It it natural for the people to be
Itere tliaffio one will, in such ft time
s thiatuake an assertion that ia
-calculated to distress and dispirit
the public without full authority for
bit statement. Hence it ia, that
those who give circulation to error
are enabled to work so largo an
axnonnt of mischief. "
It ia or duty to warn the people
that unless they would be deceived,
they mast have a deaf ear for nine-
tenths of what ta told them, no mat
ter bow confidently it may be as-
insinuated.
