CHATTER l.
/. In the first year Of Martins dedi-
cation, the chief ruler, it came to pass,
that all the banks, from the east, all
along the coast ofthe mighty sea, unto
the west, until thou contest to the hea-
then land, all suspended specie pay
ment;
2. And in those days, there war pc
rilous times in all the land. for there
was hardly one shecklc Of gold or sill
yer to be had, from the coast of MaiDe
to the borders of Texas.
3. Andin those days, Martin ca led
the wise men together to consult u pm
the times; and now the mighty n kn
that ware among the sons of the Tories
called aloud unto Martin and unto the
wise man, saying, give us a National
Bank, and it will be good with us and
and our little ones.
A. But Martin, and "a mojority of
wise men in the Great Sanhedrim, an
answered them, saying, Know we not,
that we had National Bank in the
days of Andrew, which the people put
down by their wise men, Il aided by
old Hickory, they obtained the victory
over the monster; and we will not a.
gree to establish, another, for the ben
eft of the few, at the expense of the
many, upon no consideration.
'4 5. And II come to pass, that this say
ing created great rumor among the
Bankites, for their wrath was much
kendled against Martin and many Of
the wise men.
6. Now in those days, there was one
Nicholas, proselyte of Philadelphia,
who went unto the God-like Daniel,
the chief prophet among the Tories. to
enquire what should be done;
Z. And Daniel opened his mouth,
and said, Lo, Nicholas, | adure you by
the faith of all Banks in the land, that
you do not resume specie payment, and
alsotry to hinder Others, if possible,
until we can hoist Martin out of the
Tabernacle, and 10, brother, if the pre-
sent state Of the country is not changed
by the Banks resuming, we can cry a
loud against Martin and defeat him;
and this saying pleased Nicholas much,
for he loved Daniel greatly.
5. And in those days, there prevail
led mighty rumor throughout all To-
ryism, who should be their candidates.
Now in those days, were the Clayites
and the Harrisonites. and the White
ties, and they could not agree; SO they
told these things unto Daniel, and bel
opened his mouth and said, Lo. breth-
ern, know ye not, that the friends of
Martin held convention and prosper
ed; let US now also hold one at Hart
ford, and there join all our brethren
together into one band. and our ends
can be accomplished to nicity.
9. And it came to pass, when Dan
lei had made an end of those saying
they shouted with mighty voice, say
ing, Oh, Daniel, live forever; be it &C
cording to your words.
10. So Daniel called them together,
and they brought forth William, whose
sir-name is Harrison, and he stood be-
fore Daniel, and Daniel said, Lo, this
man wears the title of petticoat hero,
and surely is not the one anointed to
be king. So they brought in old Hugh
before him, and Daniel looked upon
him and answered, this old man may
answer for tool if we get into pinch,
but surely he is not the one anointed
to be king; and so they brought in
the great western man, whose name is
Henry, and Daniel locked upon him
and said, Surely this is the chosen one,
who hath been anointed to be chiefru-
Ter of this mighty nation; SO come hear
unto mo, Henry, that / may bless thee,
and my soul shall be exceedingly glad.
III. And Henry lifted up his eyes
and he ,wept and said, Oh, Daniel,
live forever, thou shalt be the second
ruler in the Kingdom; or if thou fear
to come before the people, will give
to thee the Secretaryship.
IL. And after Daniel and Henry
had made an end of these sayings,l
and the Tories cried Amen, and Sc
pareted.
