press always makes use of this word Autocrat, when
it is instructed to speak ill of this man. We rearm-

pretty fellows cannot go to war. Thank Goo, they

snitable manner, in a very shoot time. Ah ! How the
Goes of reform deceived themselves ! They thought :
• Now, we have lent the rclormera! We have re-

" and, now we will get Gar!: to the gold and. then.
" all is safe for ever." flow deceived they were !
What ahort•sighted mortals !—Oh, no! They eould
not get hack to the gold again. They would fain
now get hack to the paper. This they may ;
bat, it will he assigns:4, mind!. It will oot he to paper
as It was io 1819. It will be to paper, which will
be openly declared to be never ulole payable in gold!
