another election, which, permit me to expound, is by no means
desirable, I shall rely upon the unforfcited consanguinity of
your integrity, discrimination, and natural acuteness of dis-

Milton says—

'To war with worlds and disarm the Gods.'

"The mean the Peers,' have beet), alas for e-
tensive developments ! the impenetrable nucleus of undesecrated
reform. I have now, however, dared them to unexting.uishable
contest, and, panoplied in reason and unfastidious science, I

enlarged prosperity, relieve them from many onerous and
almost overwhelming civic burdens, give purification to domi-

into remote parts, and increase the value of municipal mort-
gagees. These are my unalloyed congratulations.

and America, the public securities have undergone a still fur-
