vulgar dominion of Ignorance and profigacy.
You will live to see tie laws re-established These
bandim will lie scourged back u their caverns.
The penitentiary will claim its fugitivcs, and the
only remembrance which history will preserve Of
them is the energy with which you resisted and dc.

in calumniatng the rurest men Of his country,
because they resisted his schemes for defraudins
his principles and injuring the nation, is now pre-
senCd TO the country as a notorious rascal and
cheat--a plesentment which does not anticipate |;
