"oo iouSHt UeGWeeH I1lllSDOrOuSn ana GllfOrt court house, North Carolina November 18th, 170l, at that battle the Americans was defeated; that was hot and bloody battle, with the tories on the enemy's side, and for many years after the traces of war could be dis covered, there was large saplngs cut off by the cannon balls.
 It has been related to me since my letter to Thorrlngton, that all the federalists in the re- volutlonary war were tories. My father might have been tory for ought I know. In those days, 1 was foreigner, but, however, at any rate since he did give the tories hard names: there were three classes of these people, the first class joined the enemy, and fought against their country. The second was outlaws, and plunderers and robbers. The third would not stand their draft in fear of the hardships and danger that they would have to encounter in war, but was friendly and good citizens. have good reasons to believe that the federalists was not tories, because the elder John Adams was leading federalist, and he done more in legislation than any other man, and his voice had much influence over the minds of the pub- lie men of them days. Mir. Adams was ap- pointed commissioner with Ben Franklin and John Jay by the continental Congress to ratifv treaty for peace with Great Britain, he ac- compllshed his mission. The ratification oi the treaty was signed September, 17S3, which forever separated America from the mother country. Mir. Adams was also appointed by the continental Congress the first minister pleni- potentlary from the United States to the courts of London, England, i'll the year 1785, in the reign of his Majesty, King George lII
 Ben. Franklin was, l believe, federalist in politics, he was appointed minister plenipoten- tiary from the United States to the court of Versailles, in France, in 1769, in the reign of Louis, the treaty was soon agreed upon and the treaty of amity and alliance were signed at Paris, February, 1778. Franklin was abroad over eight years. He also was appointed a member of the federal convention to form the constitution of the United States of America. He has also been member of the continental Congress, and signer of the Declaration of the Independence of the United States, he was the oldest member he was at the time in hlS 'lst year, the youngest member was Thps Lynch, he was in his 27th year, and was cast away at sea in the fall of that year.
 am informed that since the new platform has been formed by the Know Nothing party that the new members has no secrets to keep and no oaths to perform. In the name of Gol what are their schemes and objects in view While the old members under d solemn oath the new members is Set free of all obliyations and to perform as they choose in and out the council chambers. know of only one relief that can be applied, that is for all the presidents and secretaries to fee the Catholic bishops to comlnSle with their Savior to erase their oaths so the old and new members shall be on an equal footing. Did you never read of the in- huence- and faith that these bishops has over all other Protestants, and all other cergvmen they say can cause the deepest stain of sin that eyer was committed wiped out provided they are feed libcraly. Many time for sev- eral years have 1 watched the dark angry clouds, by day by night, when my growing crop ''ANe been exposed under the rays of the burn 'n- nd Parchng sun for six or eight weeks, at oLe gwen tune, to my sorrow and grief, the clouds generally go around or vanish away, when at the same time, my neighbors had good and refreshing showers say to myself, wonder II my ncg ghbors has held secret meeting to devise ways and means to fee bish- op Dyrne to commune with the Redeemer of the universe to send them rain whenever they wanted it.
