make fair division of things, as they said they would, and as Mir. Ming told us in
 Tammany Hall, was according to the Con stitution. My sentiments is, let there be no property, and thin we would have no need of taxes, or law, but we'd vote alike and every thing would go on in proper man. ner, and according to human nature. ButI spose that won't be the case in my time, for there ain't no political honesty in the world nowadays, so that feller must only do the best he can, and take half loaf rather than no bread.' - Fr
 MT. Brooktield then gave his opinions on the Sub-Treasury bill, which he pronounc- cd Popish plot-he next entered into an crudltc argument to prove that Gen. Harri- son was only middling sort of a person. age-but that the Kinderhook magician was worse still. He then established the point that man at election times had a right to get drunk, if he pleased-to speak how he pleased-to do what he pleased and to lie where he pleased; and that it was tho strongest evidence of . corrupt go- vernment if any one of its magistrates pre- stunned to assert to the contrary. And he wound up by declaring himself to be victim to his honest principles, and a mar tyr to an overwhelming system of tyranny, oppression and corruption. .
 His worship having listened patiently to the whole of Mir. Brookfield's arguments, gave evidence to the entire satisfaction of the prisoner, that he was fully convinced thereby, by discharging him on the spot, and recommending him to go straightway to the polls and prove his devotion to his principles at the bellot box,
