remember well the strong forte Of your party
to crush the truth by calling it "a Whig lie."
But, Anxious, if there was not a caucus held,
then you have succeeded admirably in getting
up Democratic abolition lie. Well Anxious,

spoke of Mr.. Ellis appointment as a"ms'
sion." Isupposed q mission to be an errand
something to attend to. | do rot yet know
that was wrong and have not looked into
Dictionary to see, but because Mr. Ellis
was not sent out as Foreign Minister Pen

Well, feel it sorely enough, but alway
thought that it looked bad in such great
learned, wel-informe men as Amicus to fin
their enjoyment in despising those who ar
not their equals in learning. Thou hast bee
fortunate, Anxious, expect thou knowes
Dilworth and Pike by heart! hast been thro

admiration for thy learning and knowledge

you try to bear an opponent down by learn
ing and brow beating be sure first that yor
are well loaded with the right sort of amunl-
ton, and hold your gun SO as not to kick
I fear that some of the last discharges have
seriously injured you, Your gun is badly
constructed, or badly loaded, hurting the ope-
rator worse than the object aimed at. An
other thing have noted in my observations
of your shooting, aid that is, try as you will
to conceal it, protest your Democracy as you
will-clam as you may, to De "Detendel
of the Failh''-still it sticks out-shews Its
cloven foot and is indelibly stamped upon
YOU that you belong to the family OF Sheldon!

In answer to your question what the "od
mule did" will answer, that when she hat
zone far enough she stopped! One othel
thing she did, that if you, Anxious, would do
might prove great relief to you and pre-
vent serious disasters to your person while
you remain unhooped.
