In the days Of Augustus Cesar, Roman citizen was
superior TO the rest OF the world and the bare declaration

sufficient to insure the prisoner hearing at the tribunal
Of the capitol and the judgment OF the emperor SO IN
the days OF Mahometan power, the true Musselman IN
every part OF the eastern world Haunted his horse-ta
pennon in the face OF the universe, and invoked the pro-
tecting arm OF the prophet
So ALSO among the Indian tribes OF western country
The Camsaes looked down upon the Crow Foot and The
tribe appealed to his fathers council re and the judg
ment OF his venerated chiefs Il is not strange then
that Americans should feel little Of the pride Of the old
Romans; but when one American begins to look down
with scorn upon another Americanwhen the inhabitanl
OF great State treats with contempt the nhabant OF
small State, Or when the representatives Of all the
ita OF the republic, DISTINGUISHED by the neglect OF those
very representatives in contemptuous il not con-
tempble mannert is time for all lovers Of freedom to
begin to look into the matter, and to apply suitable
remedy We are neither serfs nor subjects; many Of us
born in States Some have been Judges governors,
colonels captains, selectmen. deacons and representa-
State conventions, looked wise on The bench, and

When the Second Washington, in his annual message,
spoke Of all the nations Of the world and the rest Of man
kind, could not for the life Of US, conceive who he
meant. Since, however, the people OF the District Of
Columbia have been prescribed from public office, we
begin to imagine that we the individuals alluded to-

We have said thus much, first, on our own account,
and second Of those who feel the iron rank
We are great country7,a free counryay, and free
and easy country, too We are all of generous with
other peoples money, and we can regulate neigh

We desire to the good old days and good old feel
ings return again. We want to see few more Drom-
COOLIES from the South, and few more Clntons from the
North. We want more principle and less Profession
more honesty and less pretenson-more patriotism and
less sel6shness-more heart and less gizzard Our State
legislatures at skies and sevens all around the
compass their senate chambers many OF them places
Of dscord, rich in vulgar epthes and Blngsgae abuse

legislatures DO you want your Union dissolved Zen
courage chickering's in your representative hail. DO you
want Urant i--make your President ass, and your
