The general does not wish you ever to carry it from your quarters. Your most obedient servant, RICHARD PLATT, Aid-de-camp. FROM GENERAL McDOUGALL. Headquarters, Peekskill, January 15th, 1779.

I am most sincerely yours, FROM GENERAL McDOUGALL.

Brown, Mowat and McDougall, three prominent members of the Reform party, agreed to enter the government for the purpose of carrying out this policy based on a federal union of all the provinces.
