Sir, Your eighth section denounces the Quarterly Review,and declaims tnostve* hemently against its implacabte enmity —its. false logic—its unworthy proceed* iugs—its inveciives and misrepresenta¬ tions—with much more in the same strain, calculated for the most ignorant and barbarous pttit of your population, for you cannot expect to be believed by those who are in the habit of reading that excellent Journal. To prove your different allegations, you makenumerous quotatiooB withyour usual fairness, consisting of detached sentences, or «f remarks produced by the book under review,- aud make the Journalists responsible for every thing disagreeable said by Janson, Ashe, Par¬ kinson, Fearon,&C, youmarshal! in reg¬ ular order the illiberal and unjust re¬ marks of the Journalists, and unhappily forget that they are more than supported by native writers. Americans areaccused of intoxication, or a prediction for ardent spirits. But here the Reviewers are not so severe as Dr. Belknap, in his history of N*W Hampshire, or the common account of the morning drams of the Southern States, or the fact that there are nearly as mauy licensed taverns ii New Yorkasin Lon¬ don, although the latter has tea times the population. The ferocity attributed to )©ur countrymen, in their quarrels, is more than justified by the events of eve¬ ry day—the most ferocious duels are continually taking place. A gentleman was shot a few week^ ago in the mosi public street of New York, and such is the excellence of your law that the cul¬ prit has not been punished. As to the diabolical praclice of gouging it is from your own aulhors that accounts of Rare taken, vide Mbrse, &c. As to the state of jurisprudence in Co¬ lumbia, strangers who have any thing to L0 vau i.;.rby «\u*tA tape»»ciictraatK tu\a J rueasiire of justice which is given them. Indeed every person who is desirous of rescuing the United States from disgrace is eager to have oome general bankrupt law. Critaes committed in one State are not always punishable in another. Pu¬ nishment by confinement has totally fail¬ ed, more perhaps from the way in whica it is conducted than from inherent defi¬ ciency, as solitary confinement, with a certainty that there will be no remission of the sentence, u ould operate most pow¬ erfully in the prevention of crimes. But it is notorious that party and election purposes relieve the vilest criminals, and that by herding them together in the same wards they are not only hardened in guilt, but become more expert in their villainies. You complain of the Reviewers for accusing many of your countrymen for the savageness of their manners, but what say your ow n authors of the Squat¬ ters aud Backwoodsmen. You ought to have thanked them for allowing such half or tny civilization. The Reviewers estimate the number of the Slaves at more than the truth, but their reasoning depends not on this, and is quite unanswerable. Many sentences which you have picked out from particu¬ lar Numbers of the Review appear harsh H-»<vmko-54*1?mtt>d from the context bv which they are illustrated and supported. You give a long essay on Mr. Fulton's merits, aud endeavour to identify with him his respectable Biographer in the censures, but the artifice is too gross.— The Reviewers remark, and most justly, that Mr. Fulton was not the inventor but the improver of Steam Boats ; and they mention with horror, and what houest man but the admirer of General Jack¬ son will speak otherwise, of his subma¬ rine explosion, which he offered foi some millions, either to France or England. What you advance in his defence makes the thitg much worse, and not ouly con¬ firms the savage rapacity of the Artist, but proves the calculating baseness %i his heart. After beating round and round you are forced to absent to the award of the Reviuwers, that he was only an improver. You next complain that Hoadlriy stole from Godfrey the first conception of his famous Quadrant, and yet, after much idle vituperation, you are forced to ac¬ quiesce in Doctor Button's opinion, that both invented it about the same time. You now proceed to pick out from the Reviews for 1816 aud 1818, many sen* tences stating the distresses amoug the lower orders of the people in England, and more especially the misery to be found during times of scarcity io such a large city as London ; but this is ir¬ relevant, or if it gratify your enmity to Great Britain it may be equalled every winter iu New York and other towns of the United States, for greater wretchnd- uess cannot be well conceived thau is suffered by the poor inhabitants of those towns during a cold an" protracted win* ter. There now lies before me a report pre¬ sented to the Female Missionary Society for the Poor of the city of New York #nd its vicinity for 1817, which states that the Committee appointed to supply the wants of the poor estimated thai there *«• fift««a thou&od entirely destitu^
