As a number of renegade editors of newspapers in our country, have taken it upon themselves to call Moreau a traitor to his country (France) for having joined the allies; we would recommend to them the perusal of the following. Duane, Binns and a number of other gentry had better throw up their commissions at once; for according to their doctrine in this instance, they are vile traitors; besides, our country can do very well without their services and indeed would be greatly benefited by their retreat from it.
