Thus dipped in gas and rolled IN meal, our
nice young man, who never drank whiskeY
nor swore any, according TO Birney's state
ment in his letter TO the Aboltionists, VERY
good certainly began TO feel himself famous,
fully prepared to beard the British Lion,
which was sort of conditional exploit he
must perform to entitle him to the continued

Duck River man had been to see the Etc

Seek 'em, he IS getting old, and his teeth
poor, said they, encouaglngly, for they be-

ton to establish an army Of $4,000, with
host Of officers under pay Of 90and upwards

we were to be kept clear Of European Bank

infinitely worse, issue millions of promises
to pay without Qoliar in the Treasury 10

feIred to in the foregoing, the responsibility
which the little . I AM had such itching to
assume after his 81 40 triumph, IS TO be
thrown Bpon Congress.
