tients, who took ,hele drugs, by Heavens

From TIL E SrY.

IN the year 1851 took my old Gun,
and went with my neighbours &c fight tor
Liberty; and al the end OF the war I
thought we had got IT, We formed CO.
yernment ard rnt We@wgtou at The head
Of it--and afterwards Adamt-an and all
things went or well exceit when the wind
blew 10 hard from the ean, that we were
afraid that it would drive us into war.
Butour government aeered 70 well that
we avoided it. and ! was glad on't-For
my part / had as much liberty as want
ed. / had liberty to do any thing that | had
MIND 10, except the liberty TO injare
and abufe my neighbors, and that liberty
I did not think / ought TO have ; and |
never made noney 70 fat in my life and
my neighbours FAY 70 too ; and ! and my
neighbours lived in peace and proige.lty.
Now ! thought the peace and proifef'Ey
which we enjoyed was the fruit O. CO.
yernment. And as the fruit appeared 10
me TO be good and pleafant, ! lupPoied the
Government muf be good alto; for j have
fomewhere read that tree is known by
its tSuit. And | then ! thought it was
true. But, Mr.. Printers, there is let Of
folks that they call democrats, who fay
that government or the administration Of
it was not good and that they are going
to make it better. But aln afraid thar
inaead of making il better they will make
it worfe.
1t lis not good to play with Government.
That let has faid a greas many things
which they know wasn't clever and true.
They have, by miileading and deceiving
the people, got where they can alter things.
But they ant for the better. They have
brayely attacked the Contribution which
was made by the men which we ient TO
make it, and which they and we fwore
to MAINTAIN. They are pulling down all
the infitutlons which were eiablihe,l
under it. I can't think what they want
to tear them down for. They are
good and neceiary to the country elie
WASHINGTON would have told U.s.
He was our friend he fought for Us ; he,
