sooner does he take a seat in nubI. i.
mong strangers, than he commences a.
harangue Of some kind or other, and VII Iittnpcat
little skill he is drawn out and read &C y" very
volume; while, in the deepness Of bis c -" open
like the Ostrich that hides its head, he s"n
es himself entirely concealed. An ins,sIppos
this occurred on the Generals late tour &C. OF
Washington. He took the stage at Whs rum
for ST. Clairsville, with young friend Of nns
exceedingly we'll qualified to angle with sn.I F'
man, & quite disposed to do it. Ihave lsna,
able account of the conversation, in which ST.
General, by various sagacious efforts to oh, VIC
political information, exposed his own mr.
ses and expectations to the amusement Of {.
companion. Through this gentleman the r. "S
eral obtained an Introduction to some Of tbs.i
tizens Of St. Clarsville, and there bargansdfo",.
file Of the Ohio Federalist, which has since b..s
forwarded to Washington. Being thus ob,,;ap
ed, after the editorial vocation commence :,
could not be any, much less the oaly sinS',
! menf to that vocation.
The " chief inducemenr to this fasebood
was, no doubt, TO apprise me that he had in h.
possession file of the Ohio Federalis,. Tbs
can assure him, gives me no concern H.
will find littlein it that he can now use to ~
fect'' against me, or the principles now M,
fess. II was an opposition paper and deci
ded one; but the Telegraph so far oustrip, i
in violence and abuse, that the General canro.
! but lose by the comparison.
am not sorry that the general is on the p.
turn to his vocation. The approach to decen.
CIV, which has for some time, characterized II.
editorial department Of the Telegraph led m.
to suppose that he was still absent, although
had been otherwise informed. AS recently
conducted, the Telegraph might contribute
some aid to the cause it has espoused. In the
generals hands, this cannot be the case. Al.
though he writes with some point, his want Of
discretion, his personal hostiIities, and his
proneness to palter with the truth, render his
better talents altogether nnoxious. When he
returns to his post, the Telegraph must again
resume the character that has secured it the
cognomen of"Mud Machine" by which it is
distinguished in the city.
Requited Loye.-What words can be more
delightful to the human ear, than the unexpec-
ted illusions OF generosity and affection from
beloved woman. A young gentleman, after
great misfortunes, came to a lady he had long
courted, and told her his circumstances were
become so reduced, that he actually wanted
five guineas,"I am very glad to hear it," said
she. els this your affection for me-" he re.
piled in tone of dependency "Why are you
glade" Because" she answered, elf you want
five guineas, can put you in possession five
thousand
