Ohio, Captain Bartholomew, was discovered
abreast of the city, gaily decorated with the EN-
blems Of Victory and Liberty, and bringing the
beautiful WING FRIGATE CONSTITUTION,
with her banners afioat, and manned by her gal
liant Crew, many of whom were with Hull ana
Decatur in their glorious victories over the

village extended its warm welcome-every

zeal. has pledged his best efforts: in the coming
conflict to redeem his much wronged and long
enslaved state from Van Buren's Regency and
Marcy's Mortgage.
