Who will not bid back to the abyss whence they the friends of ambition, in temperance, slavery, mpiety, and all the legion of foul sprlts that like harpes glut themselves on the lovely, the happy. and the hopeful of our land, and "oPen their mouths without measure" to devour the accommodating millions of generations to come?
