Mr.. Noah too, might find n comfortable
kingdom over which 70 preside in the con-
cavity of the globe, and might introduce
among It's simple inhabitants the novelty
ofa caucus. When these visionary gen
tlemen have so far advanced in their expo

and close the aperture, to prevent their re
turn into upper air, great obligation would
be conferred upon this age by relieving it
from large mass of idle enthusiasm.
