flj?’ THE CLUB.
To the writer qft/ze ,‘ Truly Alarming I’ article
in 1/zelast Gazette.
- IT was with much surprize and regret, that
the Grand Inquisitor noticed in the Gazette of
last week, your most unwarrant-able and illiberal
attack on the Inqui.s~z'tarz'al Club. From the ex-
planations heretofore given, he hadllattered him-
self that every apprehension was removed, and
that the mind of every one had become entirely
satisfid, with regard to it. But the result has
conclusitely proved the fallacy of those hopes,
and convinced him, that that spirit of prejudice
and antiphathy which assailed it in its infancy, is
to be contiued, even in its maturcr age. W'heth-
er the insinuations, contained in your article,
4 bers of the Club actually were concerned in the
;t‘c:r3actions-alluded" to, or through malicious or

_ have its members swerved from the path of rec-
Conriecticut Registers, for V
g were given through a conviction that the mem-
satirical motives, it is difficult for his Highness
to determine. If the former, he has no hesita-
tion in assuring you, that the Cell never has been,
or will be, converted into a refuge for the .Mid-
nig/zt Rc1rcllc'r, nor had the Members any knowl-
edge whatever‘ of the transactions. Harm-
less and nndesigning in their intentions, they
have no disposition to disturb the public peace,
or excite the indignation of any one, by such dis-
graceful acts. But ifthe latter be your motives,
and you have been actuated by a desire to stigma-
tize and traduce so respectable a body as the
Club, be persuaded that such 7l2t‘Qll and [2itg'/izlat-
racks are alike dispised and detestcd. It will rise
triumphant o’er them, and stand,
‘ U22/zurt, amidst t/zc’ assaults of envy,
Importing and diffusing its blessings and com-
forts among its descrving{though ill-fated) mem-
bers. '
The title which has been selected, his High-
ness is sensible, is a novel one—-in some degree
tending to excite prejudices and suspicions ; but _
reason must admit, that the outward appearance
of a person, is no real index of the ‘inward
man.’ The. rude and unletterctl savage is not
always d;~:voi(l of _fl;-rIz'ng, and the (apparently)
most barbarous and ferocious being, may never-
theless be endowed with a con)/rassionate mz‘nd,7
and possessed of the genuine principles of Im-
munity and benevolence. It is a fact, however, no
less evident, than lamentable, that mankind, gen-
erally,are -too prone to judge of things by their ex-
ternal appearances, ratlrer than by their real mer-
its. It was owing to this erroneousand baneful
practice, that the Club, in its infancy, was sub-
jected to numerous and serious difficulties. The
current of opposition set strong against it; but,
‘like._the.‘Vwave-tossed vessel,‘ with a faithful and
‘ experiened pilot at helm, it has withstood the
‘ buffettings of the boisterous gale,’ and succeed-
Never
titu~le. No vices, (at least in their collective ,ca-
pacity,) have sullied their ‘ spotless reputations’
-—no ‘ in/mman sacrifices’ have marked their pro-
gress——and no ‘ excruciating !ort'urc8~’ haveheen
inflicted by them upon any of their fellow-beings.
His Highness,on first observing your ‘remarks,
determined to passthem by, feeling no disposi-
tions to multiply words, or enter into a contro-
versy, upon a subject which be was fully convin-
ced could result in no essential benefit to either
party: but the consideration, that so direct a
charge, and that too, through the medium of a
public paper, demanded a corresponding refuta-
tion, has induced him thus far to notice it. He,
would now, however, take a_/inal leave-asstrtv
ing you that your fuiure designs, (if any.) will
receive their merited contempt, and that the
Club, with the smiles and approbation of an ap-
proving conscience, will persevere in its benevo-
lent purposes, regardless of the storm which
may beat in upon it.
