Gently received letter from New York. stating
that he had drawn prize OF splendid gold

send the prize by express, G. o. D. This the
New Yorkers did, and the $13 so was paid to
the express company. As was suspected, the
prize was amiserahle brass watch. worth about

sure the honor and welfare Of our whole coun-
try, OF all her States, AMI Of ali her citizens,

thus endeavors to Aatter. They cannot possi-
bly, believe him to be sincere, whiio his loyal
fe!ow-citizsns must perforce loathe him as o
renegade and Gurncoat, whose first principle
is self-advancement, and VIII $50 patr io.ism all i
