" The wings Of this State will abide by the constitution

wholesome advice, | will recIprocatc the
favor, by counseling him to take a dose
of Smiths grammar and work it off with
a few grains of common sense. When
this prescription has restored his mental

your valiant correspondent, think have

to do; but it seems to have operated on

of this bad humor, l'll lay good portion
