What will, wha, can those Demasogues;
who harangued SO Justly upon Gen. Harrison's
delinquency, say 10 this! VIVA. will Gen.
Mckay, that man so full Of virtuous indig-
nation agans, Gen. Harrison, for signing

Mr.. O'Flaher'y, the friend Of NJ eagher
Dnfey and Michel, is in communication
all the time with the Committee, and has
been so since his arrival in the Europe. 1t
