Speaking Of Mr.. Papineau's cowardly
SIGHT from St. Denis, Mr.. Charter uses
the following language:
IN n, name Of Godi phat hurried you 10 be
tie first in running dicay TO the Unittd States?
Yos osghtto have known that in leaving, and that

@Jd the people 10 drop their arms, and that
' abandoning the country TO bloodhounds,

Mr.. Charter reproaches Mr.. Papineau for
he conduct al Middebury, VT, and acct
hin Of being attached to the SeigneuriGl
'esaFe, and tells him that he has refused 10
accept LIBERAL offers which were made him.
