(lie Ijooii he so cnruuHll y cra ves , liiid li e not in

(to tin .
1 great j eopar dy of my nose no dimhl) lo
drive him from Imh lint Mnutly -hnttomrd en-

del'H lnudin x*' enn without diflicully repent. 'Jo
all thi s rlTelofical floiimhiȣ, Hmre n vary nlioi t
rind simp le answer— Let the coultxh he produced.
After rending (lie fir«t climflruiis effusion of this
lanieul and erudite l'lobinii , I ivns .inli.s/icil ilml
his ' enl arged imder gbi(idm£ wan not to he star-
tled by an tilmirdi ly ; but when he now comes
friiwnrd us a stickler for special pl eading, and
accus es me of wandering from ihe point in de-
bate, or , hi his own most elegant anil ni^uificaul
liiiiRiu rge , of 'j ump ing over fences ,' I confess il
exceeds every thinj; I thou g ht il possible for man
lo achieve. I fear while hd has been sufl Viin »
such nn enormo us enlargement of tiis nuiler-
standin g, Ihit t hi* memory has been completel y
uuuihilii tud. In licencing mi) of fu sl wmiduriu ;
from tin! point in debute , or 'jump ing over fen
cm ' as lie terms it , he U ceituiuly the party in
error.
'Dime is no mis take hare .; I give yen (his Pic-
biiins own words , and considerin g his lnrj;o sur-
plus of ' hon or ' he will surel y be frond authority.
After citi ng Mr , K's definition mid my supp le-
ment , this Helium proceeds : '1 think I may
say (lie form er , is, in the op ini on of all reflecting
persons , st ric t ly correct ; while the latt er , with
all due deference to the opinion of your learned
mid pa triotic correspondent , is obviousl y and
pal pabl y fallacious—no t ,tn say nlmntt in the
extreme' .With this ho took n loi)g leave of me
nnd my supplement , nud went on a crusade in
defence of la wyers , physicians, and professi onal
men in general , whom be conceived 1 hud at-
tacked , thoug li I have no reflection of mention-
ing them in any shape. Having proved to n
dem onstration that nil pr ofeusionnl characters
nre ' workuigmen ,' be than returns to mi1, and
asks some very sigiiificnut .qnesiinrt g relul 'ive t o
the works , meri t , anil demerit of hi? favorite Sir
Wal ter. lie inquires if I have rend the writings
of Sir Waller , if I nm incapabl e of ap preciatin g
their merit , if in y heart has not been ' impro ved '
nnd my ' unders tandin g enlar ged' by Ih uir peru-
sal , he.
To satisfy this Plehinn that 1 wns not so en-
tirel y ignorant of 'Sir Waller 's writing. 1!, as his
pungent question seemed to suppose , I produced
several passages from them , and for so doing,
he now accuses me of 'jump ing over fences. '
As this chivalrous Plebiiin ii the volunteer
champ ion of nil ^professional nnd huuucd men ,
I suspect , on tracing ' his gtrncolo gy , he will be
found in the direct line of descent fro m the re-
nowned Don Quixote Kni ght , af La Mauclia ,
whose feati of valor nre dest ined to descend .to
nil posterity . The wonderful powers of imagin-
ntiou which this Flehinn exhibits , confirms me
in this conjecture. Having put my puny scrib-
bling* into the mouth of Cicero or Major North ,
he lias to .advance but n single step, to perceive
.giants in windmills , and virg inity in wenches
who have long since forsworn its very name.
These cxnltcd flights of imagination are pe-
culiarl y soothing to the spirit of a hero who has
abandoned the fields of his glory , und taken ref-
uge in the sooty battlements of a ' frying-pan /
and that nothing may deprive him of this last
soluce of a kni giit in dwtross , is the sincer e
prayer of a WonmttoaM if.
By the extracts which we have made from the
