The same publication, in announcing the death of Callender, triumphantly asks, "What will the Feds do now." This witty and severe sarcasm, is enough to conjure up an host of scribblers--but they are not wanted; nor should we have made a comment thereon, were it not to return our defective title to the apostate, and, to place him in his past and happiest station. Sounding the tocsin of faction, and reviling that government, whose lenient arms received the proscribed ingrate.--and Was not this done, Demos, all for you?
