"CExTLEMAx.''-W is Ir:-The third volume
OF the "istory of the United States, from the dis
coyery of the American Continent, by George Ban

of the dernagoGue and the smooth ongued minisira-

more ability than principle and whose and self
sh ambition aspires only 10 lead, without regard to
causes consequences.
The editor of the paper from which We take this ex-
tract values himself upon being more Of a gentleman
than most of his neighbors, and is almost continually
coming before the public in his columns with allu-

We take the liberty Of putting two ques.
