and the Hon Isaac Lesco, gentleman Of
fortune Although these were alike sup
porters of Mr. Covert, they were faF a5
tho poles asunder in thsir political princi
pies Principles Yes; that is what they
oslled them.
IS Why, SIR heard Aldermen Rye's voice
above the rest, g is not this evidence enough
Of the poisonous consequences Of Whig mis-
fule! Isn't the country already almost
ruin6d-ruined, sir?p
Fortunately Wss seated in the back-rOom,
out | heard those shrill voices in front there,
lutte plainly enough.
g That we are down, sir-that we are
i0wn, as a commercial people, grant you,
vas the response of the Hon Isaac Leech,
" bat not from anything done by the Wing
party Sir, shat party is the palladium Of
cur freedom Sir, the Loeofoeos would
utterly destroy this nation la five years, if
they had their own way. Their leaders are
blind to truth, and the whole party is re
gardless of law"

lion, without mercy. Bargains, corruption,

A pretty fair sample, this, of what hap
oensd whenever the Hon. Isaac Leech came
in contact with Alderman Rye; they seemed
aot only to enjoy it, but to think they were
holding very profund discussion, of much
aterest to their hearers.
Covert had some difficulty in choking off
5hese angry disputes, and in broaohing the
object Of the meeting That was, to make
some movement which should carry abroad
she appearance sf his being popular with both
parties There was q probability of some
Gscontent among the regulars; and no had
hope Of getting good many votes on the
opposition side.
did not stay to take part in it, but de-
parted, after asking Covert if there was any
thing ne wanted me to do for him
He pulled out Of his pocket greasy
letter, much creased in what appeared to
nave been unsatisfactory efforts to fold it, and
said that he had good deal to attend TO, and
it would oblige him if would answer that
ne cared not particularly in what way, except |
that he wished not to offend the writer of the |
spistle, and his friends
g For" said he, {" al their votes count,
either against me, or for me-
The next morning, had the pleasure of
entering into correspondence with the gen
tleman whose name was signed to the fel-

he job in disgust, bat wpon second thought
[ went into the thing as o good joke.
