This picture is drawn ny The hand ola friend
As We have had billiard tables and chess boards j.,
troduccd into this debate, hope may be allo,,,,
TO borrow an illustration from this last game ~.
Oh these arguing machines reminds me of ,ho
bishop at chess The black white bishor Uuse
the term not i'll reference to the colour nj a.
piece but OF that of the square he stands upon> j.
q seryiceable piece enough in his way; but bel
bours under this defect;thaj moving in the taponal
oniyh he can never get of his original colour. Ills
clerical character is i:deliblc. He can scour 49,
way all over juSt one hGlfof the board: but h;
nd ,ersary may be cn the next square, and perG.c,
~ safe from his attack. To be safe from the bih
op, you have only TO move upon any one of ,bo
thirty-two squares that are forbidden ground y,
hin. But not so the irregular knight who, M
successive leaps, can cover every square upon IA,
board, TO whose checf tile King can interpose no
guard, but must move, or die. Even the moor
pawn has privilege which the bishop has no,
Tor he can eiudc his mitred adversary by moyin,, .
from white square TO black one, or from blac'
square to white one, and finally reach the high
est honours OF the game. So even poor pcaslut
oil sense may instruct the philosopher as the shcp
herd did, in that beautiful introduc,ion the finest

unsophisticatcd-and though they NAV occasio30
ally be mised, are always right in their FEELINGS
and always Judge correctly in the lone rup-baye
taken up this thing. 1t is notorious fact that in

Sir, the People have decided upon this thing.
On my return home last March passed bv

Gen. jackson; although always said, in regard
TO him, ''thGt 1 could pat mi finger 1toon 6;s

his country; while his competitors and the pre5c-
cessor oil inc successful one, had never rendered
