that M. Turpin was a propagarer of foundal; if he withes me to fupport it, at his recular equeft will do fo. In this Public may reft affured the prejent conteft origina- Bed and .S it this Mr. writer which you have kept fuch a fuis and ado about? Ridiculous! |
| My friends oble the is much pain- taken to make the people bel eve, that 1 have treated Mr. Harris ungeneronily 1 would afk how he should be treated? As the aggreffor, he took eare to time his publications in fueh manner, as to prevent my eply ng before court, at which time he was bound to his good behaviour. He Aill lends his name to tent every fpecies of abufe; and complains that his hands aretied What loes he want! To fhew the abfurdity of this artince, it IS only necllary to obferve, that he claims the merit of thefe pieces. If he is the Teal Author, he is certainly under great obligations to me: for converting him in the courfe of a week from a modern fine tleman to a writer of Tales, and by the next. qualifying him to write Criticifms, and H biry. Ler any one compare 6+ Thofe who know me, know that I am no writer" with his late productions, and they will be made fenfible of this or will conclude that he is not the Au- shor, as he pretends. And now Mr. real Author a few words with you after promiting great things, and torturing your brain over lit le ones; what have you produced but contradictions, abfurdities, bombait and falfhood Had you have mixed lefs of the foul corruption of your heart with the invention of your head; you might have entitied yourfelf to fome credit as a writer of Romance. If you a.e that real friend to mankind that you would be thought you will fign your own name your next piece, that we may know, and look to you. as the true pattern of all perfection, light ex male for imitation, But if Hafpect Blow you anthypotrite; and impoftor; there |
| is but tittle hope of moving you on this principle. And now to conclude if you dare renounce the mater of Lurking Atfaffin, own your pieces, and (ubmit your conduct to a fair difcuffion we thall fee your name to your. next piece. 1 will then turnith you with a few facts to defeant upon. If you will not do this. you may write as long as you can find a man of your party to bafe, as to lend his name; and jt is probable that filence will be the part of H, MARSHALL. |
