These are few specimens, out of the many
that might give, OF the practical workings o
the "patriGrrhicdL institution" Strange that
syslrm of ckedness SO hldeuus and revolving
so destitute of every principle of humanity
should BE- tolerated one mument,by the descend
ants of Allen. We should suppose that or

men TO office who are in favor of extending ant
perpetua'ng 81 dIaboIlcal an institution That

What dgnifed employment for these grea
