PORCUPINE
To the Public.
WHEN I determined to discontinue the
publication of Porcupine's Gazette, I inten
ded to icmain for the future, if net an un
toncemed, at lead, a silent fpc£tator of pub
lic i lanfa&ions and political events ; but.
the unexpected and sweeping refuk of a law
fait, since decided against me, has induced
ine to abandon try louuging intention. The
suit to which I allude, was an a&ion of
(lander, commenced against me in the au
jtumn of 1797, by Doftor Benjamin Rufli,
the noted bleeding phylician of Philadelphia.
It was tried 011 the 14th of December last,
when " the upright, enlightened an 4 impar
tial Republican Jury" aflefied, as damages,
Jive thousand dollars ; a sum furpailiug the
aggregate amount of all the damages, aflc.fT
ed for all the'tOrts of tIjTS" kifii}, ever fucd
for in these States, from, their firft fettlc
. ment to the present day. To the Ijve .thou
sand dollar?, mull be added the colls of suit,,
the loss incurred by the interruption in col
lefting debts in Pen'nfylvania, and by the
facrifi.ee of property taken in execution, and
Mdiby t! ; fnerifl' at p*blic audYion in Phi
ladelphia, whe/e a great number of books ill
; iheeti (aiROWg which was a part of the new.
edition oj JPorcupitic's Works) were fold, or
rather given away, as wafle paper ; so, that,
ithe total xif what has been, and will be,
wrested from me Riifji, Will fail little
Ihort of eight thousand dollars.
To lav tb.Ttjl Jo iv t feel this ftrcke, and
very frnubly too, would be great; afTe-rt;-
! tion ; luit, to repine at it wou!4 be -icily,
i and to fink under it. would be cowardice, t
knew a.i 'Ertglifhman ui the Royal Province
of New Bri'iifwick, who had a very valuable
house, which, was, 1 believe, at that time,
nearly his all, burnt to th.e ground. He
was out of tpwn when tlic ( fire broke out,
and happened to conic jnft iftcr it liad(>xl)»l|-
.' fted itfclf. Every one, knowing liow hard
' lie had"earned the property, expeficd to fte
him bitterly bewail its Ihfs. He came very
