All the saints and loafers of the city will of course
go to the Capitol; aud what is the conse quence!
Why, all the chairs spit upon; the carpets are

permission OF the chaplain, and the honorable the
Speaker ofthe House of Representatives, will preach
in the Capitol, sc. Now, my dear fellows, want
you TO recollect that all such stuff is in very bad

Old Tip, tits said, is to be earted through the

the next summers and by thus showing him, his elec-
