might say in the month, when my first
letter TO THE DISPATCH was pub

But, dear readersl You who may re-
member the historical facts l alluded
to when even the great unterrifed''
Scipio Africanus, the unconquerable
Democrat from Logan to MaDti. the
double tempted S. A. K, was made
to retreat from the frown of his quon-
dom bosom friend McNuttl, you do
not realize the terrOrs that surprised,
