THE NATIOOT, PECISTER. MR. BURNETT'S REPLY. We have been favoured with the following pithy communicatien by Mr. Burma himself, in consequence of Verax's letter in our Paper of Sunday moonlight. To that correspondent we lease the ease of answering, it he thinks it necessary. Mr. Burnett has taken up the gauntlet in a resolute manner and the quotation which he has assumed as his motto for the contest, shows a dt termined spirit which might overawe a less on annoted antagottist. We are too con fident in the courage of the champion of Vaccination to fear he would shrink frau the battle, and too conscious of the goodness of his cause to suppress any argument which may be brought agaimt him. Mr. Burnett ;ay therefitre rely tilt the strictest impartiality in the insertio:t of his communications. We shall not disarm thew of any portion of their strength. and he w ill see that in pursuance t() this plan, we hate carefully abstained frpm cortz-cting either his grammar or his oriito2raphy in laying tier following select specinteo before the public. It is printed without a change of letter or punc tuation from his copy, and we hope will give both him and his frie:ids mull satisfaction. As he finds the introduction of his name and portraits in Tull - N vrioN AL REGISTER so advantageous to the pro pagation of Small l'ox Inoculation, we trust he will become a warm patron to our paper and introduce it in return to all his patients, 01 distribute it gratis among the poor. We think ourselves bound in honour, however, to inform him that he has been perhaps too san grnne in his expectations of increased success, occasioned by the re port of fifteen new patients, who came to him" he tells us, in con sequence of having read Verax's letter, as we have heard of twenty persons, hitherto in the habit of having their children inoculated with the Small Pox, who have in conseq Alice of the same letter gi veil up the practice and applied to have them vaccinated. There seems therefore hi be a balance of five in tvt enty gained by Vaccination, through the arguments employed by Vertex. We hope Mr. B. will continue to favour us with his communications,as they will, no doubt, contribute to augment the number. Let him be datrn'd who first cries hold enough.
