Please ask them to stop at Pittsburgh and take a

fairs, after speaking of O'Connell and his followers a
the "hoary old traitor and his ruffianly and rebel
pealers," thus concludes:—"We thirst for no man
blood, yet we conceive that it would be a blessed d

by birth and fortune, belong to the higher ranks of -
clay.
