in which he swore to see the laws faithfully executed.
All which is against the peace and dignity of the na-

I PROM THE FEPERXL REPUBLICAN.
i The gallant General Lee, a matt who has grove
grey in the service of bit country, the favourite of
Washington, the hero of the Revolutioh, and tin
late Governor of Virginia, after spending the night
at Rockville, the residence of Mr. Hanson, passed
through town yesterday, on the way to bis limity
residence in Alexandria. It was agonizing to behold
the reatnres of such a man distorted by wounds in.
; flitted on him by a savage mob of foreign renegadoes,
1 for bravely defending, In his old age, those liberties
which, in his earlier years, he in so eminent adegre
contributed to establish; although that eye, whit:
' has so often singled out the enemies of his country
has been rendered almost sightless! and that solo
which has so often animated the patriot soldier to ru+
to battle, has been almost hushed, yet it is confident
expected, that the General will speedily recover, a
once more become his country's shield, and a ten
to the foes of law and liberty.
