THE HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION
BILL.

Though we venture to touch on the Habeas Corpus,
No political bent will be suffered to warp us ;
For daily experience loads us to see,
That business and politics cannot agree.
The Government Bill, which we choose as a theme,
Many persons consider as rather extreme ;
Since the right of the subject should ever be such,
As to bear this protecting inscription—" Don't touch ;"
Rut, nevertheless, nearly all will allow,
That the measure in question is needed just now.
Whoever is wrong, or whoever is right,
A wish we express, in which all may unite :
May peace be restored to ilibernia's Isle,
And commerce and trade in prosperity smile—
May the sands of disquiet be shortly outrun,
This, this is the wish of E. AIOSES and SON.
May the people of Ireland soon cease to lack
A well-turnished dish ant a well covered back.
B. MOSES and SON would receive with a smile
Vast orders for dress front the Emerald Isle.
When the Irish once find how the garments are made,
They never will wish for " repeal" in the trade ;
But the people delighted, would shout, as in one,
"May the • union' last with E. MOSES and SON."
IC:W.—E. MOSES and SON isvite especial attention to their pre-
Sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique,
and the workmanship and materials are such as to command univer-
sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo-
derate.
