To Doctor Dinmore.

SIR,

Having full employment for every moment of my time will apologize for my being brief with you; while feeling myself with every American "belittled," to use the phraseology of the Mammoth of Democracy, by the impertinent interference of foreigners in our public and local concerns, will pardon a native of the county of Loudoun, in putting two or three queries to you.

Except self-interest, there is not perhaps a fibre which leads more directly to the heart than national pride. As it respects yourself I know nothing, but this I do know, that your countrymen are tenacious of it, and I prize it wherever it may be found.

Such sir, being my sentiments, and such the feelings of every honest man--what am I to understand from a paragraph in your paper of the 28th ultimo, relative to Mr. Lewis's opinion on the Louisiana Treaty, which you concluded with this expression the "enlightened Dutchmen of Loudoun?"

Is it a sneer at a majority of the citizens whom Mr. Lewis represents in our National council?.

If so, which is fairly deducible from the tenor of your paragraph, have you not particularly as an alien, made an expression not warranted by common good breeding, while it marks an impertinence, that nothing can reconcile but the axiom, that leaves you to do things in your "own way"

A Native of Loudoun.
