AS arrogant minds generally 5ehoids things
through fafse medium, consequently from
inconsistency OF character they often exhloi,
themselves in ridiculous point OF view. II,
~ not extraordinary that certain purseproud
individuals OF the Hentyltc eonyen,ionists

appropriate TO offer few extracts from his
inimitable farewell address to his country
men. Wherein he disc fioes a class of rest

those at the present day who would under
various plausible prctences excite discord and
intestine broils, in the hope oil facilitating a
separation OF toe states. This inte scsilng

II through passing time, that Jealous and dis
Interested spirit, which aeiustcd the ,llusiri-
