A reprobate of this class is at present in the employ of an infamous printer, and through the channel of his impure and scandalous Gazette, is following his European occupation, that of abusing, in the foulest language, every person of honor in public life, especially those whom the people of this country have distinguished by the highest ceremonies of their confidence.
Callender, since he has taken the superintendence of the Aurora, has transformed it into an advertiser of his vile and abominable trash, which he calls the History of the United States.
From Porcupine's Gazette.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY, that Levi Hollingworth never did previous to the election, endeavour to intimidate me to vote for Benjamin R. Morgan, by threatening to turn me out of his house, or by threats of any kind, that the conversation which took place between him and me, was after the poll was closed; that I do not think he deserves the epithet of an overbearing, unprincipled landlord, having lived seven years in his house, and having always experienced conduct from him, that was kind and generous.
ANDREW BURKHARD.
Philadelphia. March 10, 1798.
Mr. BACHE,
That a publication in your paper of this morning, without signature, contains one among the numerous lies that have disgraced its sheets, and you as its editor, the preceding certificate evinces so obviously as to require no comment.
TRUTH.
A copy of the above certificate, and the observation Signed truth, were left at Mr. Bache's on Saturday, with a request that he would publish them, and that he would inform the name of the person who he positively asserts, voted contrary to his opinion, lest he should be deprived of the means of support.
The writer of this called again on Mr. Bache to-day, to learn the venal voter's name, this he could not give, and in the conversation which ensued, his mean, contemptible equivocation left no room to doubt of his being the author of the lie.
Such are the means by which this base editor endeavours to support his party. Such are the assertions by which he has rendered himself the oracle of the Jacobins, and by which he has become an object of the detestation of every unprejudiced mind.
