 Bulls or Billy Pitts for us. We Americans 

 are men of greater spirit : we could not

 expressed myself, in regard to irregularities, 

 with the utmost candor. The comforts of 

 America I have equally respected. My 

 greatest desire is, to act with such inde- 

 pendence in this publication, as entirely to 

 free my conscience of partiality.
