which ought MT to be--of things which must not
continue to be-of evils which must be rooted out
from among us--of curses accommodating on our
state, and corruption spreading like pestence in
the lobby Of our legislature. We spoke of men
who had made traffic of our Representatives and
took brides to delude them, who engaged to
teach others how they might best execute these ne
farious purposes or these subjects We have spo
