Their aneual per- the articles were libellous, and that he had the power to punish the writer at law, told him to prosecute if such was his pleasure; 'so the matter has stood ever since. Now does Mr. Wilson think that we are going to constitute ourself a court, and de- cide that his simple assertion of the slan-. derous nature of the Q. articles is correct, egrinatious are as certain as the equinoxes, and- their: operations nearly as injurious.
