Rh We find too in this pamphlet, an extract from a letter of the late Judge Brockholst Livingston, dated Dec. 12, 1817. It contains not a single argument. All is naked assertion.

A man of that name once lived in New York. Destitute of moral courage sufficient to refuse a challenge to fight a duel, he accepted it, and killed his antagonist. Is this the man from whose simple assertion the is willing to call for aid? How unfortunate!
