FRIEND PETRIKIN,
Since I have read in

our national independence, by the par-
ties that assembled near Milesburg,
Tam more than ever convinced of the
evil that results from such occasions.
[ am not aware that there was intem:
perate drinking, as is most commonly
the case at such places, but if we are
to Judge from their proceedings as
published, there was an intemperate
indulgence of other wicked propensi-
ties@f our nature, to say the least of
it, extremely reprehensible, 1 hopie
I am a christian, and abhor profanity
