muse the mighty theme in an eloquence of
ccnsibility thzi t no language can evcr ex
press." Peihztps it would have been more
to Mr. Sawyei's credit to have stussck to this
silence. " The introduction ofthe Merino
breaks the last link in the chain of forcign
dependence, siand is calculated to exztlt the
destinies ofthis country beyond the reach
of accident or control." that a pity that,
instead of wasting so much blood and trea
sure to procure ourindcpendence, we had
not, in 1775, sent to Spain and procured
some sheep from there, so that no nation
could control us, no accident aﬀect us.—
lVsr. Sawyer dislikes taxes, and gives an
,admirable reason for his dislike : " no will
is left the person assessed, but but pay he
must." Psiiyment, to be sure, is the great
est evil attending taxation; but in North
Cztrolim, they have complicd fully with the
house and slave tax laid ten years ago, in
ssevery particular save this payment. Me
lth'tnks, if the constitution should immedi—
Lately be altered, so that no person should
, be eligiblo to the presidency unless the own
?er of10,000 sull-blooded Merinos, nor to
Tthe senate or house, unless possessed of
ss2,000, we should soon be able to dismiss
four army and navy, being placed, beyond
ctsithe reach of accident or control." Mr.Saw
\ yer pleads with inexpressible eloquence
for the' preservation of the lives of all
? sheep. " [never could plunge : knife into
sithe breast of such a creature. A single
glzmce from its gentle eye would arrest my
uplistcd arm and wring my very soul."—
W Ttat can occasion this sheepish sensibility,
affinity or sympathy I The orator speaks
of eating animul food as a " most unfortu
nate, cruel and unhealthy predilection ;"
but is anitnal food must be eaten, he gives
Jsi) the ".lazy here;] and improfitable swine."
He will not consent that we should lay our
sictslaughtering hands" on an animal that
: furnishes us with raiment, and promisccts to
be the the wost eﬀectual " instrument of
retributive justice against our enemies."
Now we should suppose that the cow which
gives us milk, and the ox that ploughs our
fields, deseers our compassion as much as
sheep. Mr. Sawyer is very- huppy in his ad
dress to the ladies: he calls upon the fair to
" support with their smiles this risinggerm
ss of national glory." There never was given
: a more usesul precept in a rhetoric than that
of Doctor Blair, to n0tice how your figures
would appear if painted. ,Now think ol :
