had occurred a confiderabie time fince, be

in Albemarle coanty. We meant to pub

cannot refafe the right of being attacked

a certain great nerlon
age has got luc'h an abfuid fet of de'endcrs
about him ss ould he fiifficient for deltrry

Mr," John Walk-rr of Albemarle is a gen
tleman of independent fortune, and a molt
ineproacbabl ch-irirter. His lady is uni-
verlnlly reprefffed as worthy to be.ih
aattern of her f-x. A gttat pe'fonagf
' ho refidca at fome di'tance from Mr
vValker's, and who had been at fchool with
hjm, had, after Mr. Wa'ker'a maninge,
ot en in fome meafure.' domrtticated by him.
Upon allaccafions he wan received in Mr.
-Walker's family, with that cotdial holpi
ta!i-y, for whtth aVugiuian country gen
tleman is fo proverbially rliftintraiftied
- Tlre retttrn tTTtTiTrfnendlh7rwas an at
tempt, as toohlh, as it was infamous, to
injure the virtue of Mrs.; Walker, and the
happinefof her hnfbind. He was repulfed
with the contempt he r'eferved 5 and his
intended exertion of hit ENERGIES Jor-the
multiplication of our fpeeiei, was, in this in
ltai.ee, difappoihted. The lady, at the re.
q'left ot the great perfonage, cotifenltd to
the concealment of the propi.fal. She did
ibis, on the promife of Letter behaviour, in
time to come. Mattets remained in that
situation, for a certain period ; how long we
do not exadly krow
We did not tufped that the great petfon
sge had pofTeffed that ardor of ecnflitut'wn.
which W3S ntLcffary for the ret-ewal uf fo
deteltable, and fo drfperatc a fchenie.
We have been, within ttie lalt fortnight, al.
mcft overwhelmed with reputable affuqia
tionsofwhat was, before, futfiienly ere'
'ible. A fecond attcmp was made, by
flrpping a billet into the ladv ' hai d.
In the comirifli n of the very fame cria?,
a mnltituda of fubordinate circumtances
"may leflcn or argument the ptoportion "of
guilt i aid there is not, peihaps, any vice,
where the degrees of guilt admit of a great
er diverlity than in that which is the fubjtft
of the prefent article. Upon a topic d
delicate we decline the hazardous office ot
endeavoring to expat iate.J Ve only fay
that, in combining th'eiiiiU'r'tlances of this
Albemarle confpiracy, there is not a fmgle
point of ajleviatioo,.: :
Whether the great perfonage was, at that
time, married,' we do not pretend to fay.
We have, in relating this affair, adhered to
a generality of txprefftcn, to prevent the
little contradictions of our1 precious .public
printer. On receipt of the billet, Mrs
Walker took her hufband afide. . She put
he paper into his hand, and told him of the
former attempt, that fhe had conditionally
promifed to fupprefs. The great peifon
age received im mediate permiffion to quit
the houfe; and.it is almolt needlefs to add
that this permiffion was accepted ,
Mr. Walker never mentions the name af
the great petfonage but in epithets of the
molt ardent detettation We, have been
affured that he. received; from the gt eat
perfonage either one or more letters of
deprecation I and that, if any clamour (hall be
raifed by the democrats, thefe letters, cr
that letter, will butS upon the indignation
of mankind. Now, dopt give us any more1
challengci to fublifb letters. You have had
quite enough of that. For, in fpfte 0f the
childilh prattle of the Examiner, the. Re.
corderof Odober 6th. made an impreflion
which can never be recalled. Dont giv
ns arjy more defiances to do all that y can
do. If you had not violated the fanduary
of the grave, Saily and her f,n Tom
would ftilU perhaps, have (lumbered in the
tomb of oblivion. To charge a nan as a
thief, and an adulter wis, of itfelf, bad en
ough. Bat when yoo charge him with an
adion that 18 much mere excrable than an
ordinary mwder, even that at the Bloody
