are as follow:

DidEthey oppole the Britinn army in Viz
GINA Were they with general Greenc's

were they at the fiegc of York Or ra-

fined by Mr.. JeHorfon. Mr.. JeHcrfon's
opinion is, chat he who flp2orts che ad-
naIniitration is a Tory. Duane IS there
fore Tory, and 70 are ali rhofe who are
the fuPporters,or adherentso of TeffcrloD's
administration.
Concerning Toryiln, Duane ulss the
following words:
" The ranks ofToryifin, like tile ar
g mics of Mahomet, are competed Of
"proielytes from che abandoned Of all
g ie6ts, nations and tribes. Ii reonireg

recolleGt that Duane, acco. ding 10 Mr..
leferion's definition, is a confricuous
character in the ranks Of I oryifn. He
is then deGred 10 afk Whole character
Duane had lii view when he wrote the
