Another Traitor.

zeal Society: by the Librarian. George II.
Moore, which proved, we understand, beyond
question: that Gen. Lee of the Revolution
was bold and well nigh successful conspira.
tor against Washington and the liberties of
his co;ntry. The matter is lett no longer in
doubt, and that which has seemed strange and
doubtful IN his condition is fully explained
This is new matter added to our revolution
ary history, and it seems a pity that Irving
could not have had the advantage of it. 1t
would have illuminated many a page of his
life Of Washington with a new light. 1t
is in time, however, for Bancroft, over which
fact he is doubtless already rejoicing. The
paper Of Mr.. Moore should be given to the
public. We know nothing in the historical
