mcnting on the steps lately taken ky President

Giradin tells his readers that scheme of
making Patrick Henry dictator was talked of
in the Virginia Assembly, in l776. Archibald
Cary, meeting with Col. Symc, the halrbroth-
er of Henry, in the lobby ofthc house, accostcd
him: "Sir, am told that your brother wishes
to be dictator. Tell him, from me- that the
day of his appointment shall be the dav of his
death :; for he shall find my dagger in his
heart before the sunset of that day." And the
scheme was abandoned, for all knew that "Old
Iron" would have made good his threat. There
are descendants of "Otd Iron" living in Virgin
ia yet.
