A Voice ftom "tAe Muddy Pool of OBJ
liVion,"


Who art thou,-O man that deviseth
the "ncfarious schemen that is to 'bloom
in perpetual youth? Hast thou broke
loose from that great chain with which
thou vert bound, 10, many years ago; or
hast thou been let loose for little sea-
son, and art now on thy mission going
up and down through and upon "the face
of mother earth" seeking whom thou
canst devour? Listen! No voice is heard.
1t may be we're mistaken. 1t is posi-
bic that it was nothing but the believing
of old Borcas with bad cold. We have
indeed heard of wars andrumors of wars
We have heard the serried tramp of the
mighty host that has threatened our de
structOn; but we are now taught to fear
a worse than Ambient or Erie calamity
may befal this now peaceful spot" What
can it be? Ny countrymen! place your
hands upon your heads, and see if you
can devise what it means. Ifvou cannot.
then submissively bow your revcrential
heads, and let the hand that consigns you
to "the muddy pool of oblivion" figure
out upon your craniums the great Won
der-and the cause of all this confusion.
If he fails call upon Kelpy. Farther, /
cannot advise you now. As Stumble
individual'' you will please excuse me.
| "craves pardon" for 'thus intruding."
though in "the muddy pool of oblivion"
nevertheless, my voice is loud and strong,
and | only whisper to you now, fearing
to let out my voice, lest the natives lie
shocked out of their propriety. But, be-
ware / know not how much longer |
shall be able to hold on;-the fire of in
dignation burns furiously within and may
burst forth at any moment. My claims
are founded in justice" and you know
what the consequence would be. You
shall "at once dcsSt from any further
attempt to .perpetrate an inJustice.n
You know what =" first principles" are and
how they "should be settled" Stand
back gentlemen, and you will see one of
the all-fircdest fights you ever did Sec
front seats reserred for the Iadies-"the
end to he secured" is great. >"Let usn
look at "the organic law Of the Staten
and the Ordinance of 'S7. 1t says they
shall be given up. Aye, Jenny dear,
Eve got you there, and so | have you
must learn to turn the corners quicker.
'If right and the constitution are to suf-
fer" than let the Niger run, Though my
whole m0fdl nature must stand IN alley
ancc to my sellishnesS.". This doctrine
extended would abrogate all correct gov
eminent, anil introduce anarchy and CON
fusion" 1t is marked out ON the great
chart, they shall be deiirered up Can
violation of this de forccd upon the far
mer minority" in spite Of their repeated
circumstances, and maintain this section
of the Constitution" Who advises the
violation Of law? "Thcy are projected
and carried forward by certain individu-
ais possessing powers and privileges not
guaranteed by the rest of the commune
ty." These individuals shave a two-fold
advantage, that of" obcying law when it
suits them, and disregardng law when it
is to their interest, or not in accordance
with their depravtd aPpetites. Boys!
where are those three pennies Did
you steal them or did they steal them
selves "If it has come TO this, that
private property cannot he held and CON
trolled" "only on the fraH tenure of the
popular will, where are our liberties and
incentives to industry? Ye ''cringing
sycophants, and wire pulling politicians
and political demagogucs, and hungry
spectators! where are your higher law
doctrines.7 Does "not justice in this
case demand redress, and rirtue blush at
the effrontery?" L.
