much reverence for them. Again, we timid in

petty tricks to conceal time expences of building
the Palace. Again we find them smuggling a
Bill through the House at a late hour in the
morning, the object of which was to give the

A dog does not pelt more reluctantly with a

been what is called done in this business, have
been obliged to appeal to the Court of Chancery.
These things do not beget reverence for men in
