Thus ended, and thus persisted most de-
servedly, the greatest instance of legisIa-
tive jugglery the world ever witnessed,
perlIaps-the most deIusive and deceptiye
conglomcration Of measures that were ever
urged on free people by persuasion and
sweet names. 1t died simply because it
was not fit to live, and not for want of any
care and nursing; on the contrary, never
was bantling more tenderly or more sedul-
ously handled, and never, since the DAYS of
Macbeth's witches, has cauldrom Been
mixed full Of moro dissimilar Ingredients, or
been stirred with More hearty good will.
1t has gone though and let those weep
who have occasion-tlre Compromisers
who have only compromised themselves,
and the traitors who have lost the reward
of their treason. Thus perish all mea-
sures that would deceive and bepule a
free people--that come with the ..hands of
Esau and the voice of Jacob" Thus per.
sh all attempts TO mingle to mngle togeth-
er oil and water by Legislative hocus pocus,
instead Of sound Constitutional chemistry!

ture OF the unjust slight offered by .SIiss

cooking up her nose and refusing to asso.
