Our reasons for declining to publish GER
tain "efusons" which we have received,
we will give without the least hesitation

. Better poetry than this has appeared in this
paper, and been heoted at; and we conceive
4 it would be more to the credit of the writer
and publisher both, if these "effusions" were
consigned to the "dark oblivion, than appear
before the public, subject for mirth and IL
diculc. The author is welcome to what he
has had for his labor--we are sorry he has
y not been better paid; and we hope the next
time he has any remarks" for our eye,
he will not pin them to the skirts of his COM
J. munications to our neighbours.

have seen others which would reflect but
