His object was merely to ex ptife the difgraceful fubterfuges which many will resort to, when in want of a proper object to giound their cenfo riotis remarks. The free discussion of a political fentimeut, however different it may be from the popular opinion, if conducted with propriety, is certainly subservient to the public good : but people are apt to forget that when they purfne methods for the attainment of their purpose which are incompatible either with truth or the importance of the fubjeft, they frequently, instead of giving additional (hength, weaken the cause they mean to defend. As thele ohfervatiops, however, have occasioned a lplenetive reply ftom your correspondent, it may not be improper to advert to one of his remarks, which will certainly place his candour in a vciy enviable lituation. As the busi ness of importance was irrelative to the I refohitipns, he infers by anew kind of logick that ".he resolutions mutt have been supposed to be of 110 consequence. But as this implication proceeds from a queltiou, mutilated to forve his purptife i of introducing a witticism immediately fubfeqnentj its prepolleronfnefs and dif ingenuity mult appear glaringly obvious on perilling the sentence which gave rife to his comment : the bujinefs of im portance, only, far " which the society was convened" is there mentioned as having no relation to the fubje£t of his animadyer.lons.
