made my adventine appearcneet to night in
the stately mansion Of this mundane fabric,
did not contemplate being called on to
participate in'the stormy and ADVANTAGEOUS
vociferations; and boistrous detonationg.

seems your determination by considerable
acclamation that should address this asl

my expatiation may meet the approbation
of this whole conglomeration. yaii iefu

to consideration, those who are most suita-

demorlization and desolation, which a bad
administration would have on every rank
and station, in every occupation, without
qualification. Then fellow citizens, as l 4.
