You are immensely illiterate; but I will reply to your interrogatory.--My opinion of the late war, is as follows, to wit.-- Imprimis. The Americans were wise, brave and virtuous to struggle for that liberty, independence and happiness, which the new government will now render secure. Item. The Americans were prodigious fortunate to obtain the said liberty, independence and happiness. A war, encounter, combat, or, if you please, fight like this, is great and glorious; it will immortalize the name of the renowned WASHINGTON,--more than that of Cincinnatus, Achilles, Æneas, Alexander the Great, Scipio, Gustavus Vasa, Mark Anthony, Kouli Khan, Cæsar or Pompey. (HUMPHRY: Cæsar and Pompey! Why them is nigers' names.) O tempora! O mores!
