CHAPTER TX
l And IN process of time the men re-
turned and sat again in council even
in the great Sanhedrim in Baltimore
.. And their eyes were red, but not
with weeping; and they were filled; but
not with the spirit of wisdom.
3. And the contention waxed great
amongst them, and they strove togeth-
er many days.
a. Then there arose certain men Of
Virginia, who said, Let us gather our
selves unto Buchanan, the TarlfTi,e. for
he is Hunker indeed, in whom there is
great guile;
5. His name is published in many
lands, and the sound thereof hath reach
ed unto our ears and none can say we
are settlers forth of strange men.
8. But others cried, Nay, for he was
raised in the tents of wickedness, and hath
blasphemed against us in the language
OF Ashdod, saying that he would let out
the blood Of Democracy, even with a
lancet.
7. But he men Of Virginia clave unto
him, and certain wise man among them
said Why do We murmur! And where
fore make ye known our reproach unto
our adversaries
s. AS far that saying, let the memory
thereof rot, and let the blackness of
darkness cover it forever!
9. Wot we not, that as the strong man
even Samson, found honey, yea, the pre-
cious honeycomb, in the body of the
dead lion; so, ALSO my soul smeIleth the
SAVIOR of sweet doctrine, yea, snudeth
the odor of pure Democracy, in the car
Cass of defunCt Federalism.
10. But the others said, These men
be drunken with new wine, let us rather
cleave unto Marcy, who dispenseth
spoils, and glveth much raiment unto
those that follow after him.
II. Then replied unto them the men
of Virginia. AS for this Marcy, we have
no inheritance in him; let him remain
like Asher, by the sea shore, and dwell
in his brooches.
II. But we will gather ourselves unto
great man, and wise, even Dickinson,
and him only will WE follow.
13. For he hath trod in high places,
and been seen afar off of all men; for his
goings forth have been stately as the
stepping of the he-goat of Syria, that
brousrth upon Mount Gideon.
If. Then Dickinson bowed himself
unto the ground and cried unto them,
saying, Oh, sirs, live forever !-howbeit,
for this time, | pray you, have me excu-
sed, since serve Lewis of Michigan,
and him only do serve.
10. And again spake unto them the
men of Virginia, saying, Lo these many
days have we striven together with
vain contention. There be giants in the
land, but we will none of them.
16. Let US, therefore, search out some
small man, whose ways are unknown,
SO that the mouths Of gainsayers shall be
stopped.
II. Let us, therefore, assemble our
selves unto Pierce, for he is the small
est among ten thousand and altogether
puny.
Is. For there is path which the ca
gle knoweth not and the wild goat hath
not found, and therein hath Pierce, the
son of New Hampshire, walked; for he
is meek man and refuseth to SIT upon
a horse.
10. And it shall come to pass that as
Zoar was saved from the ruin OF Sodom
because it was the least of the cities of
the plain, so shall it happen that when
the wrath of the people shall rain down
tempests upon the great ones of our par
ty, and the lightning shall run along the
ground, it shall spare even Pierce, be-
cause he is little one.
30. Then stood up among them Ryn-
ders the Hittite, who was captain among
certain men of Belial, and said, Lewis
| know, and Douglas know; but who
is he
81. Then answered unto him man
of New Hampshire, saying, he is like
Ephraim, pleasant child, for he spea-
keith but few words, and writeth no let
tiers, but he spelleth wonderfully.
%. In his right hand he holdeth the
Ioaves, and with his left he dispenseth
the fishes, even places, and he is Gun.
ming to catch gudgeons.
90. Moreover, brethren, he hath been
known to give aims, even cent, money
current with the merchant, unto boy
that was stranger unto him.
"a. Then exclaimed Rynders the Hit.
tite, the like thereof was never heard
ofin lsreal; and as my soul liveth, unless
| see with my own eyes, and feel with
these fingers, that cent, even that red
cent, | will not believe, though one
rose from the dead
