Richmond Whig
Will Mr. Hill's "No Hypocrite," alias Mr. Hill himself, who prates so much about the religion of others, or their want of religion, be so good as to inform the public to what order or sect of christians he the said Isaac Hill belongs, or claims to belong? The public are apprised that he was, long ago, a confirmed ; but how he at present holds, they have some curiosity to know.—We suspect there is a good deal of truth in the plain and blunt remark of one of our backwoodsmen, the other day—"If that are Hill is any thing, I swinge I b'lieve he's a nothingarian."
