Sir , ALTH OUGH / am the party who is in danger of being wfoundecj , and not your very able Correspondent , T . S . ( 394 ) by my venturing to enter the lists with him , yet as I think good humoured discussion has a tendency to
throw light upon every subject , and none can be rn \ ich more important than the liberty or slavery of mankind , as regarding Us well-being in every point of view , physical , moral and religious , I am sorry he has declined
to entertain and instruct your readers by any further explanation . But though I cannot obtain any additional information respecting his political allusions , I have at least learned one very agreeajble fket , that it is possible to , animadvert on the writing of a man
of beneyplent character , and to bring forward opposite opinions , and yet to meet with politeness and liberality , and to have such contrariety of opinion ascribed to its- real motive , a wish to elucidate the truth with , every desire
not to give ^ ffertce , and being encouraged s r ^ y s uxili generous tre atment , I will once more trouble you , Mr . Editor , with a , fe ^ r remarks , some of them applicable to * th $ letter of X- S . trusting to your editorial discretion to lay them aside , if you think the insertion had better be omitted .
$ ince the , French Revolution , many persons , wlio have been spectators of u , and Jia . ye been disappointed at its coaclusioAi , are so terrified at every discussion connected ' with the rights pt the people , that they appear to be willing tacitly to suffer a despotisai , even if it were like that of Turkey , rather than advocate any innovation \ whereas the events of tiije last twe » -
ty-five years should teach us a great mor / fl fatso ?* , that jn ^ kipg timely r ^ forms , 13 the wajr to p revent great ana sudden revolutions , or in the great J ^ rd ^^ t ^ aw ^ wpFd ^ " ^ fo ^ tnyPP / t ^ lved frojaci , wit ^ f ^^ or y 9 U ^ * r * WMKSMt *'
