not a word about it in the president’s
mesaige ; and Mr. Ma lisJn, as you
have seen, never acts behind the cur.
tain. Jf he li id thought such a bill ne
cessary, he would have said so in a
message. The spirit of the people
and* the tart publications in the news
p ipersf begin to have a salutary effect.
Propositions of a more itvr.nly tenor
than heretofore are peeping forward in
Congress. The president, bv fv.s late
m ssage, has greatly contributed to
such a temper, particularly in th*
House of Representatives. Whatdoes
not ofien exist in free governments is
found in ours at present, namely, a
greater congeniality between the exe
cutive and the people, than there is be
tween the people and their representa
tives.”

Have you looked over the news
papers to the eastward lately i Have
you seen the federal complaints about
the previous question ? Bless my soul, j
what a clatter ! The p~ evious questi- !
on ! Shocking and afflicting, beyond i
a:l description ! The noise made bv i
■he man with the big nose who pissed
through Strasburg, is nonsense to it. :
Any question in the worldf (qunh the 1
bab.alers) but the previous qaesti -n !
And, then, i's consequences ! It is to
dissolve the un'on ; the memo s of i
Congre.s^ (that is^ the minoritu) are 1
to run home and leave their six d liars :
a d sy behind them, on account of this (
horrible previous question. The f re- i
.: rravt ^suu tne girls

J as the honorable Joseph L-w..
is, for example,) what is the previous
q ics ion ? ; he previous question?
vVnv, replies Jemm , it is, m. dear,

Iti» a mouth-stop ner, say Quin

from rolling my head about and look

’tis a terrible atta r. Why, Mr. P in

dance a hornpipe, to think ou’t ; and
if tnerr is much more sai d abo it this
previous qu -scion, it will assurecJlv p it
you to your p\s and q's. The sagaci

Whoever there is an uproar I al
w iv * look out for a trick. \Vhat is the
trick oi the clamor abou1 this previous
question ? I asked myself the other
bay. A single reflection br night the
true answer. I he demag jcucs of op*
position would lain persu ide the pub
lic that they ate to be tongue tied, and
tyrannically prevented from delivering
their sentiment*. That’s the trick.
B it wh «t is this pr vious q ie vion
