These documents, as We have said, were sent
to the Sheriff Of Morgan couaty; but that
gentleman rnthfr thinks that he will not com
ply, Francis Fl. will have to try somewhere
else for his market money. The insult 10 Alex
andria is merely a maan taunt upon her pre-
sent situ alton. The Wheeling "Govcrnor"
would not trust any Of his loose change there
These documents will serve one good pur-
pose. They will aid in convicting Francis and
his fellow tories Of The treason which they arc
enacting, and turn their farce into 4 tragedy.
There is another day co~ming-cvcn for Wheel
Ing. We d. not intend to part with one foot
Of land or one ril Of water, in our entire terri
tory. The only things We intend to part with
art Francis and such as he. They will have
TO run or o~sciilatc.
