scouudrelism, is OF a piece with the vituperation WIN
which a desperate, condemned criminal sometimes
b~espatters the Judge and jury that have sealed his con
demnation.
Resoiced. That il is 10 the nature of lies TO explode
10 the damage of those that hold them forth; and tha'
the Infamous i~aisehoods that are daily u''ereo ahc
published, concerning the sale OF the condemned arms
will burst and shatter those that handle them, as the
fayorite Wing muske,s have done those that used them
