.New Stand. The last ArgF, ia noticing the
extract ofa letter from gentleman IN Boston, On
the subject of separation, Published in the Ca
zette of the 9th inst. complains of s The tone and
temper IN which it is written, and after devotng
the best part of a column Ia coutemniug what
the editor calls . the low scurrility Of low and
vulgar minds, says Z" the friends of separation
will not be easily induced if It were in their
power, to enlist in their favor the base and vim
iictve passion :" and adds, that = they viii
proceed IN a rf cd manly course and en-
deavor to en- e community by fair argu-
ment on the Ilrs 81 the case.ss With respect
to the letter I'D think the iCrifer was not
50 much TO the account he gave ofthe
proceeding leeting in Boston, provided
it were a correcs ,~ccount, and this the Argus
does not deny, as the body whose proceedings ne
uarrates--or in other words, the info ,nasr Of a
netarious transaction cannot be SO cupable as
the perpetrator himself hether the ill success
they met with at the last trial has induced them
TO abandon the use of " low scurrility,'' Is a
latter of but little consequence, since they now
angage to take nea0 stand, and = express their
opinions with candor aud lberality y"--For our
'elves, we have too long witnessed the differ
4nce between mems professions aud practices to
expect much, yet we trust we shall not be whit
behind them in magnanimity, truth or candor-
always reserving to ourselves the privilege Of
pointing out the secret springs that prompt our
opponents to action.
