But, then, Dodge some peculiar people, who have very narrow and diseased ideas of propriety and honor. This can be noticed clearly by glancing at the columns of at least one of their papers, that aspires in name to imitate our sphere, when the poor, weak-minded, milk-and-water concern is not read outside the narrow limits of the provincial town it is printed in, except as it strays away.
