UNICIPAL CORPORATION. —Having received a requisition to call "a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Nelson, for the purpose of considering the propriety of applying to the Government to declare this town a borough, I hereby announce that a MEETING will be held for that purpose in the COURT-HOUSE, on SATURDAY next, the Bth of April, at three o'clock. H. A. Thompson, March 31 . Police Magistrate. TO Mb. SAUNDERS. SIR — Stung by a succession of letters into an attempted shew of honesty, you have ventured forth at the "eleventh hour" to redeem j if possible, the honour you have lost. " Better late than never " is a good maxim ; but, had you determined sooner to do " your duty,'\ you might have saved yourself some money, and have prevented yourself being laughed at. Sir, it is the part of a fool to talk to no purpose, and prate about things he cannot comprehend. You have got the word " duty "on your tongue, and just learned, enough " To know the right and choose the wrong." You have imagined that to deal with your readers as a con' juror does with his audience, would enable you to pass with the public as a paragon of perfection. It is one thing to lisp about duty, and another thing to discharge it. A parrot can do the]former, and it will require, I imagine, a better man l than you to do the latter. What have you done ? You say you can refer me to ten individuals, who can prove that I sold <" light bread." Why you have been saying thit, that, and the other, for many weeks, and Ido assure you to but little purpose," 10 long as you conceal their names. Why don't you refer me to them ? Lies, though plausibly worded, like water, will find their level ; and, though enforced with the most religious phraseology, rise, but to sink again, to the foul source from whence they spring. Who arethese midnight revilers, these panderers to your unblushing effrontery, that their names cannot be heard of but by your ears, nor seen but in " your books V ' You may say you have offered to go with me to the parties ; but it is not myself that you are to satisfy only, but the public also • and, after you have made a charge against a man, it isi your duty to supply the proof, and not the parties youhaw calumniated. Do you still think that your word will satisfy the public, or that, after you have forfeited all respect by your uncenerousness, evasiveness, and slanders, they will give you credit for either truthfulness or sincerity ? As long as you shuffle in this manner, I will give you this assurance, thafH will remind you of your " dnty." I will bait you till you gifj either boldness to your falsehoods, or silence to your tongue. Bring forward these skulking slaves to your will, rank and file, to make good your first charge, namely, thstsome unprincipled bakers have been in "the habit" of selling light bread. No one requires you to prove that a chance loaf or two in a batch may casually be light, through the adhesion of one loaf to another. This is unavoidable— this is not the question. You an as liable to such accidents as any other man, and you ought to have-MwAetf ere you allowed your rapacious heart to construe such an occurrence into an act of , fraud 1 I can prove your loaves to be frequently short of the weight ; but I should feel ashamed, for the purpose of securing to myself a trade, to charge you with intentional fraud, on a systematic scale. You have this to prove against me, and you «ft»n either do this or repent every act of your nutdnttw and your folly. As to the respectability of my friends, you seem to think, vai justly, that criminality is no recommends* tion to character ; but you must remember that a man may acquire, by cunning and cowardice, the reputation of a felonr without bong amenable to human laws. A man may commit depredations with his tongue, as well as his hands, and steal by detraction, when he dare not act the robber. Howfsr you have done this I leave the public to judge ; and whsWyour heart is leu inflamed by the impurity of your passions, I shall join with that public in welcoming you to society and to virturj for with us, as in Heaven, ".there is more joy over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety and ninett*i go not astray.''
