As to the prescription Of Mr.. Heath and his iii
tie band Of Wing brethren, who, for INADEQUATE
compensation. do valuable services in the damn
rooms Of the basement Of the Capitol. does the
Republican reflect upon the dilemma in which
it would place its party? Does ii not know that
for many years, the fact, that these gentlemen
have not been dstur bed, has furnished available
capital 70 Democratic editors and orators ? What
would they do if they could no longer point to
the standing monuments, contained in the base
ment Of the Capitol Of Democratic magnanimty.
and aversion to prescription
