TO THE EDITORS
ERRATUM.
Gentlemen.
So viper-like have some of the factious editors become, and so disgusting are their essays to virtuous minds, that no trouble need be taken to rebut their efforts against the supporters of the cause of freedom, and the principles of justice. The people are awakening
'Tis, however, not amiss to pity and laugh at their blindness and folly, as all attempts to amend them or their principles were vain-and this "accounts for why" Eureinateus, condescended to notice the degenerate extract from the Boston Gazette in your yesterday's paper.
And it is that this notice may lose none of its application that you are desired to correct the typography of part of the first paragraph. Instead of-"s was designed by its maker to know the feelings of the Head of the Navy Department"--it should read-"was designed to gnaw the feelings," &c.
