When the accounts conn -
we have no doub, it will be found tina,
money enough has been squander
ed, to have carried on the war with the
utmost yigour and success. Instead of
which, we have proved ourselves incom.
potent to combat even with the feeble
proyinte of Upper Canada. For il
seems that our troops have been forced
to retreat, and, in all human probability,
TO eyacuate the territory, by :he mere
falce OF the p ovince We do not learn,
that at the time of the capture OF The
two generals, and the subsequent retreat
TO Fort George, any of the recruits from
Great. Britain had joined the army un.
der Generals Vincent and Proctor BY
this time, it is supposed, that very con
siderable number OF troops have joined
them, and thus rendered them decided
ly superior 10 Us, both on the land and
on the water.
Where, then, Is the glory which was
so certainly TO be won in Canada TIE
present summer! Where are the men
who are formed TO acquire II !! Our
Administration appear to nave supposed
tina, they could, in all cases, make a
good general out OF hairbrained part.
Ian and that forty-eight hours was
Sufficient time for him to lea the trade.
W by, IL probably took G.n. Chandler,
al least i.sli dozen Years. ID lean tie
art and mystery OF a black smith. Does
it require less skill to do The duties Of
an accomplished officer, than il does TO
make hoe I!
If Bonapsrte does not cheer the hearts
of HE SucjeeSs in this county by some
speedy and brilliant success against the
Russians, we shall probably have =
peace. Every thing drags The war
drags-Gallstin drsgs-the taxes drag
--and we are much mistaken If the
hopes OF the pGr,y do not drag also.

The democratic papers fall most fu.
riously on the characters OF men who n
the democrats appoint to publick Office
But little while ago and 1t was deem.
ed almost treason to say a syllable a.
gainst the military genius of General
Dearbouxb,. Now since the democrats
have uied him, he is to become the
,cape goat of all their disgrace. The
Edi.or OF the Baltimore Wing ,huslends
his assistance to seai. The generals re-
pu,alion.

" In Friday evenings Patriot and
| Wing is copy of letter from Major
| General Dearborn to the secretary Of
war, dated
Head Quarters 9Th June, 1918
sSia-l hasten TO state to you that
the whole of orr officers and men
discovered in the action Of the 9th
ult. sc. sc.
Wonderful haste, truly /! Ten DAYS
passed before he could procure sheet
Of paper,-I suppose How stands the
dilelofy' now with friend Ebenezer I
When the general himself acknowl
edges that in ten days he had TO hasten
to make a commune alton, Of about as
many lines to the Secretary ct war, and
thin ,eas SO much hurried as TO forget
sOhere ais head quarters were"
Thus il is with our democrats. They
take character perfectly stale and in-
sipid, not even amounting to what the
lawyers call a negative Pregnant be
spangle It with eulogy, and, wtIen their
ends are answered, lare il TO pieces with
the same sang froid tina, capricious
child 6rsr handles and then dashes down
h,r doll. However, that Congress may
express their disapprcbstion of such
persecuted patriotism, as we'll as in
requi,al for General Dearboaghs's in
tended military services, We propose
that they should, with the thanks o.
that body, present him with plum
cake as large as mammoth cheese.
