demanded to know, whether the
constituency of Eatanswill were the
grsnd fellows they had always taken
them for, or base and servile tools,
undescrving alike of the the name Of
Englishman and the blessings Of free

agitated the town before.
The Pickwickiaus had no sooner dis
mounted, than they were surrounded
bya branch mob of the honest and in
dependent. who forthwith set up three
deafening cheers, which being respon-
ded to by the main body (for it $ not
at all necessary for crowd to know
what they are cheering about) swelled
into tremendous roar of triumph,
which stopped even the red-faced man
in the balcony.
"Hurrah shouted the mob in

"One cheer more, screamed the
little buglcman in the balcony; and
out shouted the mob again. as if lungs
we're cast iron with steel works..
"Slumkey forever" roared the hon
est Independent.
Slumkey for ever" echoed Nj
Pickwick, taking off his hat.
"No, Fizkin, reared the crowd.
Certainly not, " shouted Mr.
Pickwick.
Hurrah !" And then there was
another roaring. like that Of a whole
menagerie when the elephant has rung
the bell for the cold meat.
"Who is Slumkey 2" whispered
Mr.. Tupman.
II don't know" replied Mr.. Pick
wick in the same tone. Hush. Don't
ask any questions. 1t s always best
on these occasions to do what the mob
do"
"But suppose there are two mobs .
suggested Mr.. Snodgrass.
