Duane and his cowardly confederates are completely choked by the late public proofs of their falsehood, respecting the character and conduct of the Revd. Mr. ABERCROMBIE. By "a plain tale" he has "put down" these "lying Jacks" of democracy, who display the cowardice, prevarication, and falsehood of Falstaff, without his wit and humour. We are sincerely rejoiced to find that the public indignation is roused against an Irish and desperate brawler, who presumes to calumniate an amiable clergyman for honestly discharging his Christian duties. Mr. A, amid honest views, and in conscious virtue bold," can always find "Ei presidium, et decus," both his strength and his pride. But there are not wanting to his defence, when necessary, a numerous band, who have not learned to talk profanely of Twenty Gods, or none; and we exult to find that the Christian Fortress is gallantly, as well as numerously defended.
