The zeiSe men of;he East have complete

been erectedH-oreated by iniquity thsy I've

was to be a sort Of feudatory appanage &c

TINS to their actual situation, and it repre-

natiuns these they dislike, not as they re.
'ally are, but as they would have them to
be.
So strong was this infatuation, that they
had concluded that the tos.s, for 1914 could
not be obtained by government without
them: 1t never entered into their magma
ton that money WAS to be had aav where
but in Boston, or from the strong chests oi

The eastern folks had conspired against

These eastern satraps calculate in the

imagined that Canada cannot be inva ded
nor conquered without them; vet presently
we shall fad these very people cour.ing

The accomplishment Of the loan in so
shopt a time and on such easy terms, is
more than the eastern folks had calculated
