FRIDAY, P. M.

It is a duty which Mr. Buckminster owes to himself to declare that the

thought of intimating that it was any assumption or presumption in Mr.

Ballou to reply to his address, never once entered his mind; and he is

sorry if any thing in Mr. Buckminster's communications could give

ground to suspect such foolish vanity; but it confirms the correctness

of the opinion, that _disputes however temperately conducted are

rarely productive of any good_. All that he meant was that the

decision at the tribunal of God would be final.
