For the Gazette of the United States.
REALLY. Mr. Fenno, I cannot but congratulate you upon the progress of your brilliant Gazette. The Electioneering paragraphs in your paper of Monday begin the week in fine style. The invention of Mr. B's. printing office was a good one; the Resolutions excellent; the Court of Justice admirably introduced; the epitaph on Maris's quarrel all of a piece. But can you really believe such perfect nonsense will indeed pass on your customers or the public? If you do, you must have formed but a poor opinion of them during your residence among us. No, No, Sir, all this will not do. The Candidates are before the public. They know how to estimate their abilities and their service; they will choose for themselves and will not be gulled by such trash, as really is a disgrace only to the heads and the hearts of those who promulge it.
