Party in Congress. They forget that Dr. Mallory is the
grandson of one Of those wetred Patriots who fell
n the War of the Revolution, leading small band
Of Militia against a we-organizcd British force ofeight
hundred men at Finche's Dam Bridge, in the county
Of Elizabeth city and they but miserable pol;tl
