The other preachers have ett- rjeavoured to shut your e>es to them, and lull you into a state of apathy ;— their pra. !iiiii;s have been mostly made upof in* ctive.s against the thar- jii-trrnl'Mr. Gout I ay, they have not preached either for) our instruction or amusement, but solely to ruin Mr. (*. in vonr estimation, and thereby render abortive his excessive labours frr vonr welfare. Th"\ say he would Watt you all asfrav, but they do not point out to you xchcrcin his doctrines are fake ! They say he wants to pock¬ et yoarDollars^butthev do not attompl to prove that he has ever before rob¬ bed the Public ! They say he is sedi¬ tion , but do not develops his seditious practices ! thai he is an innovator, but do not set forth his heinous pro¬ jects for the h provement and meliora¬ tion of society ! A revolutioni*t—but d " tiot tell you what revoiutiot»S he has instigated ! I'^'v say he is a pend- .hrif;. but Catiadiana th-\\ do not shou that he has s-ponl any of t/!far mow) !

From the com¬ mencement of my writing on public to¬ pics in Canada, I have never been the; Jirjl to offend ; nay, it is well known to j you, that Fur three months after my fir4 j efTay, while 1 had not yet named a fin- ode individual rcTulent in this Province With djTrefpect, I bore all forts of per¬ fonal abufe without deigning to reply. When I did find it neceiTary to go into action againlt public men and meafuics, 1 Itruck hard, not in anger, but in du¬ ty ; and, for the eauf- of truth alone. At this moment I am perfectly convin¬ ced that nothing lei's could have aniwer- cd the puroofe. There was a fpecies of morbid de ay and cortuptioo fait rooted in this Pr vince, whicn mild treat- ment could not reach ; and, without harfhnefs there was no poiTthility of put- ; tuiiJ dnWn the clamour of fools. iVy C irit is the very oppofite of what many little minded people have Imagined. 1 am a lover of peace aud retirement—an admirer of all that nature places befoie us to lead on to harmony and good or¬ der.
