as thoroughly tinctured with the arts and
wiles of the demagogue, as radicalism

Now we do not crave the entire trade of this enterprising town, still, if our friends but exercise
a little patience when we happen to be full and more, we. will dance atteiidance to the utmost
of our very humble abilities, and if after all, they seem not disposed to purchase, we shall not
condescend to ape the custom of boasted superiors, and dismiss them with barbarian rudincss
but with [fl(ZIlfCS for the call, cheerfully renew the invitation. _
According to our promise of last week, we now annex a brief descriptive list, from which
our readers may g:it.hcr some interesting facts.
The Lrst fact. in importance is
A GEEALLEBTGE,
‘that we will give more Goods for the same amount of money, than any merchant in Norwalk.
If porcliiitice we have a neighbor so averse to "zickuowledgiiients,” as to accept this cliallenge,
we hope he will keep his ang*rg/ passio/is down and give its a jiiii‘ contest, for in good faith this
offer is made ; and for the bciiclit of “THE Pi<;o1>Li-‘.,” whom also we summon to iidjudge.
Fact second, is the amount of Goods on hand, and if in calculatmiis we happen to fall short a
few tliousaiid yards, then it must be borne in iiiind the diffici.ilt.y of arriviiig at the precise quan-
tity‘, and if you please, set this down as an error of the licad.
