Thero is another class of individu ala, who hold up theit hiand3 in holy horror at our multitudinous sins, and with much sorrow, but very loud tv-iti ing, bemoan the departing mograls of our visitors, who see nothing ;t our Fairs but drinking, gambling, horse.. lacing, and noisy, humbug shows. These latter, are usually a puritanical, narrow- winded, wduld-be sanctimo. nious, and sometimes hypocritical set, who have much prayer but little broad lur thi way-faror. Dictatorial in their doctrines, and egotistical in their views, all parties who diflar - ivith thou, are rolarded as legitimate sublijects for confrlent and criticism. itueh atui has been done us by theso :jttnderora who certainly e'ould have e.<pended their -ighteois indigna tion uplinul vi r org ani;alaons, and .more pernicious cauiiples than are bore practiced.
