 THE FIRST EPISTLE OF BILL CJlirGH- 
 ELL TO HIS BRETHREJV, 
 
 My Bhkthhkn;— As there is a whole shoal of us down tKe street, I am determined to write a:i Epistle to you once in a 
 while, for your oclification, as ye are numerous. It will also amuse the Public generally to read letters written by a cockle— 
 for a cockle you must know, and Bill Cockle in j articular, is a queer little fish. He is very inquisitive, always asking ques- 
 tions about the Rebels and Republicans, alias the " nasty fellrnvs," or as they call themselves the " Liberals.'' Did you, my 
 Brethren, ever know one of these fellows who could proc.ire an unblemished c'lar.Her ? Did you ever hear of one who had 
 arrived at the age of twenty-five, who had not some time or other in his life been guilty of some dirty action ? Besides being a 
 Hypocrite, did not the Republico- Merchant leave his creditors in the lurch, just before he came to St. Thomas ? -How kna- 
 viaMy after he came, did he put off the person who was authorized by those creditors to demand what was due to them ? Is not 
 this hypocrite merchant, or as he is sometimes termed " Belial,' the corrupter cf his own offspring, making him a pander to 
 hij traitorous purposes? Does he not prostitute liis own son by making him patrol the streets of St. Thomas, looking into the 
 yards and windows of houses, and dropping into shops to see who are there, and to hear what they are talking about— in order 
 to report with proper additions to his hypocrite jjarent, wh.cb information tlie hypocrite parent recieves and communicates with 
 further additions to his infidel associates, and which his infidel associates and himself manufacture into calumnies against their 
 neighbours.? Has not the spectacled rogue achieved rogueries without number, and within the knowledge of every inhabitant of 
 the Talbot settlement ? Is he not an Atheist and a Fanny Wrightist ? Has not Corporal Skir , . ;as the Republican Doctor, com- 
 mitted p2rjury by endeavoring to overturn the government which he has sworn to support. Did not Black Gabriel run away from 
 his master in the Southern States .'_ _1f)id not Seriennt Eiitcr baselv dfiicrt )ii^ ,<nL«irc mWn Un i»ft ti^ ii^ii^i^lates army ? Is 
 not G. T — ff— y of Delaware an old Blasphemer ? And was he not pilloried and pelted with rotten eggs for his blasphemy ? Did 
 not B — d — ll's father escape for his crimes ? Did not tlie American gover ment set a price on his head ? And is not his son a 
 chip of the old block? Did not the Radical Eiifilishnian of Yarmouth leave Engl.ind for capital crime ? Does not Ryerson calum- 
 niate every denomination of Christians whilst he pretends to ])rcach the gospel ? Has not his preaching altogether a political ten- 
 dency ? Is it possible to find one among the faction who is not a run-a.vay — a hypocrite — a blasphemer — a calumniator- -a m^ue 
 — a corrupter of one's own offspring — or a murderer? Is it not evident that they were compelled for fear of punishment to leave 
 their respective countries? Will the people of this colony submit to be influenced by such base characters ? Will the people of 
 this settlement be influenced by a publication conducted by Infidels and Blasphemers ? To convince you that it is conducted by 
 such persons — Is not the spectacled rogue an Atheist ? Is not the man of rotten eggs notoriety a blasphemer? Is not " Belial" a 
 hypocrite' Is not the Quack a Deist? Is not the old hoary Searaster an unbeliever ? And is the Serjeant any better? What 
 think ye of this, ye pious Methodists, Baptists, &c. who give your support to the Liberal ? It is curious enough, n:y brethren, to 
 see the "nasty fellows" when they pass by on our street. They are obliged to run the gauntlet from the first to the last lot in 
 Yarmouth — for we are so loyal that they will not ventijre to turn aside from the time they Icatethe Post Office, lot No. 1., till they 
 airive at Rebel Robert L.'s. The rogue ventures now and then to peej) over his spectacles as he sneaks along; but Corporal 
 Skm, that is to say the Pill Box man, cuts the most ludicrous figure. He scuds along through us Cockles like greased lightning, 
 as if he was afraid of catching ths Cholera — paor Wiotch, h-i naed no', be afraid, wa hive loi sovereign a contempt for him, to do him 
 any harm. Let us not employ him to kill or cure — because were he called to \ isit any of our families he would bring his pockets 
 full of the " Liberal," to poison those whom he might fail to kill. Tiie Liberal is the chief drug he carries about with him ; but 
 he will find that it is not the sort of bait to cntch fish of my description. 
 
 BILL CAUGIIELL.
