petty plumber have grown up under the auspices OF the
Second Washngton-a no party President, who went in
neither to punish his enemies nor reward his friends
But the whole system OF the administration is tainted by
prescription and any democrat may consider himself for
tanae to escape the fall Of the sooner or later

Such is the rage for Improvement in the powers that

masked, by their shameless perversion oil broken prom
ses and reckless persecution. The people will correct
this evil by rghng the ship OF State, and placing pilot
at the helm-one who knows how and has the ability,
to guide the country by the chart OF the constitution.
