The Imprudence of Dr. Park grows more imperious as he finds himself unnoticed.—This creature is anxious to become an object of resentment, but his insignificance is a shield which will ever secure him against personal responsibility. The libel against certain gentlemen in yesterday's paper, might call for some particular notice, but if he should be prosecuted, it would be like suing a Beggar and catching a —, and if he should be chastised, the wear and tear of the whip would be more than the value of his corporal laceration.
