Messrs. MendenhaH e TVdLers-


The "Wilmington Minstrel" has already
been SO highly complmcnted by you, that
fear any remarks from me in the form of
criticism, may be received in an unfavor-
able light. But when the nature and man.
ncr of some of his essays are considered,
his particularisns remarks cannot be mis-
taken and they have already wounded the
feelings of the fair. The muse might be
excused for his praise had it been conducted
in that chastened polished style which
should be observed by one sex towards the
other. Praise is due 10 every iaudablc un-
dertaking but when persisted in, until degc'
nerates into fulsome plattery, it becomes not
fit for public notice. Ifthis writer contin-
ues his unwished for compliments, his rea-
dcrs will be compelled to believe that al
though lie is blessed with a muse he is
destitute of more valuable accomplish
ment good breeding.
