way endeavoring to sap the foundations OF the Wing
party, and blasting the prosperity Of the country

against the foes excited by these emlssares, Whose
corrupt and arocious motives are manifest by theiE
early wrangling for spos which they never can WING
We know the response of millions OF freemen will
