craven in golden capitals, and conspieuously
posted in every street, thoroughfalc, lane and
highway of the Nation, till every man woman
and child becomes familiar with their mighty

blowing its nauseous breath, fetid with the vile
efluvia Of hell. in the face of Liberty, and

folds of our National escutcheon, be wiped
