CHAPTER TX.
/. And in process of time the men
returned, and sat again in council, cv-
en in the great Sanhedrim in Balti-
more:
2. And their eyes were red, but not
with weeping, and they were filed,
but not with the split OF wisdom.
3. And the contention waxed great
amonst them, and they strovo together
many days.
! Then there arose certain men Of
Virginia, who said, Let US gather our
selves unto Buchanan, the Tariilite,
for he is Hunker indeed, in whom
there is great guile;
>. His name is published in many
lands, and the sound thereof hath
reached unto our ears, and none can
say that we are settlers forth Of strange
men.
6. 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 tho blood of Democracy
even with lancet.
Z. But the men Of Virginia claye
unto him, and certain wise man
among them said Why do yc mur
mur? And wherefore make ye known
our reproach unto our adveraaries P?
8. AS for that saving, let the mem
ory thereof rot and let the blackness
Of darkness cover it forever!
o. Wot ycnot, that as the strong
man, even Sampson, found honey, yea
the precious honey y-comb, in the body
OF he dead lion; so also my soul
smelieth the SAVIOR of sweet doctrine,
yea, snuffelh the odor Of pure democ-
racy in the carcass Of defunct FEEDER
alism?
10. But the others said, these men be
drunken with new wine let us rather
cleavc unto Marcy, who dispenseth
spoils, and giveth 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 breeches.
-. But We will gather ourselves
unto great nan, and wise, even
Dickinson, and him Only will we fol
low;
l3. For he hath trod in high places
and been seen afar Of all men; for
his goings forth have been stately as
the steppings of the hc-goatof Syria,
that browseth upon Mount Gideon.
IA Then Dickinson bowed himself
unto the ground aud cried unto them,
saying, Oh sirs, live forever - how
belt, for this time, pray you, have
mo excused, as serve Lewis Of Mich
igan, and hm only do / serve
10. And again spake unto them the
men of Virginia, saying, 10! these
many days have NC striven together
with vain contention. There be giants
in the land but ye will none Of them.
lG. Let us, therefore search out
some small man, whose ways are un-
known, so that thc mouths Of gainsay-
erJ shall be stopped
II. Let lis, therefore, assemble our
selves unto Pierce, for he is the small
lest of ten thousand, and altogether
pury
IS. For there is n path which the
eagle knoweth not, and the wild goat
hath not found, and therein hath
Pierce, the son OF New Hampshire
walked for he is u meek man, and
reiuseth to sit on q horse.
10. And it shall come to pass that
as Zoar was saved from the ruin O.
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 tempest upon the great
ones OF our party, and the lightning
shall run along the ground, it shall
spare even Pierce, because he is lit
tic one.
20. Then stood up among them
Rynders the Iliiti!e, who was captain
among certain men of Belial, and sale
Lewis know, and Douglas / know
but who is he?
81. Then answered unto him amar
of New Hampshire, saying, He il
like Ephraim, a pleasant child, for he
speaketh but few words, and writetl
no letters, but he spellelh wonderfully
%. In his right hand he holdeti
the loaves, and with the left he dis
pcnseth the fishes, even places, and he
is cunning to catch gudgeons.
23. Moreover, brethren, he hatl
