| When all the noiabilities Of Jougne we're uni
ted, they delibcrated upon what they should
do in a case Of such political consequence. A
furious demagogue. the chief Of their party,
commenced speaking in these terms
"Ciuzens-We have Just made great cap
ture but as famous general once said, It is
not enough to conquer, you must profit by the

thanks Of liberty. And that It should cos
nothing to the nation, I demand that Thrift

THIS speech caused a great sensation bu
the more moderate, who always spoiled tht
