Ihe name is dill a myftery. It is eminently due to the gentlemen to whom the two above letters were ad drefled, and who has kindly put copies of them into our poflef lion, to fav that he has not communicated to us the name ofthe f< high federal charader.” Yet w r e are in pofltfliion of a variety of facts derived from a multiplicity of fourccs, which do mere than enable us to con jefture, with conflderable accu racy, the name of the “high federal character.” We there fore date it as our deeded opi nion, and on which we think the public may with fafety rely, that General Hamilton is that high federal character.” [Other facts are mentioned at great length to fhew that Gen. i lamilton was the federal cha racter alluded to, and that the conduct o* Col.

G. againd whom fcveral prefentments were made at fome of the preceding courts. The grand jury being adjourn ed over to the feccnd day, he was again prefented for open ing a pharo bank the preceding night; the court iffbed a pro ccJs and had him taken and brought before them, and after binding him in a recognizance forhisgood behaviour for twelve months, with two fecurities, proceeded to try him under the vagrant aft, when he w r as by the court deemed a vagrant, and committed to the cudody of the fheriff to be delivered to the overleers of the poor, and by them to be fold, for the term of one month, for the bed price to be had, and the money to be applied to the ufe of the poor of theparifn.
