Editor of the Norfolk Herald, from friend
in Hartford, says;--"The wretch, Allen, is in
our jail, in irons, with the Inflated negro man
on whom he prevailed to execute his wicked
plans. Behold what a man may come
TO BY a series OF bad actions! About
three years ago Allen was driving about here
in his thousand dollar carriage, and had con
siderable visible property, but it was ascer-
tanned he was acting on false capital. Hell.
now degraded bankrupt, manacled in a
dungeon; and charged with the preparation
Of crime Of the deepest dye"

81 see that Foot's resolution is still before

what was said, Iinvoluntariy exclaimed, lay

read alternately by Gen., -, and -,
ESQ two of the most critical, talented, and dis
tinguished friends ofthe old Hero in this State.

bells rang for supper Supper was hastily
despatched, and all returned with eagerness
to the speech. The reading was resumed,
and finished with the utmost avidity. Long

longer. During the reading there were fire.
quent and enthusiastic bursts of applause by

eneorsd by TIE audience, and read again.
Gen. -------, and Mr. ----, are both anti
tariff, and opposed to internal improvement
| by the General Government; In word, they
are great sticklers for State rights; but on
this occasion they bowed with profound ds.

that both for argument and eloquence, that
speech was equal il nat superior to any thing
they had ever read: and with candor thai
does them much honor, they admitted that
General HaSne was routed and driven from
the field. There happenedt to be two or three
friends of the late administration present.
