been subject to ridicule and insult.
He was once attending General Wash

time before the rest Of the company.
He went directly to the kitchen deman

taking him for servant, told him she
would give him some victuals in a mo

pot THIS he complied with and set down
to some cold meat which she had placed
before him on the dresser. This girl
was remarkably inqulSitive about the
guests who were coming, particularly Of
Lee, who she had heard was one Of the
oldest aud ugliest men in the world.
In FEW MOMENTS SHE DESIRED the
General again TO assist her IN placing on
the pot, and scarcely had he finished,
when she requested him to take the buck
ct and 20 to the we'll. Lee made no OBJ
jections, and began drawing the water
In the mean time General Washington al
rived, and an aid de camp was despatched
In Search Of Lee, whom 10 his surprise he
found engaged as above. But what wal

of the controversy, growing out of the
escape; and we are, at length, heartily
willing TO concur in the opinion. We
have borne with it thus far, from desire
to redeem the pledges which we gave at
the commencement of our career as pub.

the parties will think 1t necessary to
pursue the subject further; hut, If Mr. Kel

to conclude, without introducing new

Congress. In looking over our Wash

will doubtless give rise to an angry and
protracted debate. If the limits ofany Of
the speeches should admit, we shall pub

The following is the form of the resolu-
ton as introduced by Mr. Benton:
."ResOlped, That the said resolve be
