Chapter in the First Book of the Chron.
icles Of the Kings of America.
Land it came to pass, in the year of the
reign of King Andrew that the People said
to one another, behold our King is old and
well stricken in years.
2. And they communed among them.
selves, saying, whom shall we make king
in the room of our old King Andrew, see.
ing he is we'll stricken in years.
3. Now the tribe of Alexander, who
were called the Federalists, said if we
adhere to the customs of our Fathers we
cannot have King of our own choos.
ing.
4. But they said, this will we dove
will call ourselves Democrats, and perad.
venture the People will believe us, and
we shall then nave King of our own
choosing. Now the Democrats of old, were
of the tribe of Thomas-whose sirname
was Jefferson.
S. Now the old tribe of Thomas, and
those who walked in the ways of their
fathers, were the true democrats; and
were also called Whigs-and this was a
mark of high distinction.
6. Now the true Democrats, or Wings,
as they were now called. said, behold the
tribes of Alexander, or John, whose sir.
name was Adams, these men having sto-
len our names, and are going to make a
King Of their own choosing. Up, and lie,
us be doing.
Z. Now there was great man in the
Southern country, whose name was Hen
ry, and this self-same Henry was true
Democrat or Wing.
8. And the Wings said unto him, arise
be thou ruler over us, for we will not
have King chosen to rule over us, by
our enemies the Federalists, who now call
themselves Democrats.
9. But the Federalists communed with
their old King Andrew, who said unto
them, Behold my chiefcup-bearer, Martin.
Take We him, and make him king in my
stead; for he will walk in all my ways.
10. Now Martin was very cunning
and sly man, and he said unto the Prin.
ces and Mobiles of the land, If we annoint
me king | will walk in all the customs of
our king Andrew, and this saying pleased

The B1BLE.-We do not know where
there is SO good description of the Bible,
in SO small compass, as is to be found in
the article below from the Hartford Cou.
rier:
A nation must be truly blessed, if it
were governed by no other laws than
those Of this blessed book: it is so COM
plete system that nothing can be added
to or taken from it; it contains every
thing needful to be known or done; it af-
fords copy for king and rule for a
subject; it gives instruction and council
TO the Senate, authority and direction to
q magistrate; it cautions witness, re-
quires an impartial verdict of Jury, and
furnishes a Judge with his sentence; it
sets the husband as lord of the house
hold, and the wife as mistress of the table:
tells him how to rule and her how 10
manage. It entails honor TO parents and
,enjoins obedience upon children; it pre-
.scribes and limits the sway Of sovereigns,
the rule of the ruler and authority Of the
master; commands the subject to honor
and the servants to obey; and promises
the protection Of its author to all who
walk by its rules. 1t gives directions for
weddings and for burials; it promises food
and raiment, and limits the use OF both;
1t points out faithful and eternal guardian,
70 the departing husband and father; tells
him with whom to leave fatherless chill
dren, and in whom his widow is to trust,
and promises father to the former and a
husband to the latter. 1t teaches a man
how he ought to set his house in order.
and how 10 make his will; it appoints a
dowry for the wife and entails a right Of
the FIRST born; and shows how the youn-
ger branches shall be left. 1t defends the
right Of all and reveals vengeance 10 the
defrauder, over-reacher and oppressor.
1t is the first book and the oldest book in
Ahe world. 1t contains the choicest mat.
ter. gives the best instruction, and affords
che greatest pleasure and satisfaction tina,
ever were revealed. Ii contains the bes,
laws and profoundest mysteries that ever
were penned. 1t brings the best tidings,
and affords the best Of comforts to the
a,,auiring and disconsolate. 1t exhibits
life and Immortality, and shows the way
to everlasting glory. It settles all matters
in debate. resolves all doubts, and eases

many Of them. So they Amounted him
King in the room Of Andrew.
/ IL. And they sen, heralds throughout
the land, saying Martin is King; worship
him; and many cried out, O, King! live
forever.
IL. But, when the Wings heard it they
were sore displeased, for they knew that
he was very subtle man, and would rule
to their hurt; howbeit, for while they
held their peace.
l3. Now Martin, when he found tina
there were many holding Offices who were
not Of his party, said unto his followers,
let them be removed, and there places
filled with good royalists.
IA. And King Martin was wroth with
the Wings and endeavored to break down
many of their institutions-and he caused
all the revenue to be collected in gold
and silver. and placed it in the hands Of
his own followers for safe keeping.
Is. Now it come to pass, that when
they had collected much gold and silver,
that some of them gathered up the treas
ure and Swartwouted into far country.
l6. And King Martin said. let all the
treasures be gathered into one place, and
lock them up, and give me the key, and
| will appoint keeper; moreover, he
said let an army of two hundred thousand
men be raised, and have them in readiness
whenever l want them, and appoint me
their leader.
II. And King Martin said unto his Prin-
ces and Mobiles, be we diligent and dis.
tribute money unto my heralds through
out the land. and let them cry aloud, and
spare not.
ls. Then his heralds when they had
received money, they began to cry and
make great noise, saying great is Martin,
our Klng-Fall we down and worship
him.
10. And it came to pass in the 18th
year Of the reign of King Martin, that the
people were sorely vexed; for there was
a great dearth throughout the land, and
many began 10 be in want. ~.
20. And they began to ask, why is all
this dearth of money in the land, and they
answered, because King Martin has squan-
dered all our treasures.
81. And the people were sorely vexed
and began to say, this man shall no long
er rule over us, let us choose some other
ruler, peradventure he may save us from
utter ruin, and all the people cried, .4men.
%. Then the people arose, and all the
provinces sent deputies to the east, even
to Harrisburg, there to consult what was
to be done to save the nation from ruin.
%. Now there was man in the wes-
tern country, whose name was William,
and he was great warr;er, for he made
war against the barbarians and slew many
of them, and he was we'll beloved, for he
was good and wise man.
"a. And when they assembled together
they said. go to, let us make William to
rule over US, and all the people cried,
.4men.
25. So the people assembled together
in the 10th month of the 9TH year of the
reign of King Martin, and made William
ruler over the land.
rs. And when King Martin heard it,
he was sore afraid, for he feared the peo-
pie, SO he gat him out Of the royal Pal
ace. and went into his own house, and
William, whose sirname is Harrison, rul-
ed in his stead.
n. Now the rest of the acts of King
Martin, and his wicked reign, are they
not written in the book of the Chronicles
of the city Of Washington!
