you some conception of the up and down mode
In which political affairs are conducted.
AS to the arcana of politics here, you
must not expect any information from mel
amnot in the secret, and for much the same
sort of reason that Whiskerandoo could not
see the Spanish fleet, "because it was not yet
IN sight" The only secret is, that there IS
no secret atsall, and that there Is neither plan,
project nor system, and that the measures OF
the Cav are like, think tits Solomon's eiacu-
hlion on evil, s. Sufficient for the day are the
