As bribng Bank Directors are aware:
If these be trines, why did Freedom S son,
The great, the good, the Godlike Washington, i,
Devote his life to vigilance end toll
To rear Temple on Columbia's soil;
| Beneath whose high. and bright, and hallowed
dome,
Freedom might find shelter and home,
| Where every lovely virtue might appear,
! Bright as their native heavens unclouded
/ sphere,
Whence Peace and Order might protection
draw,
From Truth-and Justice-.iberty and Law.
| If these be dreams or trihes, if you will,
! All aehy did Warren bleed on Bunker's Hill?
The Judge-the Magistrate don't des-
! cribe;
| Nor cen the Edttor-who takes brbe;
| The difference in this brief view,
/ The evil each-1eibtiR his sphere, may do,
The principles the same-'tis understood,
! From Libel-suits-to gallant Ctltey's blood !;
/ Pure blood by 6rt5es and base corruption
Whilst 5riJing Bankers naunt in pride and
guilt
In pride and guilt ;-Wh hilst 10 the widows
tear!
And hark the orphans wailings-strikc the
All who but Cod can estimate their pain?
! They cry to Heaven nor will they cry in
vain
The man who takes a JriGe would strip the
dead,
Or rob the orphan Of his crust of bread
So lost to iustce-equity and right
This man would steal the aged :. widows
mite -
Is well prepared for ereJy kind of fraud,
Would sell his country or betray his God,
PiIlage the palace of the King of Kings,
Or strip the gliding from angels wings,
On sad eyents-1tos0 passiag-do reflect;
Freemen be firm, and stern, and cireurn-
spect
Let none be trusted, who for Office pants,
To pamper yulgar-artifcial wants,
Let ev'ry idle-vain-an vicious drone
Live-if he can-but TRUST NOT such q one:
Remember what Tines faithful record saith,
That Carthage fell-and fell by PUNIC
FAITH -
The man who is unfaitbful to a trust,
However small-is yitaily unjust,
And lie who is upjust--in little thugs,
Would be villain IN the Courts of Kings,
Present a JriJc and down his virtue falls,
In C0urSS-Or CampS-Or Legislative Halls
Tie Jrtded apostote.-Blot his hateful name
From each aud every scroll of honest fame,
Let no man trust'bim None forbear to shed,
Contempt-and deep dishonor-on his head
Let Scorn still point her finger and her jibes,
And say-ED Behold the consequence of
Bribes!
Let guieless childrcn-as be passes by,
Shrink from his touch, and shudder at his eye;
Let lovely woman loath him with disgust,
And shun him-like the reptile in the dust /;
And, whilst he lives, let Infamy alone,
Claim the BriJed Legislator-as her orn;
Until he dies-and sinks unto the grave,
To poison worms, that feed upon the knave !;
Ther-'midst the storms-let hidious Fures,
foul,
Hold nightly revels-and in concert howl;
Let Kissing serpents make that spot their home,
And be the watchful guardian of his tomb; (
And when he goes to He'll. let Devils stare,
And ask him-who the Devil sent him there?
And feel the insult-deep, severe and keen, |
To see a pre-emincntly mean
: Midst better Devils rudely ushered in,
a appalling prodigy of SIM
And in HelPs fercest = hottest-furnace
cramnd,
Let him be surperlativeIy damned,
And why not damned-for such transcendent
crimes
Yea = damned eternally, ten thousand
times ,
