Untitled, single work column

Taking offence at a brief notice and a further column published in the Colonist, the writer for the Sydney Gazette issues the following warning to Henry Bull: 'It seems that the very Rev. Dr. John Dunmore Lang's new man of all work, Mr. Henry Bull, has, in his own proper person, thrown down the gauntlet to us. We shall accept the proffered gage, and give battle to this impudent newly whelped Bull-pup.

'Because a clerk [John Laing], lately connected with our office, has been committed to take his trial for a forgery, this impudent varlet, whom no one knows, and no one cares for, chooses to assert, in the borrowed language of his predecessor, Presbyterian Pope Lang, that "a precious nest of pollution has been huddled up in this office." We advise Sir. Emigrant Bull, to content himself with merely taking warning by the alleged delinquency of his Mr. brother Emigrant Laing, not to fall into the same, error - to observe in this anomalous community, that neither crime nor virtue is confined to any particular class of the inhabitants - that both the Emigrant and the Emancipist sometimes commit damning sins - and that very many of both of those classes of colonists, may, without any manner of doubt, vie with each other in strictly honourable and virtuous actions.'
