lowest prejudice, If at loss for reply
to an opponent, they declare themselves 10
be the lovers of the people; if a measure
be recommended, the Justice of which they
dislike, they stigmatize it as British; if any
policy be supported which does not seem to

Well meaning men suppose this course
to result from want of thought often. and

pie as if they could be gulIed and govern
ed by the most ordinary men in the land.

and brirfess lawyer. in reply to question
from college friend, who asked how he
could speak 50 Otter, and speak TO any pur-
pose, "why, when am at loss for ideas,
or arguments. or don't know what to say to
the people. get upon my 1i5cny key. l

bought If this don't answer. get at their
prciudices; tie Rich 0r0iESt tie Poor, that's
my thcme: and the way talk about paia-
