congratulate YOU upon the i'm

You had already as;onished the world
with your astute discoveries in poll

tire ruin of our free institutions in the
vigorous efforts of Mr.. Giles to vim.
Ssi-ata the rights of the country! To,
corroborate the perspicaclty CT your
intellect, your friends quote your owa
predictions, and In the true spirit of
impostors hail you as prophet. Like
all other false prophets you will,
doubt not, endeavor to fulfil your own
torebodings. As to the means, you
will not, OF course, be very delicate.

laboring for his counry's good, and
steadily pursues the path of glory, he
will not deny you the honor of retail
ing personal anecdotes at second hand

more correct aud authentic shape from
the mouth of his valet. And, sir,
can assure you, that when his coun-
