NV LORD,


+ am told that such is your philosophy,
and such too your political morality, taat
you can read any investigators OF your con-
duct with peiect composure--helylng up
On thatinnocence efheart. which an eternal

can draw asigh from the one, or disturhtile

ny lord, to address you IN that spirit ct
freedora which republiearlsm emphatically
calls her own, and Of that candor wdichsfs
the prerogative Of a freeman.
have but this moment received tileiia-
formation; that you have resolved BY and
with the " unanimous" aJ consent OF the
democrats in Congress, TO be the president
Of America for. four years more.
The shameless inconsistency which has
uniformly marked your political life, ought
toexctude the possibility OF snrprlze atany
thing you do--seeing, as We all have, your
satyr feet In every measure Of vour minis
try, no calculation Of indecency could be
too extravagant.
confess indeed my lord, that / had IN
sdulged the falacy, that all your wanton
tricks were played, and that you'were pre-
parng to retire alta distance to review that
scene of desolation you had caused, with
renovated pleasure. 1t seems however,
that the appetite of you ambition isnot yet
stated. The sc bloody arena" Of federal ca
sccntion issnet TO be closed as yet, FOR goa
sre to hold the lictor' sfasces for fouryears
more.

of your sentiments, but that creduhtv Of
the nation, which could believe in their SIN

When was it, my Lord High Admiral of
the Navy, that you first abandoned that po-
litical arsicle7of belief, that there should be

AND MOST PARTICULARLY IN TEE CASE or
THE ID PRESIDENT - IS it, thatyou have
memory as 1reacherous as your heart
which baries in oblivion your opinions in
former seasons, or is it, that your heart
alone is treacherous TO every honest sentl-
ment which might then pervade It Is it,
thatyou have had The rare obliquitv oflaead,
neverto have conceived truth on go
