From this reading +Jack-asses.+ MY gall has been plentifully stirred--by the barbarity of a set of gentry, who _every morning_ offend my feelings--in their cruel parade through Charles Street, to and from market:--they vend potatoes in the day--and thieve in the night season.--A tall lazy villian was bestriding his poor beast (although loaded with two panniers of potatoes at the same time), and another of his companions was good-naturedly employed in whipping the poor sinking animal--that the gentleman-rider might enjoy the two-fold pleasure of blasphemy and cruelty:--this is a too common evil--and, for the honor of rationality, calls loudly for redress.--I do believe it might be in some measure amended--either by a hint in the papers, of the utility of impressing such vagrants for the king’s service--or by laying a heavy tax upon the poor Jack-asses.--I prefer the former, both for thy sake and mine:--and, as I am convinced we feel instinctively the injuries of our _fellow creatures_; I do insist upon your exercising your talents in behalf of the honest sufferers.--I ever had a kind of sympathetic (call it what you please) for that animal--_and do I not love you?_--Before Sterne had wrote them into respect, I had a friendship for them--and many a civil greeting have I given them at casual meetings:--what has ever (with me) stamped a kind of uncommon value and dignity upon the long-ear’d kind of the species, is that our Blessed Saviour, in his day of worldly triumph, chose to use that in preference to the rest of his own blessed creation--“meek and lowly, riding upon an ass.”

From this reading I am convinced that the general inhumanity of mankind proceeds--first, from the cursed false principle of common education;--and, secondly, from a total indifference (if not disbelief) of the Christian faith;--a heart and mind impressed with a firm belief of the Christian tenets, must of course exercise itself in a constant uniform general philanthropy:--such a being carries his heaven in his breast!--and such be thou! therefore write me a bitter Philippick against the misusers of Jack-asses;--it shall honor a column in the Morning Post--and I will bray--bray my thanks to you:--thou shalt figure away the champion of poor friendless asses here--and hereafter shalt not be ashamed in the great day of retribution.
