have casually letter addressed 10 you by John
NJ. Bolts, which add; another TO The striking proofs
every dag given by the Wings, Of the calculations which
they appear 10 make upon the stupidity and crcduy of
the people. This party 10 have persuaded them
selves that there extravaganza absurdIty how
gross that may not be safely vemturcd with the
people, and which no. prepared to receive at their
bidding. The writer oil the letter above mentioned, af
ter declaring himself the friend n The Right Of nsruc
tion undertakes 10 affirm la; b. W. Leigh is stauncl
supporter OF The principle. And how does lie prove
this: Why he tells Us must believe H. because Nj l..
intends to resign by the ls Of December Now,
Fellow. citizens the correctness ui this assertion, and lie
correctness, too, of this writer opinions about in
suctions, may be well tested by illustration strictly
applicable, and perfectly cGmprriC nsibc.-We all know
that the has been exceedingly univouraLc for
farming aud that we are The more hurried and moie
anxious too, to prepare our land Tor seeding oats, and
planting corn Suppose yen should call up one Of your
servants and say to him: " Benz AMIN, 90 immediately
aud plough this that iirdiose time in doing
this; Wiz" 10 seed 1t IN oats, anu the season Is already
far advanced" Suppose your servant should reply
you:-'Sit, ought nat, cannci, and 'rM no plough
The field you have directed; and more than that,
r0 you: Scrrant, will not give up the plough

other person, and not nyscIf to take the plough Now,
Feluw-czcns, if such should lie your orders to your
acknowledged servant and such his reply to you, let me
ask Of you what you would think and what would you
say: Your opinions and your conduct too, easily be
inferred. lis true you have lost your CROP and your
whole plan OF farming operations has been dcranged-
but according John NJ Dotts you Int nevertheless TO
proclaim this the most exemplary obedience, and
by the Of reasoning. you cught to thank
Ibis servant that he has not in defiance OF you taken
the plough and horses and appropriated them exclusive
ly to hnsclr.-You ought, by parity, humbly TO thank
Mr. Leigh that he docs not resolve TO hold his place for
an indefinite length Of time-that he has condescendcd
10 maine the lst Of December the period at which
he will bc pleased retire And perhaps, il he takes it
into his head to please himself Or yield 10 the persua
sions of his party, and they carry majority IN the next
Legislature, and they beg him to hold Oh! what then be-
which tins dsobcdcnt want vii deserve just as Brent
and Giles deserved it in 1872 and which he q. w. L.
gave them in his Rep"rE This fellow citizens, is the
kind Of obedience 10 instruction OF which J. NJ Bolts is
