fell TO pieces like dust. They would Not reveal the
number Of coins in the trunk. The one which they
exhibited proved to be ducat, coined in Holland, III

The Loco Focos-These worthy gentlemen are
amusing themselves and their readers with variety
of sage CONCENTRATIONS, which very well compor with
their dignity and shrewdness. Among other things,
which are daily pressed upon public attention, they

fires the first gun, as follows:
In reply to this haze only to say, that IF the De
mocrac party cannot retain fhe majority except By
